AGO vs. Movistar Riders Betting Preview

Although I am leaning toward Movistar Riders in this one, I am not sure they will come up with a victory. If you prefer betting on the winner, go with Movistar Riders, but if you prefer betting on totals, my advice would be Over 2.5 maps. The Polish team didn’t have problems beating Movistar Riders almost two months ago, but I don’t think that’s going to be the case here. Still, I expect to see a big battle and a maximum of three maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+106 @GGBET)
