Vitality vs. FaZe Betting Preview
Betting on Vitality is understandable considering their recent form, but FaZe are a tough team to defeat, and they already beat Vitality this year. That’s why I am not brave enough to bet on the winner of this match. Instead, I expect to see a lot of fight from both teams and I wouldn’t be surprised if we have overtime or even two here. I am going with Over 2.5 Maps, which occurred in two of their three H2H meetings.
