Nemiga vs. HellRaisers, Preview & Prediction - Free 10/14 CS:GO

Nemiga is a favorite to open the IEM New York 2020 CIS group stage with three points when they take on HellRaisers, but the dogs will certainly have an opportunity to cause them problems here. This Best of 3 encounter will be played on Wednesday, and HellRaisers are still looking to record the first-ever win over Nemiga.

Nemiga vs. HellRaisers Betting Preview

Nemiga is a favorite here, but I wouldn’t bet on the winner because HellRaisers have been playing well recently, and maybe it’s time for them to finally record the first-ever win over Nemiga. Although I am not backing HellRaisers to win, I think they are good enough to get at least a map, something they failed to do in the past meetings with Nemiga. That’s why my safe bet is HellRaisers to cover +1.5 handicap, while you can also try with Over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: HellRaisers +1.5 (-217 @GG.BET)
