NFL _ start the 7pm CET Dec 17th

Indianapolis VS Minnesota 

Observation- Minnesota has a home record of 6-1 and Indianapolis has a 2-4-1 away record. Minnesota is 1st place in there division with a 10-3 record . While Indianapolis shows somewhat good defence there record tells the story here. There last matchup was 28-11 for Indianapolis but that was 2020 and Minnesota has improved considerable in those 2 years and Indianapolis got worse.

Prediction is Minnesota win for 1.51 pinnacle

TeamOne vs ATK

After both teams lost in the Upper Bracket playoffs for the ESL Challenger League Season 43 NA tournament, two long time rivals meet up again in the finals of the losers bracket!

So far into the tournament, the forms of both teams have been really good but both were dropped by MIBR. They played a good game but fell short when it came to the late game once the immense pressure got to them.

As far as H2H matches go, ATK has the advantage of having 8 wins compared to TeamOne's 6. In their most recent match 2 weeks ago, ATK dominated TeamOne on Mirage BO1 getting a 16-4. That is just MIRAGE so we can't just dust off TeamOne just yet!

Individuals from TO have all been making impact especially malbsMd and have a KD above 1. All in the positives. Compared to ATK, they usually only have 2 dedicated fraggers which can be a problem when those two can't perform at their best.

MY PREDICTION:

ATK to win @ 1.840

Despite the major change in TO recently, I would bet on ATK. So far it seems like ATK's team play, coordination and repositioning has been close to flawless. They played really well against MIBR and managed to claim 1 map against such a tough team. If all members step up together, TO will get stomped again like how they lost 3 times in a row to ATK...

=> Melbourne City win 2.14 odds.
Australian Championship. A-league.
Melbourne City  vs Melbourne Victory 
Melbourne City prefer in this match Melbourne City, leading the table with 16 points in matches. Melbourne Victory scored only 10 points in 7 matches, the team is adding, but still Melbourne City looks stronger in this pair, in the last match Melbourne City beat Melbourne Victory away with a score of 0:2 at home Melbourne City has two wins and one draw with Phoenix . Melbourne Victory away lost only to Adelaide. Melbourne City, the champions last season, finished second and are in contention for the championship this season.

The Croats started the match with the Argentines according to the 4-1-2-3 scheme, but quickly moved to 4-4-2, and then to 5-4-1 altogether. The emphasis was again placed on controlling the ball in his own half of the field, more precisely, near his penalty area. As a result, the team gave out a good percentage of possession time in the first half (61), but it didn't solve anything in this match. In the first half hour of the game there was complete isolation on both sides, but everything was changed by a sharp attack by Alvarez, who earned a penalty. It was the eleven–meter shot that knocked Croatia out of the rut - we had to open up, go ahead and take risks. As a result, another missed ball after five minutes. Dalic's proteges failed to create dangerous moments and naturally lost with a score of 0:3.

The Moroccan national team approached the confrontation with serious problems in defense against the French: Agerd did not get into the application, and Sess and Mazraoui appeared on the field with microtraumas, but did not play in the second half. The Moroccans started with a 5-4-1 scheme, although before that there was always the same 4-1-4-1 scheme. Probably, the instability of the defenders and the not fully debugged scheme led to a quick goal – the French scored already in the 5th minute. However, the missed goal also played a positive role – Regraga's wards began to attack and forced the defending champion to defend. It should be noted that the Moroccans gave out an unusual percentage of possession time for them – as much as 61%.

 My bet: Under 2 goals with 2.830 odds

The Croatian national team looked pale in the match with the Argentina and showed practically nothing in terms of attack, which resulted in a natural defeat. Most likely, this may be due to the general fatigue of the players, many of whom are veterans of the team. However, the Croats will definitely compete for bronze medals and try to finish the World Cup on a positive note. As for Morocco, the national team has already achieved heroic success in this level of competition. Any result in the match for third place will be, by and large, positive for the Moroccans. However, the Africans are clearly not going to give bronze to the Croats, given their good football against France in the semi-finals, where the team was simply unlucky in the final phase.

In my opinion, in this match, the favorite, after all, are the Croats. Yes, Morocco looks very nice in terms of the quality of the game and deserves all the praise.

My betting pick will be Croatia win 2.34 odds.

1. Deinze is in eighth position with 21 points. The team performs much better at home stadium, as they scored 15 times at home against five away goals. Nevertheless, even such low indicators in the attack did not prevent them from taking eight points on a foreign field.

2. Last time, it was not possible to win Lommel (0:1).

3. Beerschot are striving for promotion to the Belgian elite division, having already earned 35 points this season and placed first. Yes, the team has already managed to concede 11 goals on the road, but it has an average of two goals scored per game.

4. The victory over the youth League Standard (1:0) was the fifth in a row.

Bet: Beerschot win

Odd: 2.02odds.

Was a very tight match between the two, just 1 round off in the final map for overtime but ATK was so unfortunate in their timings. Rip prediction
