Sprout vs. SKADE Betting Preview

SKADE is one of the most impressive teams in 2021, and I don’t think Sprout is good enough to snap their 18-game winning streak. The competition is stiff in this qualifications stage, but I believe SKADE has the quality to book one of five places for the Flashpoint 3, so I am backing them to defeat Sprout and advance to the next round.
