Brentford VS Chelsea  

In today's EPL  match Chelsea vs Brentford i will bet for goals over 2.5 with  odd 1.90. 

Why i am batting with this 2.5 over goal. As current point table in epl stand at number 4 and Brentford at number 9. EPL one of the competitive soccer League in the world. Every team have the capability to win.But in current situation Chelsea is in great shape. Chelsea had already played some outstanding games and stood at number 3 in the table.On the other hand Brentford also played some great games in the recent match.  But as Chelsea have some great and world class strikers and midfielder i think Chelsea would  win and both of this two team will scores. And the total goal will be over 2.5.

My prediction total goals over 2.5( odd 1.90)

ETERNAL FIRE VS AUSTRALIS

Oh man.. this is going to be sweaty. 👀 This is their 2nd match together with the last one ending in Australis Victory 16-9 Inferno. Revenge match for Eternal fire? Free odds on 2.5+ maps?

 

ETERNAL FIRE:

Ranking 19th, these guys have been playing incredibly well in their last 3 matches winning against Movistar Riders and Nixuh demolishing both but lost to ENCE 1-2 for a very CLOSE game. Just them performing on the same level as ENCE says something and that is THEY are improving!

XANTERES (IGL) is expected to carry and give good callouts as per usual.

WOXIC by his side securing the rounds and clutching up moments when the team needs him most.

Form is looking great for these guys. All members are doing well but the exception for xfl0ud because he has not been very impactful.

 

ASTRALIS:

Ranking 16th, THEY have not been doing very great... seen a couple games, left disappointed. Lost some money on them too.

This month has not been to kind for these guys. All their players have been underperforming in many games except for a few... teams they should've won OR came close to like Bad News eagle and Forze. They lost miserably and made soo manyyy careless* mistakessss.

Many are hoping this match against EF will redeem them and prove they are better than EF like they showed last time just a little under 2 weeks ago.

MY PREDICTION:

This is a tough match especially with a BO3 match considering both these teams can be BEASTS when it comes to their picks and occasionally decider maps if it's in their favor.

Here is my prediction for the upcoming mappool: 

1. Eternal Fire removed Ancient

2. Astralis removed Vertigo

3. Eternal Fire picked Dust2 (EF has good chances are, they are great on this map for CT side)

4. Astralis picked Mirage (Ez win for Australis)

5. Eternal Fire removed Inferno

6. Astralis removed Nuke

7. Overpass was left over (50/50, This map really is a coinflip because its so MOMENTUM driven. If you have a good streak and economy, chances are, you'll win just by picking off enemies with good utilities and awps.)

This will be fun to watch and bet on for all CSGO players here. So the safest bet would be to go over 2.5 MAPS.

Both teams are great but generally AUSTRALIS has the upperhand because they are more EXPERIENCED. -mistr because the dude has only been on the team for 29 days but shows good results compared to the rest of his peers. 

Many FANS and casual viewers alike are mostly in favor of EF. Thinks they got what it takes to exact their revenge on AUSTRALIS.

Anyways, MY prediction for this match is that ETERNAL FIRES WILL WIN! They have played more maps on OVERPASS which im hoping will be the decider map and im taking the risk for the HIGH payout! The only problem I have with AUSTRALIS is that they have been on the decline and have lost SO much firepower/motivation needed to win their games. ALSO this is played online so EF has the advantage. They play most comfortably in their own place as seen from many games.

THIS MATCH STARTS IN 4 HOURS!

EPL

 

Manchester United VS Tottenham Hotspur

Observation- Manchester being 5th in the league with a record of 5-1-3 and has scored 7 goals in there last 3 games BUT has also allowed 7 goals against them in the last 3 games. This is telling me that they can score but get scored on a lot. Tottenham is in 3rd in the league with a record of 7-2-1 and has scored 4 goals in the last 3 games. There last match up in march was 3-2 for Manchester and I feel this game should be around the same. 

Key Players - Harry Kane for Tottenham has 192 Premier League goals (lifetime) and 9 goals so far for them this season.

                       - Marcus Rashford for Manchester has 5 goals so far and is leading the team in goals so far this season.

 Prediction is both teams to score for 1.65 pinnacle

=> Total under 23 games 1.91 odds.

