Budapest Five vs. Lilmix Betting Preview

Both teams are playing relatively well lately and it’s going to be hard to predict a winner in this one. Each side will be looking to secure a playoff spot on Sunday and not in round 5, so I expect to see a lot of action and a bunch of rounds. Odds on Budapest Five and Lilmix to win are lower than on Over 2.5 maps and considering that I cannot opt for either, I am going with Over 2.5 maps at attractive odds.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+106 @GG.BET)
