FaZe vs FNATIC (BO1 MATCH)

So far into this IEM Rio Major '22 qualifiers, both teams have been incredibly shaky despite their stance globally. FaZe, the #1 team in the world suffered to take down GAMERLEGION, a C-Tier team ranking 60th??? In this match yesterday, the FaZe rosters have been constantly missing shots and throwing winnable rounds as if they were distracted, unmotivated, you can even see the frustration on their faces.

So far into this season, they had lost to C9 and G2 on maps they were supposedly better and weak for the other. In conclusion - FaZe's form is poor and they have been losing many rounds that should've been theirs past few matches.

 

Fnatic lost to SANGAL and LIQUID. 

Liquid is understandable since those guys are doing incredible but SANGAL was really unexpected. Fnatic did horribly against them in later halfs on attack side ultimately causing them to lose 1-2. In this qualifiers however, they won comfortably against Aurora with 16-4 (1 map) playing at their best.

 

MY PREDICTION:

Taking the risk and betting Fnatic can win. Depending on the map if it's either NUKE or OVERPASS (based on my predicted map eliminations) , Fnatic has a 50/50 on taking this win. 

Faze's form is poor while Fnatic displayed great performances last match as if they recovered.

Really good odds for a BO1

Juventus vs. Maccabi Haifa
Another champion league night another games between this two times. The games will be start at 19:00 UTC on October 5. This match will be held on Juventus stadium. Both of these two teams belong to Group H in champion league. If we see point table both of these two teams lost both of their last two group match. So, this match will be back in the track match for both of these two teams. Both of these two teams in the bottom of the group. So, both of these two teams must need to win this match to survive in the group.
But my prediction is Juventus Will win. Because Juventus is one of the best team in the world, they have some best player in the team, and they have home advantages.
On the other hand, Maccabi Haifa is relatively new in champion league, and they play away match.
So, my prediction is Juventus Win over 3 goals.

Juventus over 3 goals (Odd 2.00)

Champions League again and last nights pick was terrible, Ajax loosing 5-1 unreal but Napoli looked fearless. I am going for another strait up win tonight and the match I am picking in is Benfica V's PSG and I think both team will score in this and it could be very close as the stats from these two team last 5 meeting would suggest. Both PSG and Benfica have won 2 and there was one draw out of the last 5 games between them.

So it won't be an easy trip for PSG but I have a feeling that they will be going all the way in this competition and will probably make the finals, so my pick for tonight's match is PSG win @1.85 on Bet365.

As a Benfica supporter my love and affection by the team is huge so for me i belive that Benfica will come out victorious or at least with a tie from today's game against PSG.

VS 

In Luz there will be a constellation of stars, since the French are, according to Transfermarkt, one of the most valuable clubs in European soccer, with a squad valued at over 890 million euros, and the top 5 footballers with the highest market value is composed of Mbappé (160 million euros), Neymar (75 million), Marquinhos (70 million), Hakimi (65 million) and Messi (50 million).

In this edition of the group stage of the UEFA competition, Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain have unblemished careers, with two wins in as many games, 6 points and ex aequo leadership.

Analyzing several parameters, Benfica takes the lead in possession, shots, crosses, corner kicks, shots conceded and interceptions; PSG is better in dribbling and one-on-one, touches in the box and passes. 

In possession, the eagles have 54% against 52% of the opponent; they have 33 against 31 shots, with the Gauls hitting the target more: 33% against 38%; they cross more (29 against 20) and are more effective (45% against 20%); they have more corner kicks per game: 6 against 5; they allow fewer shots against: 17 against 23; and they have more interceptions than Paris Saint-Germain (102 against 71).

On the other hand, the Parisian team plays more dribbling and one-on-one shots (64 against 60), but the reds are more successful: 55% against 53%. PSG records more touches in the opponent's area (60 against 41) and takes the lead in passes: 1129 (91% successful) against 1021 (87% successful).

