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 eMonkeyz in the last round. The roster was formed a few months ago (DEC 2020), so that is the main reason for their slow start of the season.

UCAM Esports Club Stats and Latest Results

UCAM Esports Club is currently the fourth seeding team of the league but they have the same record as Cream Real Betis, Movistar Riders, and Vodafone Giants (9W/7L). Their roster is brand new, formed in January this year, and the contract of the players ends up in November. They are mostly Platinum and Diamond tier Spanish players.

They have three wins in the last five games. A perfect record was ruined four rounds ago, against Team Queso. After that, they won over Cream Real Betis and MAD Lions Madrid and lost to Vodafone Giants which surprised everyone. With those wins, they displayed their skills in the late game and showed that they are not that far away from the playoffs. Their best advantage is their early game when they establish their supremacy against opponents, but this time it was different.

Movistar Riders vs. UCAM Esports Club Betting Preview

There is no noticeable difference between these two teams if you compare their stats. Their approach to the game is quite different and that is a crucial thing in the battles of the two teams. UCAM starts to be aggressive from minute one while Movistar Riders focus on reducing the mistakes and giving the free kills. They are pretty much even when you compare their individual quality so predicting the winner is difficult. According to their current form, and the odds, UCAM has bigger chances but I won’t agree with that. I think that the patience and careful game style of the Movistar Riders will bring them another victory.
