Liga Portugal, WTA Toronto and LPL Esports Games Steal the Show This Week

Major football leagues are slowly coming back, with this weekend marking the return of Liga Portugal. Tennis season is in full swing, with the WTA and ATP finals scheduled in Toronto, just weeks before the US Open. Finally, the LPL is inching closer to the playoffs, bringing esports enthusiasts unique opportunities to bet on the top Chinese teams. All these games have extensive pre-match and live coverage at bet365 Sport, Stake, 1xbet, and 22bet.

Porto and Benfica Seek Three Points on the Road

Porto is facing Rio Ave on the road, a team that has given them few headaches over the last few years. The reigning champions are confident they can outplay this stingy opponent, as the hosts are more concerned about defending. Porto has no players missing, and since the odds of an outright victory are so low, it is worth backing them to lead at halftime and win the match at 2.10 with Stake.

Benfica is expected to cruise to an away win against Casa Pia and extend its winning streak against an opponent with poor defensive skills. Recent results have seen the team from Lisbon scoring plenty of goals, but the most recent match was a huge disappointment in front of the fans. We trust them to make up for the woeful 2-2 draw and recommend an HT/FT 2/2 bet at odds of 1.70 with bet365 Sport.

ATP and WTA Toronto Crowns its Winners on Friday

Ben Shelton has returned to his winning ways and made it to the finals of ATP Toronto without dropping a set. He will face Brandon Nakashima in the final act of the competition, an opponent he has defeated in all five games so far. The risk-averse players should settle for an outright victory at odds of 1.50 with 1xbet, but it's worth considering a 2-0 win bet at odds of 2.20.

Swiatek and Rybakina have met more than a dozen times, and the Polish player has an advantage. Recent games were far closer, and both players have struggled to win matches in clean sets, and we expect another drawn-out fight tonight. Instead of picking winners, punters would have more to gain by betting on over 2.5 sets to be played. This outcome is priced at 2.20 by 22bet, which is terrific value.

LPL Giants Lock Horns in Esports Blockbusters

Invictus Gaming and Weibo used to compete at the highest level, and their games were the highlight of the week in the LPL. Esports fans have good reasons to rejoice, as these former Chinese superstar teams are back in form. The Shy has returned for Invictus, and he is bringing back memories of the golden days. We trust him to lead his team to victory and capitalize on the odds of 1.60 at Stake.

JD Gaming is riding a four-game winning streak and has pushed Anyone's Legend to a decisive game in recent meetings. The Taiwanese players recently acquired are firing on all cylinders and should perform well against a team struggling to win 2-0 series. We believe this will be a highly contested series that will go the distance and over 2.5 maps, making odds of 1.90 a good choice.
