The first Cup final of the domestic season takes place tomorrow at Wembley and it see's Man Utd who are in good form at the minute play Newcastle Utd who are on a bit of a slide down the premier league table atm. I am pretty sure we will see a Man Utd victory here and get to see Ten Haag lift his first trophy at Utd. It almost seems to be written in the stars, the bookies have given a pretty good price too and I think this is a really good bet to get on! I can see this game being a quite a high scoring game and if Utd turn up with the right attitude, their big name players will prove the difference. I think the score will be maybe 3 or 4 nil Man utd, so my prediction is Man Utd win @2.20 on Bet 365, this is a very good price in its self so get on this one.

Responsible approach of Porto to the current rally of Primeira Liga allowed them to win 16 wins with 2 losses and 3 draws, therefore the fact that after 21 matches they are now among the leaders of the championship, few can really surprise. Their high position is also explained by the statistics of goals: 2.3 and 0.6, that is how much they score and concede on average per game. In home (away) matches they are most dangerous from the 31-45 minute, during this period they scored 10 goals, but in the same second from the 76-90 minute of the game, there are obvious problems in the defense of their goal, because they conceded 15 goals. Obviously, having such statistics it is worth expecting a beautiful and entertaining game from the team.

Gil Vicente occupy the 14 line in the table with the 23 scored points after the 21. Good performance - 1 goals per match and reliable defense - 1.3 goals per match allowed them to get 6 wins, 5 ended in a draw and lost 10 matches. Plus, their attack is especially dangerous from 76-90 minute of the match. During this segment they have scored 9 goals. The club has more than enough reasons for optimism before the upcoming match.

 My bet: Only one team to score and Porto to take the win with 2.030 odds

XFL - start time 12 am CET Feb 26th

D.C. Defenders VS Vegas Vipers

In their first ever XFL game both these teams did well, D.C scored 22 points and allowed 18 points for a win making them 1-0. Vegas scored 20 points and allowed 22 points losing their first match making them 0-1. So with both teams defense allowing points and both offences scoring points this game will be over. Vegas came back from behind their first to make it close and D.C almost lost their lead as well so I feel the defenses on both sides are week or need work and its only game 2.

Prediction is over 35 for 1.98

After a few turbulent weeks, the Celtics seem to have returned to the level that has taken them to the top of the East and has them as owners of the best record in the NBA, since they have won seven of their last eight games, in which offensively they have become almost unstoppable again.

 

In fact, the Celtics are fourth best in the league offensively with an average of 117.9 points scored per game and 47.5% shooting from the field. However, that does not mean they have neglected their defensive duties, as they are the seventh most effective in the NBA in that aspect with an average of 111.7 points allowed per game.

 

Now being the home team, the 76ers will have the mission to avenge the two losses suffered at the hands of the Celtics in their first two meetings of the season, with the last of them coming earlier this month by a score of 99-106.

For their part, the 76ers entered the All-Star Game break with four wins in a row, and six in their last eight games, which has taken them to third place in the Eastern Conference, just 3.0 games away from the top, so they know that winning this game will be essential if they want to seriously fight for that place.

 

Being at home could significantly help the 76ers to accomplish that mission, given that they have a solid record of 23 wins and 8 losses at home, and have posted excellent numbers in that condition, with their defense showing great qualities by averaging 109.9 points against and their offense being much more productive with a total of 115.9 points scored per game.

 

Without a doubt they are my favorites in this conference, it's hard for me to pick one. That's why we'll bet on the number of points to be over 225 at odds 1.8.

 

Good luck to all.

Rebecca Peterson looks much better than an American on the pitch. And even much better. Especially striking are the indicators on the second serve, where the average 38% in the face of Caty Macnally is a very weak indicator for a semi-finalist. And even despite the fact that the American McNally very well accepts and too coolly implements the submissions of her opponents, the overall indicator is still on the side of the Swedish rebeca So, we are watching an attack in the face of Peterson against the defense of McNally.
I will bet on the attack and even Rebecca Paterson is on 5 match win streak.

My betting pick will be Rebecca Peterson win 2.09.

1. I don't think there will be many goals here. Both teams play well defensively. And in personal matches, the teams almost always dry the game.

2. Of the last 10 games, 8 games have been under 4.5. The two leaders of the western conference would not be surprised if they get up a draw 2-2.

3. I think there will be a playoff-type game, with an emphasis on defense. Most likely, the teams will share points and the winner will be decided in extra time.

4. Head to head Dalas Stars are ahead. 

Bet: Under 5 goals

Odd: 2.94

IHC Esports - fnatic

I'm not sure that the Mongolian team has options to turn around, since fnatic skates well on all the main IHC maps. On the plus side, we see a clear difference in class, which put the Mongols in their place twice in games against Outsiders and MIBR.

Yes, now fnatic is not showing the most confident game, but at a distance the team has not yet failed so much as not to believe in the guys against the backdrop of the Mongolian team.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the fnatic team with a score of 2: 0. Since the odds of -1.5 handicap are more acceptable, but according to the rules it is impossible to bet on it, so let's take under 2.5 maps.

good luck everyone!

500 vs MOUZ NXT

Fell asleep and forgot to do a prediction 🙂 i need to stop being so biased. Heet screwed my prediction up and EG threw hard 3rd map.

Budapest 5:

Ranking 110th, this team is really… not bad. They have shown great results recently defeating Tier 3 teams like Bluejays, INVSN and Apeks. But that wasn’t without the many losses they took before although they DID secure 1 map. Really impressive from a unknown Tier 4 team.

Team is in great form.

 

KATUNA:

Ranking 125th, KATUNA has shown the same good results. Defeating some tier 3 teams and even winning 1 map for BO3. However for this game, they have a stand-in ‘mar’ instead of their top core player SPELLAN

 

MY PREDICTION:

Budapest 5 wins @ 1.625

Both teams seem to be doing fine but Katuna will have to work with a substitute lowering their odds of winning. They are lower ranked and on paper - weaker than Budapest so this should be a quick 2-0 unless Katuna surprises us bringing it to 2-1 for Budapest. Odds right now are great for B5 since bookies haven’t changed odds after the sudden roster change.

Till full time it was 4 goals and in penalty shootouts the result came. 

Risky win ❤‍🔥
