BIG Academy and Apeks Rebels will play against each other in the second match of the fifth gaming day of WePlay Academy League Season 5. Spectators and betting experts are sure that BIG Academy is a clear favorite here and Apeks Rebels have no chance of winning. The bookmakers give a very low odds for a BIG Academy triumph, which equates to 1.08, which is equivalent to a ~87% chance of winning. I agree that BIG Academy will take out Apeks Rebels here, but I suggest taking a closer look at the game form in order to think about what alternative market would be best to bet here. Let's deal with this issue!

Apeks Rebels Game Uniform
Apeks Rebels have almost no chance of winning against BIG Academy. As you know, once a year the stick shoots, but I believe that this is not the case. The Norwegian team was ranked 180th in the top by HLTV and the team at the ongoing WePlay Academy League Season 5 really justify their status as an outsider, which began to happen almost from the very beginning.
Their debut match at the tournament took place against BIG Academy, where the team won only two rounds. In the following matches, Apeks Rebels played against Young Ninjas with a score of 9-16 and failed to win the match with ENCE Academy with a score of 6-16.

Head-to-head meetings between BIG Academy and Apeks Rebels
As was repeatedly mentioned above, the first match of the teams at WePlay Academy League Season 5 took place in this face-to-face confrontation. Apeks Rebels took only two rounds from the titans from Germany and I don't see any prerequisites for this trend to change.
Conclusion
Apeks Rebels is really a clear outsider in this meeting and I think that here you can safely bet on Handicap rounds and try to raise money. In this case, bookmakers offer two such options, if we do not consider markets with Total rounds on the map. On Handicap -7.5 rounds in favor of BIG Academy, bookmakers give odds of 1.87, and on Handicap -6.5 rounds - 1.65. In the first case, BIG Academy must close the meeting with a score of 16-8, and in the second - with a score of 16-9. Both of these options are very likely. If we consider options with total rounds, then there is a Total of 25.5 and 26.5 rounds. If BIG Academy closes the meeting with a result of 16-9, then this fits under Total under 25.5 cards and is rewarded with a coefficient of 1.72, and for 16-10 and Total under 26.5 bookmakers give odds of 1.52.
The best option for betting, I see a balanced market Total less than 25.5 rounds with odds of 1.72. Here the reward is good and the probability of passing is high. If the last time the team defeated opponents with a score of 16-2, then they are unlikely to lose 9 rounds and 8 too.
Final bet: Total under 25.5 rounds at odds of 1.72
