Gen.G vs. Triumph Betting Preview With Prediction and Pick – ESL One Road to Rio, NA, April 24th

I must admit that I expected to see both Gen.G and Triumph losing in the first round. Instead, the teams surprised me and started their run in Group A of ESL One Road to Rio with a victory. As a result, whoever wins today will be in a commanding position to progress to the next stage.

I share my prediction in this Gen.G vs. Triumph betting preview, alongside the latest odds and my analysis of both sides. In the end, you can find my recommended betting pick for the match.

If you like the Gen.G vs. Triumph odds above, you can find them at BetOnline. The bookmaker views Gen.G as the overwhelming favorite in this match and that’s natural after the performance in the first round of the ESL One Road to Rio.

I believe that Gen.G had a slump during Flashpoint Season 1, but it seems like the guys are back to their best for the ESL One Road to Rio. The opening match against 100 Thieves was excellent and ended with a dominant victory.

Every aspect of Gen.G’s performance was flawless, including the map selection, the strategy, and the execution. That’s the squad that won DreamHack Open Anaheim and the rest of the field should be worried.

The start of 2020 saw plenty of changes in the Triumph roster and the team struggled to stay consistent. Most of the successful moments came in low-tier competitions and against opponents that were hardly impressive.

That’s why I had low expectations for the opening match against Cloud9 but Triumph surprised me. The side battled hard to win the match by 2-1 and showed it won’t be the punching bag of Group A. The problem is that the next opponent is much stronger.

You probably know what my prediction is by this point. Gen.G looked too strong in the opening match and I expect more of the same here. I believe we will see a clean sweep today and the price of -135 for the favorite to cover the -1.5 map advantage is an excellent pick.
