SL Benfica vs Juventus 

time in Group H SL Benfica is going head to head with Juventus starting on 25 Oct 2022 at 19:00 UTC at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica stadium, Lisbon city, Portugal. Here is the interesting things about this match is Seria A giant Juventus is playing pretty much average in this champion league season on the other hand portuguese giant Benfica playing their best games in this season of champion league. So  i would rather say that their will be head to head compition between this two team in this match. Though this match is the do or die match for Juventus for alive in the champion league play off they try to win this match. On the other hand Benfica have the chance to play play-off if they win this match because they are in the number two in this group point table. So i would rather say that both of this two team will score in this match. And i am not sure who is gonna be win this match because Juventus have sone great players who gonna game difference in any time of the match.On the other hand Benfica have the home support and have the great advantage of home Field and have some great players who gonna make any difference in anytime. That why i says both team to score.
My prediction for this match is Both team to score(YES- ODD 1.75)

Chicago vs Boston. 
The game of the bulls has not changed since last season, there are big gaps in defense and without Ball the team does not look very promising. The Cavs already threw 128 Bulls out of the clearing, I wouldn’t be surprised if Boston themselves flooded under 120, they are now on fire, the team shoots a lot of threes at a good percentage of about 40, Tatum and Brown score under 30 or even more every match, they play fast and while not looking at the defense much, although the Celtics have one of the best potential in terms of defense, but I think it will be fun on the Chicago site and Lavigne and Vucevic can adjust to the fast game of Boston and there will be just a shootout. So for such teams, the total is very punchy.
My betting pick will be total over 225.5 .

1. Dinamo Zagreb have had an impressive run in the Champions League, even though they are only in fourth place. Nevertheless, four points obtained in the match with Salzburg (1:1) and Chelsea (1:0) allow us to even count on getting into the playoffs.

2. Croatia recently broke up with Hajduk (1:1) in the domestic championship, and in general, things are going very well in the regular draw. There is not a single defeat yet, only two draw results in 13 rounds, which made it possible to create an eight-point lead over the nearest pursuer.

3. The Zagreb team scores almost three goals per match on average. The only thing is that Bosko will never recover from the damage he received. 

4. Milan, contrary to many expectations and forecasts, fails in European competition and with four points is only in third place. This is due to two defeats in a row from Chelsea (0:3 and 0:2) and a draw in a duel against the Austrian Salzburg (1:1), where they failed to open the massive defense.

5. The Milanese in Serie A developed a series of four rounds won in a row, trying to defend the league title. In general, in the national championship they are now clearly on the move, however, the only defeat in the match with the direct competitor of Napoli forces them to go to the second position with a three-point lag.
Bet: Total over 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.909

Mackenzie McDonald would be delighted with some of the results he has gotten since leaving the USA a couple of months ago. He has won only eight second-round matches on the main tour since the beginning of the 2021 season, and three of those wins have come in the last 30 days. He reached the quarterfinal in Seoul at the end of last month and Florence earlier this month and went one step further last week in Napoli, where he led the former Italian #1 and eventual runner-up Matteo Berrettini by a set in the semifinal.

Alex Molcan played his first match on the main tour since the US Open on the indoor hard courts in Stockholm last week and lost to the American, Jeffrey John Wolf, in straight sets in the first round. The Slovakian is currently on a four-match losing streak on the main tour, and he hasn't won a match at this level since defeating Mackenzie McDonald in the first round at Montreal Masters in August.

Alex Molcan leads 1-0. The Slovakian has had a better season in 2022, and there is no doubting his ability to win this matchup on indoor hard courts. However, form and performance on the surface in recent weeks make Mackenzie McDonald the slight favorite in this evenly poised clash. Can Alex break the losing streak?

 My bet: Alex Molcan to win at 2.180 odds

NHL- Oct 25 2022

Buffalo Sabers VS Seattle Kraken 

Observation- Well since there is no NFL or MLB is guess I'll go NHL (hockey), Looking into the start of the season so far Buffalo is 4-1-0 and are averaging 4.4 goals per game wow mainly due to scoring 15 goals in the last 3 game .. thats nuts for hockey.. going up against Seattle whom is 2-3-2 not so good of a start but.... they are averaging 3 goals a game and also are allowing 4 goals per game ... hmmm . So 4.4 goals average and 3 goals average should break 6 so  Over here seem like a EZ lock, both main goalies are playing as well.

Prediction is over 6 goals for 1.67 pinnacle

Movistar Riders vs SAW

Movistars is back… but with a new member? This is an iconic match, two long time rivals will battle it out to finally decide WHO is the superior team.

With the absence of Sunpayus and now Deathzz replaced by Sausol, how will things turn out?

 

MOVISTAR RIDERS:

I mentioned this team before on their match against Eternal Fires.

On a bad streak, they keep on losing and losing and is now down to a 9% WIN RATE past 3 months. Sunpayus was their best player and awper, after he left, there was nobody that could fill his position as well as he did stopping pushes and getting kills.

This ended up in them losing to many A/B Tier teams. 
All in all, they are NOT a bad team… just very unfortunate with the opponents they are matched with.

With Martinez as their IGL and carry, there just isnt enough fire power for them to win. However, now with Sausol replacing Deathzz (good choice) things can turn out differently.

First match with Sausol. Hopefully they win!

 

SAW:

Ranking 33rd, SAW has been showing REALLY GOOD results lately. In their last 5 games, they took 4 wins only losing to 1WIN beating two strong teams like ENDPOINT and Fnatic rising.

With ewjerkz being their best playing rated at 1.10 KD and everyone else performing just averagely.

compared to Movistar, I wouldn’t be surprised if they won.

 

MY PREDICTION:

MOVISTAR TO WIN! Expect the unexpected.

In their last few matches, they were atleast able to hold their ground but always fell short getting only around 10-11 rounds in. There were many situations in which they could’ve won but lacked a strong awper/player besides Martinez to win it for them.

This match is VERY LIKELY to go over 2.5 maps since both teams will definitely get the chance to choose the map they’re best at so that is the safest bet.

My bet for this competition is that Movistar is going to win… have hope that with a good player like Sausol, they can finally start winning again.

=> total over 5.5 goals 1.507 odds

I think there will be a lot of goals here. Buffalo Sabres from the outsider of previous seasons shows at the start of the season not bad and effective hockey. 5th place in the East. Ahead of such clubs as the Rangers, Tampa, Washington, Toronto. Maybe it's a matter of time. But these clubs will certainly catch up, but whether they can stay at least in the middle of the table is a big question. In the meantime, they're going to Seattle. A great opportunity to replenish points. Last season, the Krakens beat the saber twice. 4-7 and 5-2. I don’t even know if they will be able to beat a third time. But I think the fight will be harshh. Seattle scores an average of 3 goals per match 21 over 7 games. Buffalo is even better, 22 in 5 games. That's 4 per game.
