Copenhagen Flames vs. Izako Boars Betting Preview

Considering how these teams are playing lately, I cannot dare to bet on the winner in this one. Given the high stakes of this game and the fact that the only H2H tilt produced a maximum of three maps, I am going with Over 2.5 maps. The losing team will be eliminated, so I am pretty sure both sides will give their all to stay alive in the playoff race. Expect a lengthy affair.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+109 @GGBET)
