Fiend is a favorite in this Best of 3 encounter when they take on Lyngby Vikings in the Swiss round 2 (teams with a 0-1 record) of the LOOT.BET Season 9 on Friday. Both teams lost their opening matches at the tournament, so the losing side will have a mountain to climb to qualify for the playoffs.

Fiend vs. Lyngby Vikings Betting Preview

Whichever team loses this one, it will be in a hard position to make it to the playoffs, so I expect to see a big battle on Friday and a lengthy affair. Fiend is slightly better positioned in the CS:GO rankings, but it doesn’t mean anything in this game, and that’s why I am going with Over 2.5 maps. I’d suggest you avoid betting on the winner.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+111 @GGBET)
