Nordavind vs. Hard Legion H2H Record

Nordavind vs. Hard Legion Betting Preview
Nordavind are in a slightly better form right now, but that doesn’t have to mean anything as they already lost to Hard Legion a few weeks ago. The Russians are playing maximum maps frequently, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we have another tight match that could easily go to the wire. That’s why I am going with Over 2.5 Maps.
