NHL

Buffalo VS Los Angeles - Both these teams have a scoring average over 3.2 goals per game and both also allow 3.33 goals in a game per average. LA's record at home is 15-9 and Buffalos away record is 15-7 so this game will be high scoring. The last match up 6-0 for buffalo but LA has got into a winning rhythm as they won their last game and buffalo lost their last 3 games. LA beat Pittsburgh 6-0 in LA's last game, buffalo lost to Calgary 7-2 in Buffalos last game and Calgary is playing bad.

Prediction is LA to win and over 5.5 for 2.55

While the Hawks have struggled away from home this season, it is also true that they have been a bit better in that area recently, winning 3 of their last 7 away games.

Being at home has not generated any advantage for the Hornets who are one of only two teams to have more wins away from home than at home this season, so this will be a very good opportunity for the Hawks to improve their away record.

Offensively the Hawks are a much more consistent team than the home team, with one of the best players in the league as Trae Young, who should have no problem hurting one of the worst defenses in the NBA and lead his team to another victory. 

I know it is not responsible to give predictions with the stats against, but I have seen Charlotte and Atlanta play and a win is very possible, so much so that my prediction against all odds is for Charlotte.

Prediction for match Into the Bin - Bluejays:
“Into the Bin” started the tournament with a game with “Permitta” in the 1/16 finals, where they were able to confidently beat the Poles with a score of 16:3 on the Mirage and 19:16 on the Vertigo. “Bluejays”, due to a successful performance in the previous season, start their way through the tournament from this stage.

The form of the British is not entirely clear. On the one hand, the organization kicked them, they got a couple of young players into their roster, but parted ways with the coach. We played all three matches and won only over “Permitta”, on the other hand, there are no less questions for the Macedonians. After a successful last season, 2023 began extremely sadly for the Eagles. But in this meeting, they must interrupt a series of unsuccessful games.

Statistical facts about the match Into the Bin - BLUEJAYS:
The Bluejays have won 3 of their last 10 games. "Into the Bin" have 1 successful result in the last 3 matches played in the updated roster.

The Champions League is back in the first match of the 1/8 finals the match between Milan and Tottenham. Both clubs are not in the best shape for this game. But I think the Tottenham have a better chance of success here. Milan have been really bad lately. Not so long ago, it seemed that they would impose Napoli's fight in Serie A. However, after the 2022 World Cup, the Milanese began to do very badly. The club won only two victories in two months. Basically, Milan lost and now in the Italian championship they are trying to get to at least the top 4. The team was even defeated by Sassuolo. In the Premier League, Tottenham have a similar situation as Milan in Serie A. Now the Spurs are fighting for getting into the European Cup zone. Not so long ago, the team fell out of the top 4.

In this match, I still prefer Tottenham still perform better, more often they achieve victories. Milan is weak and even at home is unlikely to be able to impose a fight.

My betting pick will be tottenham goals over 1.5 yes 2.88 odds.

TRICKED VS ILLUMINAR

as much as I hate calling games fixed, we’re now watching two of the biggest over round/map throwers in CS Tier 3 rn. I swear, they’ll lead 11-4 first half but flunk so hard the game goes over 25.5 rounds.

So don’t be surprised when one team starts pulling one hell of a comeback 😴

Currently Illuminar stands above Tricked, they are ranked higher and have a better track record the past month. In their last 5 matches, Illuminar managed to pull an impressive performance winning against Honoris and ungentium matches while losing Nexus, IKLA and Coalesces with a 1-2. They did their best but, cmon, these games are just getting ridiculous.

TRICKED has seriously fallen off but still, they somehow can get 1 map in most of the time. The player’s individual form is gradually getting WORSE every single game. Their positioning and everything they do has been questionable so their fans are no longer surprised when they fk up a lead. 
 

MY PREDICTION:

Over 2.5+ maps @ 2.04

Tricked has their moments but overall, will lose the game. Last H2H match some months ago indicate a very close game of 2-0 maps for Illuminar.

Illuminar will win 2-1.

If it was a good odds, that's why I think that if one hits one greater than 3 the luck factor is reduced and the analysis increases. So like 90% luck 10% analysis hahaha

Khimik Novopolotsk - Metallurg Zhlobin 

=> Metallurg Zhlobin win 1.775 odds.

After the international pause, Belarusian hockey returns again, Khimik Novopolosk will not get into the playoffs, but Zhlobin needs a victory, the line-up is good, there is even a player who played in the KHL and NHL Kostitsyn, ahead of the rivals are stronger and points they are very needed, they will play to win, this is clear, and Khimik makes many mistakes in the last matches. I believe on the experience and team of Metallurg, plus the motivation of the team.
