This is a spectacular weekend and a great way to make a swift transition from Euro 2024 qualifiers to exciting matches in the Champions League and Europa League scheduled for next week. Football fans will be delighted to see that some of the biggest European derbies are scheduled on Saturday, involving some of the top teams on the continent. This is also a promising weekend for tennis fans and an outstanding opportunity to bet on the best League of Legends teams, as the World Championship has begun. Bet on all these matches at 1xBet and bet365 and enjoy competitive odds pregame and live.
Two Local Derbies Ignite the English Premier League
Chelsea and Arsenal are at opposite ends of form, but both have high expectations for this match. The home pitch advantage goes to Chelsea, but this doesn’t mean a great deal with 1xBet who offers odds of 23/10 on the house and 13/10 on the visitors. The Gunners have won the last four games and a lot of goals were scored over the span, something that we also expect from this fixture.
Liverpool and Everton have a similar contest in their town and not surprisingly, the Reds are the overwhelming favorites. The same bookmaker offers odds of 7/20 on them to prevail, while those who bet on the underdogs enjoy the odds of 7/1. The two teams are scheduled to meet at noon, so take advantage of the high odds and bet pregame, but don’t forget about the live wagering opportunities.
Torino and Istanbul Turn into Volcanos on Saturday
Inter Milan comes to town as Torino tries to avoid another home defeat, in a match that is pivotal for the Serie A championship race. The visitors are entitled to be optimistic and as the odds of 3/4 offered by bet365 sports indicate, they should walk away with a win. They were defeated just once in the last 10 head-to-head games and walked away with all three points on eight occasions. and Besiktas have one of the most heated rivalries in Turkey and they meet on Saturday in the derby of Istanbul. The hosts have greatly strengthened their starting formation during the season break and that’s why they are credited with the first chance at odds of 13/20. Besiktas is known for coming out firing on all cylinders, so the odds of 4/1 are surely tempting to punters who don’t mind taking chances.
Local Rivalries Flare up at League of Legends Worlds
T1 and GenG are the top South Korean teams and they confirm their status by crushing opponents in the first match of the Swiss stage. Now they lock horns in the most exciting game of Day 2 and 1xBet offers surprisingly uneven odds at 3/5, respectively 3/2. KT and Damwon were less fortunate in the opening match and are in desperate need of a victory in the second South Korean therapy. In this match, KT has a clear edge, as reflected by the odds of 3/5, as opposed to 3/2 for the former world champions.
JDG and Bilibili Gaming were two of the favorites to win the League of Legends Worlds, a conviction boosted by the first-round win. Now they face each other and despite the lopsided odds of 2/5 and 2/1, we like JDG due to their victories in all the last eight games. The derby of desperation, BDS vs MAD is a highly anticipated match for European LoL fans. Team BDS is the underdog but with victories in three of the last four games, we like the odds of 6/5 better than the 7/10 for the MAD Lions.
