Sinners vs. Sangal Betting Preview
Even five of Sangal’s last six games produced a maximum of three maps, and considering the form of these respective teams, I expect no less than three maps on Sunday. Sinners perhaps have a better team and I think they will get an edge here, but there is no way I am backing a winner in this one. Betting on Over 2.5 maps has sense, given the attractive odds, so I am backing Over instead of betting on the winner.
The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+106 @GG.BET)
