Sangal vs. Endpoint Betting Preview

I am aware that the bookmakers are giving a favorite tag to Endpoint in this game, but I cannot ignore the fact that Sangal is playing interesting matches lately that often produce a maximum of three maps. Even six of Sangal’s last six games produced three maps, and backing Over 2.5 maps has a much bigger value than backing Endpoint to get a win. After all, their only previous H2H encounter produced a maximum of three maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+119 @GG.BET)
