Despite their recent struggles and underwhelming performances across all game modes, namely Hardpoint, the top CoD betting sites have Los Angeles Thieves priced as favourites to defeat Boston Breach. There are reasons to believe Boston Breach can push them to their limits.
Boston Breach have a much deeper map pool on Hardpoint, and they are pretty effective on Red Card (66.7% win rate), which is LA Thieves’ best map. Search & Destroy looks like a coin flip as neither team has a deep map pool, and you can give LA Thieves a slight edge on Control.
If we go off statistics alone, Los Angeles Thieves are the better team, but only marginally. And considering how shaky they’ve looked recently, this match is closer to a coin flip than what the odds suggest.

Atlanta FaZe will face off against Cloud9 New York for the first time in the 2025 CDL season in what should be a very straightforward match.
Cloud9 have not been playing well and do not seem to excel in anything. They are decent, but nothing more than that—and that will not be enough to derail the surging FaZe.
With the players on this roster, some improvement is to be expected. But ahead of this match, it is hard to make a case for Cloud9 New York as a serious threat for FaZe, who should not be dropping more than one map.

Toronto Ultra have a perfect record in CDL 2025 Stage 1 Major Qualifiers, with a +10 map differential. OpTic Texas are close behind, with a 5-1 series record and +8 differential.
Besides posting similar results, the two teams also have similar map pools. OpTic are slightly better than Ultra on Hardpoint with an 11-5 record to Ultra’s 8-5, whereas Tobias “CleanX” Jønsson and co. have a better win rate on Search & Destroy (81.2%) than OpTic Texas (57.1%).
While Toronto Ultra should win Search & Destroy, they are unlikely to take Control off OpTic unless we see Protocol. As a better team on respawns, OpTic are deserving favourites, but there is a good chance this goes to game five, in which case Ultra should close it out.
