Copenhagen Flames vs. Fiend Betting Preview

Both teams are playing well lately, and not only the bookmakers are undecided which one should be favorites here – I am too. That’s why I will not bet on the winner of this match, and I will go with Over 2.5 maps after the latest H2H encounter that produced a maximum of three maps. I cannot choose either of these two, so betting on Over 2.5 maps is something you should consider.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps
