forZe vs. Endpoint Betting Preview
Considering the H2H record, I will not go back to the favorites in this one, and I am going with Over 25.5 rounds instead. It’s the Best of 1 matchup and I expect both rivals to enter it quite seriously, so I don’t think we will have a big round margin, whoever turns out to be victorious. The latest H2H duel produced 27 rounds, and I think we will have a minimum of 26 on Thursday.
