AGO vs. Izako Boars Betting Preview
AGO’s current form is not convincing, and I’d suggest you avoid betting on the winner here unless you’re going to bet on the underdogs. Betting on Izako Boars has sense after everything we saw in the past few weeks, but this time around, I am not going to bet on the winner. It’s interesting that the two teams from the same country never faced before, so we cannot speak about the H2H record. However, I am going with Over 2.5 maps as I expect to see a close encounter.
