AGF vs. Apeks Betting Preview

I am not sure why Apeks is a favorite in this encounter. They are lower in the CS:GO rankings, in a worse form than AGF, while they are playing with a new lineup. Unless the bookmakers know something we don’t, I am pretty sure AGF has a strong chance to get a win here. Still, I am going with a safer option and I’ll back AGF to cover the +1.5 spread and win at least a map on Tuesday.

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