Budapest Five vs. SG.pro Betting Preview

I am not impressed with the way these teams are playing recently and that’s why I am not sure which one to back in this one. For that reason, I’d avoid betting on the winner and I am going with Over 2.5 maps instead. SG.pro hasn’t played a game in the last ten days, so we can assume they will be a bit rusty. If you prefer betting on the winner, you should go with Budapest Five, but I am backing Over 2.5 maps at higher odds.

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