Here, of course, it is not clear in many ways with the motivation of Stefanos and Cressy serving this is a dangerous bet, however, the Greek will be one of the strongest opponents for the American in recent matches, while Wolf beat 2:0 and through total in games, so if the Greek will play at least 60% of his level, then he can beat cressy in 2 sets with a break. Being not in the best shape, Stef managed to get to the final of Astana, where he lost to Djokovic 0:2, but there were no chances for me. And Cressy has a feeling that he is not in the best shape now, there was a swing game with Ivashka.

Premier League and I am going for the same match at Steve as Manchester Utd are my team 🙂 I think calling a winner in this game is hard but one thing is for sure it always seems to have goals in it, only one match out of the last 5 has has less than 2.5 goals in it. So I am gonna jinx the hell out of it and pick over 2.5 goals in the Manchester Utd V's Tottenham. Probably going to be 0-0 now but the stats say we should have goals!

Veronika Kudermetova vs Donna Vekic
Veronika Kudermetova win 1.56

Eighth-ranked Veronika Kudermetova of Russia will face the newcomer Donna Vekic of Croatia in a second round match. Will Donna be able to get revenge for her recent defeat at the US Open?

Surface: Hard

Floor speed: 8/10

Current Kudermetova rating: 12

Kudermetova's win balance (2022): 37-19

Kudermetova (hard) win balance: 23-11

Current Vekic rating: 47

Vekic's win balance (2022): 28-19

Vekic's win balance (hard): 10-8

Statistical facts for Kudermetova vs Vekic:
Kudermetova has won her last five consecutive matches played in Mexico.

Vekic has won seven of her last eight matches on hard court.

Kudermetova vs Vekic in head-to-head meetings:
In the face-to-face encounter an absolute tie 2-2, the last time they met this season, most recently at the U.S. Open, Kudermetova won - 7:5, 6:3.

Another prediction for Veronika Kudermetova - Donna Vekic:
The Russian is feeling well as always on the hard court, she has not had much luck this season, three finals, four semifinals, three quarterfinals, but no titles. A week ago she sensationally lost to Corne in the semifinals in Tunisia. The Croatian is in great shape and has her best period of the season, in the first round match she confidently enough dealt with the Brazilian Pigossi, only in the opening game was a struggle and it ended with a score of 6:4, and in the second game Donna added a logical 6:1 as a result.

1. I'll try to give a bet for the NBA championship match between the Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic. 

2. Detroit failed last season, the team took 14th place. In 82 matches, the team won 23 victories and lost 59 times. 

3. The team also failed in the off-season, losing four times in four games, with Detroit losing by more than 15 points in three games and missing by more than 115 points. . 

4. Orlando finished last season in last 15th place, scoring one less victory than Detroit. In the off-season, the team surprised by scoring four wins in five matches. 

5. Orlando in these matches did not miss more than 110 points. Detroit is clearly not in the best shape right now, and Orlando is on the move. I think that Orlando has every chance of winning, but I'll bet on total.
Bet; Under 217.5 
Odds: 1.909

Two mega scoring teams, explosive, who do not like to return to defense at all, like to transfer the ball in a straight and fast way and naughty threes. The Rockets are generally young, there the average age of the poster is about 22/23 years old, the green ones also have no one to really play in defense. Atlanta, led by Tracks Young, is also not particularly defiant, last season they missed as much as under 120 often. And then there's Dejont Murray, who will also move the ball forward and play with it more, they prefer it more than cutting from behind. Kevin Porter, Green, Shengyun, draft pick Jayuary Smith, all of these guys will be bringing the Hawks solid tonight. I don’t believe that the teams will change their style, the coaches have remained the same, they always play spectacularly, so such a total in this match should not scare at all. They will surely score high. Young generation.

My betting pick will be total over 234 pts 1.892 odds..

Marie Bouzkova once again proved that she knows the conditions of Guadalajara pretty well. She dispatched countrywoman Tereza Martincova, 6-2, 7-5, with 82% first-serve points won and seven aces. After all, it is a city where she has made at least the semifinals in each of her past three visits.

Camila Osorio won only three of 11 service games against Ekaterina Alexandrova. She compensated for her horrible service performance by winning nine of 11 return games and won 6-4, 7-6 after saving two set points in the tiebreak. The match ended on the Russian's 10th double-fault.

Camila Osorio entered the quarterfinals when she made her debut in Guadalajara earlier this season. Marie Bouzkova is unlikely to be impressed with that alone. The Czech boast more than twice as many wins in this season as the youngster and stands as the clear favorite.

 My bet: less than 2.5 sets with 1.510 odds
