Copenhagen Flames vs. Movistar Riders Betting Preview

That Movistar Riders’ H2H win didn’t come easy, though, as they won 16-14 on both Overpass and Nuke. I expect to see another tight affair on Friday; but this time around, I am backing Copenhagen Flames to take at least a map. That’s why I am not going to bet on the winner and I am going with Over 2.5 Maps instead.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+108 @GGBET)