 My bet is: Above 3 goals on the match

=> Jurgen Briand will win 1.909 odds. 
Jurgen Briand playing with Mathias Bourgue. The game promises to be very nervous, both athletes came to the fourth round with three confident wins each, but Bourgue had easy opponents Pullan, Bertrand, Belier, then Brian has a much harder time with Blanche, Jacquet and of course Richard Gasquet who plays very well on hard. Briand is in very good shape, the guy is young and motivated to win with a good serve, he served Gasquet as many as 11 aces. I will bet on this guy, I definitely make a prediction for the victory of Jurgen Briand.

Jurgen Briand vs Mathias Bourgue

Over 23.5 odd 2.090
Jurgen Briand became the author of the main sensation of the first round: the young Frenchman knocked out legendary compatriot Richard Gasquet. Briand distinguished himself with a strong serve, but his opponent took more of the credit for the pass. Gasquet hardly held his serve and missed many breakthroughs. We wouldn't overestimate Jurgen Briand's success so far. Besides, Briand is terribly unstable on the season and his career in general, it's naive to expect him to play another game in a row at a high level. We predict a slump for the Frenchman already in the match against Jurgen Briand.

Surface: indoor hard court

Court speed: 8/10

Position in the Briand rankings: 487

Brean's win balance (2022): 31-19

Bryan's win balance (hard indoors): 6-5

Ranking position Burke: 417

Bourgue (2022) Victory Balance: 16-18

Bourgue's win balance (hard indoors): 3-1

Statistical Facts for Bourgue vs:
Briand has won five of the last six meetings at Indore.

Bourgue has eight wins in his previous ten matches on the Mouilleron-Le-Captif courts.

Face-to-face meetings between Briand and Bourgue:
These athletes have yet to discover the history of a face-to-face encounter.

Jurgen Briand vs Mathias Bourgue
Mathias Bourque had a difficult encounter against the Swiss Antoine Bellier and won his third victory at the tournament in three games. First of all, this fact shows that Bourgue is well prepared physically. At important moments the Frenchman turns on a powerful serve, his main weapon. Finally, the advantage over his future opponent should be experience: Bourgue has been on tour for ten years, won the Challengers (including on Indoors, took the title in Cherbourg) and was 140th in the ATP ranking at the peak. Mathias Bourgue looks more reliable than the one-shot Briand. We'll bet on a win for the nominal favorite.

1. Last season, following the results of the regular season, the Hornets made the play-in. True, it was not possible to overcome this barrier. Charlotte lost to Atlanta. They failed to play in the playoffs again.
2. In the off-season, management decided to change the head coach. Instead of James Borrego came Steve Clifford. At one time, this specialist coached Charlotte for five years. He is very familiar with the capabilities of the team, so he can take the Hornets to a new level.
3. Indiana failed last season. The Pacers failed to qualify for the playoffs. The leadership's patience ran out, so it was decided to arrange a restructuring. Indianapolis left the leaders. The tea, was shown to Domantas Sabonis, T.J. Warren, and Malcolm Brogdon. Instead, the Sacramento managed to trade Tyrese Halliburton and Buddy Heald.
4. In the off-season, the Pacers also added Daniel Theis and Aaron Naismith to the ranks. But the Indiana bosses decided not to touch Rick Carlisle.

Bet: Charlotte win

Odds: 2.08 odds.

Muramatsu is 24 years old, in fact, it is already clear that she has lost her potential and, at best, will play conditional semi-finals of ITF tournaments, and qualifications for home tournaments are slightly higher than the ITF level. In 2019, she won her only tournament and after that two terrible seasons of decline. In the first round, she managed to give her serve to an absolutely zero opponent.. Saito, at the age of 16, is already in the top 12 in juniors. She won two tournaments of the first category there and is now deservedly considered one of the best young tennis players in the world. In the first round, she left no chances to her opponent in two sets, it is worth noting the percentage of the second serve - 85, which is a very decent figure for the women's round. 
My betting pickwill be Sara Saito will win 1.76 odds.
