ONETAP vs ONYX

As of now, both teams are of similar ranks  around 100-120th and have not been doing so good this season. With only a mere 40% winrate, they continue to struggle against many other teams in terms of all aspects such as skill, tactics, mentality, etc.

However, OneTap on the other hand is actually still much better. I saw a couple of their matches and they are all really good players individually. I guess the few moments that caused them to lose the match were the bad timings that occurred causing everything to spiral down since their economy got fked.

Anyways -

Tough match. I would still bet on Onyx just because of their recent two performances making it seem like they finally recovered and have been dominating.

Good odds

ONYX TO WIN

[Arou]

Preview of the match: Mayo vs Decamps
According to the odds on pinnacle: 2.150 on Decamps win, I bet on him.

Harold Mayo and Gabriel Decamps have reached the semifinals at the hard court tournament in Poland. For the Brazilian, it's his second Challenger quarterfinal appearance this season. The previous one was also on hard, but in Kazakhstan. That time Gabriel beat Kukushkin. This time he managed to beat Sebastian Oefner, a tennis player who used to be in the top 130 recently. Decamps himself has never even been in the top 300.

Surface: Hard

Current Mayo rating: 295

Mayo's win balance (2022): 32-23

Mayo's win balance (hard): 9-4

Current Decamps rating: 302

DeCamps (2022) Victory Balance: 29-20

DeCamps (hard) win balance: 18-10

Statistical Facts for Mayo vs DeChamps:
Mayo advanced to the quarterfinals on the Hard Challenger for the first time this season.

DeChamps reached the quarterfinals for the second time this year at the Hardy Challenger.

Mayo vs. DeChamps:
The score in the head-to-head encounter is 1-0. DeChamps won his only bout 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 at 2021 Futures on Indore.

Harold Mayo vs. Gabriel DeCamps bout prediction:
Mayo went past Mareter and Janovic this week. For the German, it was his first hard-court match since January and he appeared unprepared. For the Pole, it was his first hard tournament in two years, so you shouldn't have expected much. In the end, both Mayo and Decamps were far from perfect and had an easy time at the net. For DeCamps, however, this Challenger is more important because he mostly plays futures. Gabriel has already beaten Mayo, so he needs to do it again to move up in the rankings.

American Major League soccer today and the atch I am going with is L.A Galaxy v's Seattle Sounders, this match is a bit of a risky bet as their head to head stats over previous seasons is exactly even. Both teams have won 14 matches and drawn 11 in all of their previous encounters so calling an out right winner for the match is quite a risk. Galaxy how ever have the home advantage and have the slightly better record this season. Galaxy are in 12th place and Seattle are in 19th, both teams are quite evenly matched although L.A have recently strengthened their team with some new players and I think this coupled with the home advantage should see them win this match, so that is what I am going with L.A Galaxy win @1.90 on Bet365, I am not confident with this bet though and I am hoping the Galaxies home advantage will be the deciding factor in this game.

I think L.A will win this match by 2 goals to 1 and this win may see them climb into 10th place in the western league.

NFL

Carolina VS New England 

Observation- Whos ready for a fight! watch this game you will prob see one lol. On there 2 practice nights, both nights there was a fight. On the last practice the fight pushed it way to the fans and a player got thrown into a fan and injured them (google the video if interested).... anyways the game tonight is going to be dirty yes it is preseason so the main players wont be playing but when a football game gets personnel it make for a lot of mistakes and also a lot of show-boating or fighting lol. New england should easily win this game but with everything going on i feel the over is a lock. In both there last games both teams scored over 20 points and were playing decent teams.

Prediction is over 40 at 1.9

Today in the Sevilla takes Valladolid. Sevilla lost its first match and it is impossible to lose more points with such rivals, otherwise everything can end like last season, as they say "sailed, swam and in the end. Two central defenders left the team and the club did not acquire a worthy replacement, it is not worth judging by one match, but as for me, the team will have serious problems with the defense. Valladolid showed his character and snatched a ticket to La Liga, but the team is poorly staffed, reinforcements require all positions and the club does not want to spend money and the team has not significantly strengthened by anyone. Last season, Sevilla was one of the best home teams and in today's match in the class should take 3 points.  
My betting pick is Sevilla win 1.564 odds.

Too late to post my pick. My pick will be from the match between Jessica Pegula and Caroline Garcia.

=> under 22.5 games 

Both players do not like to play for a long time, they prefer to play in two sets, whoever takes the first set will take the match in two games, the advantage of one of the players I don’t see is absolutely equal, if Caroline Garcia wins, she will simply have to take out Pegula in two games easily , will not fly, everything will lose without a chance to Pegula, so it will all depend on Caroline Garcia. I think Pegula win but I cant take chance as Garcia also good.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between Ituano and Gremio Novorizontino. First, I will tell you my tip, then I will explain the preview of the match and the reason behind picking the bet. My betting pick is Ituano win 2.350 odds.

1. There are two neighbor teams in the second division, very strong teams, but I would like to bet on Ituano.
2. Ituano, for example, recently smashed Recife in a match, a very serious club, they won on the away 1 3 csa, and only lost in the last Bahia, but on the road, to the team that will go to Serie A. 
3. But the away somehow slowed down, they play very badly on away, out of the last 7 matches, the team has 5 defeats, and even in general, the team of Londrina, Regatasu lost at home recently, at home they played a draw with Vila Nova, which is in last place, in general, the game does not go on until the guests and Ituano owes it take advantage.
