🏀 2:30 PM: Georgia v Slovenia, World Cup 2023 – Men, Group F, Round 1
Intrigue: how will Luka Doncic surprise us: the first triple-double in the history of the tournament or another 30+ points?
The star point guard of the Slovenian basketball team scored an impressive 37 points in the last match with the Venezuelan team, and the Slovenians themselves faced their opponent without problems with a score of 100:85. The same applies to the representative of the CIS, represented by the Georgian team, who did not leave any chance for the rookies of the tournament represented by Cape Verde. If Slovenia wins, Alexander Sekulich’s team may not worry about leaving the group. “What surprise do the Georgians have in store?” This is also an interesting question!

⚽️ 9:00 p.m.: Al-Hilal – Al-Ittifaq, Pro League, matchday 4
Intrigue: the number of stars is turned upside down! What is this, the Champions League?
If we open the compositions of Al-Hilal and Al-Ittifaq, it may seem that they are participants at least in the group stage of the Champions League: Bono, Koulibaly, Neves, Milinkovic-Savic, Neymar, Malcom and Mitrovic, on the one hand . on the one hand and Henderson, Vitinho, Moussa Dembélé and Quison on the other. Both clubs have seven points after three matchdays and are immediately behind leaders Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli. That is why it is difficult to overestimate the importance of victory.

⚽️ 21:00: Al Wahda vs Al Ittihad Pro League Matchday 4
Intrigue: Benzema scores little. When will Karim break through?
So far, the main surprise is Benzema’s restraint in the Saudi Arabian Championship. After three days, the Frenchman only has one goal (and two assists). Perhaps Karim will start to justify his gigantic salary in a meeting with Al-Wahda, a team of medium size, but very ambitious and that still walks among a large group of leaders.

⚽️ 9:45 p.m.: Cagliari – Inter, Serie A, matchday 2
Intrigue: Will Inzaghi reach Milan? Ranieri is against him!
Inter is considered almost the main contender for the Scudetto: the Milanese have a prepared game, a progressive coach and excellent players. In order not to let Milan go down the table and not stumble out of the blue, it is necessary to defeat Cagliari. But this team is led by Claudio Ranieri, he returned the club to the elite and is ready to surprise.

🏐 10:00 p.m.: Belgium v Italy, UEFA EURO 2023 – men, preliminary tournament, group A, 1st round
Intrigue: how the European champions start – 2021 after the League of Nations without medals
The men’s European Championship begins in the middle of the final phase of the women’s draw, behind 1/8. The Italians, as one of the hosts of the tournament, face the Belgians in Bologna. In total, 24 teams will participate in the Eurocup and 16 will play knockout matches. The seven-time European champions, the Italians, approach the local tournament with almost no losses, and the team will be joined by 19-year-old diagonal Alessandro Bovolenta, son of the famous blocker Vigor Bovolenta. Poland, Slovenia, Serbia and France are also among the favorites for the tournament.

Intrigue: the Madrid derby that Rayo won more than 10 years ago!
The historicity of the confrontation is what intrigues before the meeting between Rayo Vallecano and Atlético. The last time the loser beat this great rival was a long time ago – in February 2013. But there is also something more interesting: how Radamel Falcao will show himself. The legendary Colombian continues without effective action this season, but what if he goes against the former team and scores? By the way, right now Rayo has two points (6) more than Atlético (4).

Young Russian Mirra Andreeva first came to TBSh directly by rating. The 16-year-old star will begin her US Open debut with a lesser-status opponent. Australia’s Olivia Gadeki, 21, is now racket number 139 in the world, having reached the main tournament via qualifying. Previously, the tennis players did not know each other.
