NHL

Chicago VS Ottawa 

Ottawa is on a 2 game winning streak and at home. The last match between the 2 was 6-3 for Chicago but Chicago was at home and playing decent. Now Ottawa is starting to play well and their new goalie is actually good beating NY Islanders and Calgary whom are good teams. Like the last game it should be high scoring and Ottawa's home record of  15-12 and Chicago's away record of 6-16 I feel save with the win and over bet here.

Ottawa to win and over 5.5 for 2.300 Pinnacle

After drawing against one of the worst European teams in the first division, Inter will have a new opportunity to try to put pressure on Napoli, as the southern Italian team has 59 points, while the Milanese team is second with 44 points, nothing suggests a fight for the scudetto, however, they will want to give them a scare.

Udinese, on the other hand, is in a simplistic eighth position, without having the option of fighting for anything, neither for the qualification to the European places, where they are 9 units behind Lazio, nor for the second half of the season for Udinese, where they are 13 units ahead of Hellas Verona, so this second half of the season will be a mere formality.

So we will bet on Inter's victory, but to make it more interesting we will also bet on the number of goals.

Inter wins more than 2.5 goals in the match.

Kwangdong Freecs and BRION have already met in this tournament. Then all 3 games were played in the match, but in fact, the match could have ended dry in favor of the Brion. All the winning maps were one-shot, but the second BRION lost due to one bad teamfight towards the end of the game, ultimately failing to hold back the opponent in their own half of the base. Even with this outcome, by the end of the map they were losing only 3000 gold. The match is expected to be equal on the one hand, and objectively unpredictable on the other hand. It is worth considering the fact that BRION have not seen a victory for 4 matches in a row, and Freecs, although they improved the results, did not fundamentally change the gameplay. If we add to all this the fact that the teams have already met together, I think to play the BRION victory here again.
My bet pick will be on Brion for a odds of 1.900

=> total over 5 goals 1.8 odds.

Minsk Dynamo returns to the home ice and for the third time in the regular season will host Torpedo. The team returned from the road to the Urals and Siberia with nothing, and Barys won in Kazakhstan. All matches are super-effective. There were no less than six goals. And at the moment Minsk team is closing the eight.
Torpedo for a couple of matches on the road, getting two victories at home. Also in scoring shootouts there were meetings in Nizhny,  Spartak and  Siberia, and managed to miss the victory in regular time, leading 4 - 1 after two periods. Dynamo continues to fight for the playoffs, there is a small gap from them. Torpedo also wants a higher place and the advantage of its ice in the Gagarin Cup. The teams will play the sixth match between them and taking into account the performance, I will assume that there will be at least five goals.

Premier League Saturday 18th Feb 2023 and a few games to chose from, not really worth mentioning about how hard this league is to predict but things are starting to merge in to their traditional patterns. The match I am going for is Everton V's Leeds and this game is going to be a massive battle these teams are 17th and 18th in the table and a win for Everton will see them leap frog Leeds out of the relegation zone. So a lot is riding on this match, a win for Leeds will see them move 4 points clear or their rivals. Going to be a lot of nerves with so much at stake but I think Everton will win, I really can't see them going down this year and will be surprised if they do. My prediction is Everton win @2.40 on Bet365

1. Back with tennis matches; Struff met with Tomas Mahach in the quarterfinals and defeated him a confident victory in two sets (6-4, 6-3). In a match against Polish tennis player Jan-Lennard Struff performed six aces, made two double mistakes and converted five break points out of six.

2. Earlier, in the tournament grid, Struff defeated Andrei Chepelev (6-2, 6-2) and Christopher O'Connell (6-1, 7-6). It should be noted that this will be the second semi-final for the German tennis player this season  earlier he reached this stage of the tournament on the challenger in Canberra.

3. Tanashi Kokkinakis beat his opponent Alexei Popyrin in the quarterfinals. Tanashi defeated him in two sets (6-3, 7-6). During the game, the Australian performed five aces, did not make a single double mistake and realized only one break point out of ten.

4. Earlier, on the tournament grid, Kokkinakis defeated Yankee Erel (7-5, 6-1) and Alexander Muller (6-4, 4-6, 6-4). This will be the second semi-final for Tanasi this season. Earlier, he managed to get to this stage of the tournament at the competitions in Adelaide.

Bet: Total over 22.5 games

Odd: 1.819 odds

VOYVODA - iNation
Here, the VOYVODA team seems to have a higher advantage over iNation, as they deserved all the last 5 matches out of 5, and they beat the almost wealthy team MOUZ NXT, or rather, their academic staff mainly consists of non-main roster. iNation, on the other hand, plays 3 out of 5 matches and plays almost no-name teams in two of them, such as Monte and Apeks, although Apeks actually plays twice as much compared to Monte. We will follow the development of events and believe that at the end a fairly new team VOYVODA will be able to take this match and everything will end with two maps. I'm betting on VOYVODA to win odds 2.17.

Nottingham Forest is successfully spending the season and can definitely count on a residence permit in the elite. Today, the Foresters have the 14th place in the standings and 24 points in the asset, and the gap from the relegation zone is two wins. True, Cooper's protege has enough offensive players capable of creating dangerous moments on a regular basis, plus the implementation is lame. It should be noted that the club has one of the worst indicators for goals scored – only 17 goals with 37 conceded.

Manchester City has temporarily taken over the leadership in the championship. The “citizens" have 51 points in their assets (the same as Arsenal) and a good goal difference (+36), although they played one more match. In the last round, Guardiola's wards beat Arsenal with a big score 3:1. The heroes of the confrontation were De Bruyne, Holand and Grealish - the players simply tore apart the opponent's defense. Recall that Haaland has the first line in the rating of scorers – 26 goals and four assists.

 My bet: Man.City to win and total goals over 2.5 with 2.050 odds
