ESports Betting Tips: Tuesday, September 28th
Anonymo Esports vs Team LDLC
ESEA Season 38: Premier Division – Europe
Anonymo Esports will face off against Team LDLC in the seventh week of ESEA Season 38: Premier Division – Europe. Having never met before, this promises to be an exciting match; however, the bookmakers seem to be favouring LDLC more.
I don’t believe the offered odds are fair since LDLC aren’t much that stronger. While they have won more games at the tournament (4-1) than Anonymo (3-3), that doesn’t mean much, as there is no real quality difference between the two rosters.
It’s also worth mentioning that Team LDLC are already qualified for the second stage, so they might not care too much about this game. Meanwhile, Anonymo need to win since they are in a three-way tie with Wisla Krakow and Endpoint, and only three points clear of the bottom three teams in SKADE, Movistar Riders, and Team GamerLegion.
Obviously, Anonymo will be more motivated to show up, but that’s not the only thing that makes me lean more towards the Polish squad. Despite the roster changes that happened in August, Anonymo have been playing well recently and are 4-2 across the last week.
Their only two losses happened against AGO and SKADE, but they have reached double digits against AGO and nearly won a map against SKADE (14-16 on Inferno).Team LDLC have managed the same 4-2 record with losses against Young Ninjas (1-2) and 00Nation 0-2) and wins against Endpoint (2-1), Wisla Krakow (2-1), and Team GamerLegion (2-0).
Both teams are in decent shape, so I expect a close match. But since LDLC don’t need to win, while Anyonmo do, I have to favour the Poles.

Sprout vs ENTERPRISE esports
ESEA Season 38: Premier Division – Europe
ENTERPRISE esports are expected to struggle on Tuesday when they clash with Sprout, and I must agree with that. This is not a very good team, and there is nothing positive we can take from watching them play.
You don’t have to take my word for it and look at ENTERPRISE esports’ record, which shows 2-1-3 in their last five. If we look further back, ENTERPRISE have managed seven wins from 11 fixtures (7-1-3), but most of those victories happened against teams you have never heard of before.
On paper, ENTERPRISE look somewhat decent, but if we want a clearer picture of how good ENTERPRISE are when faced with teams of similar quality to Sprout, we have to look at their run at the ESEA Premier. Here, they are 1-5 with a -46 map difference.
Their only win of the tournament came during the opening week when ENTERPRISE swept Apeks. They have since lost to Akuma (1-2), Double Poney (0-2), SAW (1-2), Sangal Esports (0-2), and BLINK (0-2).
Sprout are not a team you would expect to see at some bigger CS:GO competitions, but they’re still strong candidates to win this league. The German squad are 4-2 after six rounds of play, with losses against Sangal (0-2) and Double Poney (1-2).
Regardless of those losses, Sprout have been in great form. They have won six of their last seven games (6-1) and are clearly a much better team than ENTERPRISE.
Close games at this level of play are fairly common, but I don’t see how ENTERPRISE can come even close to winning one map. The odds on Sprout to win 2-0 are good enough!
Sangal Esports vs Apeks
ESEA Season 38: Premier Division – Europe
It’s hard to like Apeks, who sit at the bottom of the standings in Group A of ESEA Season 38: Premier Division – Europe with a 1-5 record. And it’s even more difficult to be bullish on them for this match, seeing how they will have to face Sangal Esports.
Apeks have not achieved a lot this term and are in terrible shape. Since the start of September, they’ve played 13 games and won only four. It’s also important to note that Apeks haven’t played a single match in five days.
Sangal Esports have achieved just as little as Apeks in 2021, but they’re still a team that deserves respect. They have had a poor streak from the end of August to early September (0-4) but have since bounced back and won four straights.
That run includes wins against Sprout (2-0), Akuma (2-0), ENTERPRISE (2-0), and SAW (2-0). Their most impressive match out of the four was against SAW, who they beat on Friday with 16-8 on Dust 2 and 16-6 on Vertigo.
Sangal are a team that can choke and lose against weaker teams, but I can’t have much faith in Apeks with the form they’ve been showing. A bet on Sangal with a -1.5 map handicap is an option, but I’ll take the Turks to start the series strong and win the first map with three rounds to spare.
