In the previous match Miami lost 97:144 to Milwaukee. That fight was without Jimmy Butler, who had an ankle injury. Without their leader the “lights” could not play on equal terms with the “deer”. In addition, they had absolutely no three-point shots. Unsurprisingly, the Bucks won by such a big margin. It should be noted that Miami have won only one match so far. Within their native walls Spoelstra’s wards managed to cope with New Orleans (111:98). In another meeting the Heat were defeated by Orlando (107:113).
Liverpool won their 19th title this year, adding to 15 FA Cups. Jurgen Klopp’s charges easily passed the group stage of the Champions League, where they got for winning the championship. In six rounds the Reds won four games and shared points with Midtjylland in one (1:1). The start in the new championship of the English Premier League can be called quite successful or smooth for the champion. In 15 rounds of the current championship the Reds won nine duels and five ended in peace. In December the Merseysiders never lost. After the victory over Wolverhampton (4:0), guests drew twice and defeated Tottenham (2:1) and Crystal Palace (7:0), for which we gave a prediction. It is impossible not to note the best league performance in an attack that struck the gates of opponents 37 times. In the infirmary of the reigning champion are Matip, Alcantara, Tsimikach, Jota, Van Dyck and Gomez, who has a knee injury. More soccer predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
