Sinners are in excellent form at the moment and they will be looking to get the seventh consecutive win when they meet VP.Prodigy on Saturday. They were flawless in the league stage of the Vulkan Fight Series 2020, where they secured three victories and secured the playoffs. The Czech side beat Lilmix, Lyngby Vikings, Nexus, Project X, Dignitas, and HellRaisers to book their place in the Grand Final. Sinners won 12 of the previous 16 matches.

Sinners vs. VP.Prodigy Betting Preview

Sinners are red-hot right now and I don’t think VP.Prodigy has enough quality and experience to go toe-to-toe with the Czech team. Even though Sinners will play two games on Saturday, as they have to face Gambit in the Grand Final of the Vulkan Fight Series 2020, I don’t think they will have problems to get a comfortable victory here. Backing them to get a straight win is out of the question due to low odds, so I am going with Sinners to cover a -1.5 handicap.

The Pick: Sinners -1.5 (-167 @GG.BET)
