Envy vs. Bad News Bears Odds, Prediction, and Pick for May 3rd – ESL One Road to Rio, NA

Group A of the ESL One Road to Rio, North America ended with a bang yesterday and it’s time for Group B to follow on Sunday. FURIA is through to the next stage, whatever happens, while Yeah has no chance of progressing. The other teams still don’t know their fate.

One of the squads that are in a good spot is Envy. A win today against Bad News Bears will be enough in most scenarios. However, the opponent also has a shot at progressing, so it’s going to be a tricky fixture.

Envy lost the opening round of the ESL One Road to Rio against FURIA but worked hard to turns it around. The impressive victories over Yeah and Team Liquid showed that the squad is here to fight and despite the narrow defeat against MIBR in the fourth round, Envy is in a good position.

A victory today should be enough for the team to qualify for the next stage. Considering the performance so far, I’m sure that the guys will be confident in their success. They have been winning a lot of opening duels and executing well for most of the tournament.

I like Bad News Bears and the team has been entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, the results have been poor so far and BNB has only one victory over the other underdog Yeah. This puts the squad in a close to impossible position, but there’s a way to progress to the playoffs.

A win today, accompanied by defeats of Liquid and MIBR might open the door to Bad News Bears. That’s a highly unlikely scenario, but I’m sure that the team will push as hard as it can.

I don’t think it will be easy, but my prediction is that Envy will win this one. The team has been better than Bad News Bears so far and will be focused on going to the next stage. The price of -156 or so offered by most of the best esports betting sites is more than enough for me.
