This match doesn’t mean much, as neither team will be competing for an upper seed for the CDL Stage 4 Major. As a meaningless match between two of the worst teams in the league, we don’t expect any spectacular plays, while the player’s morale and motivation are also somewhat questionable.
If we had to pick a side, it would be the Royal Ravens, even though they’re priced as the underdogs. Although they were equally as unsuccessful as the Guerrillas on paper, the British-American squad are playing much better of late.
You could also argue that the London Royal Ravens field more talent on the team even though that rarely shows in-game. We expect a 3-1 victory for Sean “Seany” O’Connor and his crew on Saturday.

MINNESOTA R?KKR vs ATLANTA FAZE CDL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

Atlanta FaZe hold a perfect 4-0 record and 12-1 map differential, which guarantees them an upper seed for the CDL Stage 4 Major. Minnesota R?KKR are tied with Chicago OpTic in second with a 2-1 record, meaning that they can still drop out of the top three, however, it’s unlikely that they will finish inside the bottom two.
Minnesota R?KKR haven’t looked too great this stage, but they’re at least consistent against weaker sides. The R?KKR might be a decent team, but they’re still a class below the in-form Atlanta FaZe.
FaZe have proven time and time again that they’re the best team in the league, and it’s hard to argue against that. They have reached the finals of every Major of the CoD: Black Ops Cold War season and have yet to show any signs of weakness.

DALLAS EMPIRE vs FLORIDA MUTINEERS |

| CDL Odds: | Empire +102 at BetOnline | Mutineers -138.89 at BetOnline |

This is a crucial fixture that could impact the final Group B seeding for the Major. Florida Mutineers sit in second with a 3-1 record, however, they’re only one win clear of Dallas Empire in fourth (2-2) with only one more match left to be played.
Dallas Empire enter this fixture off a 2-3 loss against New York Subliners, where they looked good and should have probably won the series. The Mutineers’ only loss of the stage came against the Subliners (2-3) in another tight affair that could have ended either way.
It’s hard to set these two teams apart if we look solely at the results they’ve put up, but the eye test confirms that Florida Mutineers are the better team. Travis “Neptune” McCloud has been playing lights-out of late and is a big reason why the Mutineers are so difficult to stop. If he can step up here, Florida shouldn’t struggle too much.
We predict a 3-1 victory for Neptune and his crew, although you can’t go wrong with betting on Florida Mutineers at $1.72.
