NEXUS VS INSILIO

NEXUS:

Ranking 194th globally, just like any other typical C-Tier teams, they have just as much flaws.

Despite great utility usage and occasionally the perfect team symmetry, the main thing dragging them down is how they NEED every member to step up when it matters the most.  There is always someone doing incredibly bad whether it be their personal game decisions or aim - it is ultimately dragging everyone else down.

Right now, NEXUS suffers from this. They rely too much on the carry which makes it so hard for them to be consistent. Anyways - form is decent and they should be able to beat INSILIO easily.

 

INSILIO:

Ranking 331th, they are a fairly new team in the esports scene without much prior experience (not even registered on HLTV database yet).

It is unknown as it what their potential may be but all I can say is - they are actually pretty good for starters.

 

MY PREDICTION:

Experience is crucial and INSILIO lacks that. 

Nexus has been playing for a while and their form is just RIGHT in the middle. Hopefully they don't throw this match.

NEXUS TO WIN

Madison Keys yesterday played very strictly with Rybakina. She immediately imposed her game management on Elena and controlled the pace that was favorable to her throughout the match. She took most of the blows, but Rybakina had nothing to answer with. Kvitova won her yesterday's match much easier against tired Tomlyanovic, shot 12 aces and spent only an hour and 15 minutes. Both tennis players are in good shape. Keys won this tournament in 2019, then defeating Kenin in the semifinals, and Sveta Kuznetsova in the final. Of course, she wants to repeat her success. She has high chances to pass Kvitova. But it won't be easy to do so. Petra is now also in good shape and will not give up anything without a fight. Three sets are quite possible here, well, or two tight ones. 

My betting pick is over 21.5 games 1.75 odds.

Worst thing about this competition is when you are not 100% sure of your pick and it backfires! It happened last night with LA Galaxy drawing 3-3 after being 2-0 up and it may happen today with my Premier league pick, I am going for the Leicester V's Southampton and Leicester to win @1.75 on Bet365, I wanted to go with Brentford V's Fulham and Brentford win but odds were too high @2.90 this would have been my pick but alas rules are rules.

The reason why I am going for Leicester to win is based on their head to head record for last 5 games, Leicester have won 3 and there have been 2 draws- My worry is that this game will be a draw to level things up at 3w 3d. Vardy is starting to look hungry though and I think he will start scoring soon and I think his tenacity will prove too much for the Saints defense. I am hoping for a 2-0 win for Leciester but this could easily be 0-0 or 1-1.

The match between Jesse Eini and Mariam Bolkvadze
At pinnacle odds: 2.000 on Total Over 21 for games.

Preview for the match:
Jesse Eini and Mariam Bolkvadze will face each other in the first round of qualifying for the Cleveland tournament. Who will make it through?

Surface: Hard

Coverage speed: 8 out of 10

Einie's current rating: 426

Einie's win balance (2022): 35-21

Einie's win balance (hard): 11-9

Bolkvadze's current rating: 271

Bolkvadze Victory Balance (2022): 18-25

Bolkvadze Victory Balance (hard): 6-9

Statistical facts on the Eini - Bolkvadze match:
In four of Einie's past five bouts, there have been exactly two sets.

Bolkvadze has lost four games in a row on American courts.

Face-to-face meetings between Eini and Bolkvadze:
The tennis players have never crossed paths with each other. The first face-to-face battle is coming up.

Jesse Eini - Mariam Bolkvadze match prediction:
The 24-year-old Eini is playing very often this season, but only at mediocre tournaments of the ITF level. However, the American is very confident in tournaments like this. For example, on the hard courts in Colombia and Canada Jessie managed to reach the quarterfinals. You should not write off the American athlete.

Bolkvadze has been performing only on hard courts since the beginning of summer. Over this period the Georgian player has not showed anything extraordinary, but she was good in Porto (she lost in the semifinals), as well as in Nur-Sultan (she lost in the 1/2 finals). Only now Mariam is in a bit of a slump, because the girl lost in the first stage in three tournaments in a row.

Both tennis players are far from the benchmark. We don't see here an easy victory for Bolkvadze, who has been having problems lately. We expect an equal and persistent match

I give Borna a standing ovation - no matter how much he plays, everything is the same. Well, let's see what happens here - Coric continued to destroy everyone and everything in his path, this time Auger could not stand the power of the Coric beat him in 2 sets, now meeting with Norrie. He unexpectedly for many, defeated Alcaraz in a three-hour battle, in three sets but before that there was a difficult match with Murray too and Rune in sets. I'm not sure that the he will be enough for the played coric, who so far has only one serve since the match with Rafa and looks good in aces. Looking both of them, I think bet on total over is safe.

This will be my pick for the competition. I will choose the match between DC United and Philadelphia Union. 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 Philadelphia Union win 2.02 odds.

1. DC United are currently in last place in the East table. The club scored 22 points in 25 rounds. 
2. They are already seven and eight points behind the rivals above. Therefore, Washington need to start consistently winning in order to catch up with opponents. 
3. However, the They have not won in the last four rounds. During this period , United lost three times and drew once.
4. The Philadelphia Union have the opposite situation in the Eastern Conference compared to the DC.
