Both teams are in an excellent form and it’s very hard to pick a winner here, so I suggest you to avoid betting on the winner. I am going with Over 2.5 maps because each of the four H2H duels produced a maximum of three maps, which is an extremely important fact for the bettors who prefer playing on totals.
