forZe vs. Nemiga Betting Preview

forZe is a better-ranked team and favorite in this one, but the H2H record is on Nemiga’s side. That H2H record is the main reason I am not going to bet on the favorites here. forZe is in a better form and has a better chance to get a win here, but there is no way I am going to risk my money on them. Nemiga has the quality to take at least one map, and I am going with Over 2.5 maps. This game will not finish in straight maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+114 @GGBET)
