Last Weeks Highlights 🏆

Bet of the Week 📝

• Arsenal lead 1–0 from the first leg courtesy of Havertz’s stoppage-time winner and now welcome Sporting to the Emirates, where they’ve been near-impenetrable in Europe this season. Expect Arteta’s side to see this one out comfortably on home soil.
• Aston Villa were ruthless in Bologna, winning 3–1 with a Watkins brace and an Ezri Konsa goal. The second leg at Villa Park should be a formality — Emery knows how to manage European ties and Bologna need three unanswered goals to turn this around.
• Nongshim RedForce started the LCK season 2–0 and despite dropping a series to KT Rolster in week two, they’ve shown enough quality to handle a KRX side that only just picked up their first win of the split.
• The MongolZ have looked like the most dangerous team at PGL Bucharest, and their 2–1 takedown of PARIVISION showed they can grind out close series. FUT had a great group stage but haven’t been tested at this level in a Bo3 playoff setting.
