Movistar Riders Stats and Latest Results
Movistar Ridersare one of the leading esports clubs in Spain. In 2018, the organization was rumored to be joining theEU LCSas part of the 2019 European franchise program.It was later reported that, after failed negotiations with Riot Games, they were not selected as a permanent partner.
After a moody start, they have managed to find the connection between players and won three consecutive games before a loss to Vodafone Giants in the last round. The roster is formed a few months ago (DEC 2020), so that is the main reason for their slow start of the season.
BCN Squad Stats and Latest Results
They are a brand new team, a year old (1/14/2020). Their roster is formed by European players, and four of seven are from Spain. BCN stands for Barcelona, a city where the team is formed.
From the start of the season, they have a negative record (6/8). The roster is full of Diamond and Platinum tier players, but not flexible to change the champion easily or pick a counterpick on purpose. The banned heroes are playing a big role in the BCN Squad. After two wins in a row, they have lost to G2 Arctic in the last round. It was a 35min long battle, where BCN gave all their strength but they were overplayed.

Movistar Riders vs. BCN Squad Betting Previews
Even though BCN Squad is an underdog in this tilt, I wouldn’t call them that way. In my opinion, the chances for both teams are even. Their game style is pretty much the same, but the Riders have slightly better players when we talk about individual quality. The only stats that are on the side of the Riders is their pushing skills because they got their first tower in 42.9% while BCN Squad does it in 35.7%. Who got the advantage in the first 15 mins will win the game.
The Pick: Winner 1 (-200 @GGBet)
Alternative Pick: First Blood 2 (+119 @GGBet)
