?Like the latest Valorant esports betting odds suggest, there isn’t much to separate NRG and Knights, as they’re both in a tough spot after failing to deliver across the opening three rounds. NRG have yet to win a match (0-3), whereas Knights have picked up only one series (1-2).

Record-wise, NRG are in a worse spot, but that figure doesn’t tell the whole story. Had a few rounds gone their way, NRG could easily be 2-1 right now, with wins against Version1 and Sentinels. But we must also show some respect for Knights who showed up last week when they swept RISE 2-0.

This match can go either way, but we’re leaning more towards NRG. A small play on NRG to sweep Knights (+250) might be worth a shot, but we’re happy with the price we’re getting on the moneyline.

100 THIEVES vs XSET VALORANT BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

VCT Odds: 100T -120.48 at BetOnline | XSET -120.48 at BetOnline

100 Thieves were just a few rounds away from securing their first victory of the tournament on Sunday, but they ended up losing against Luminosity with 9-13, 13-9, 12-14. Still, the team played decent, considering this roster has been together for less than a week.

With a 1-2 record, XSET should feel calm, knowing that their only two defeats so far came against Cloud9 (1-2) and The Guard (1-2) – two of the strongest teams in the league. Now XSET need just one more game to lock a playoffs spot, and we can be sure they’ll look to seal the deal on Saturday.

100 Thieves have enough talent to be competitive, but they’ll likely need a bit more time to form a strong synergy. XSET have looked better so far, and we have no reason to doubt them.
