Predictions

With so many talented players involved in the BOV ePremier League Playoffs, it’s very hard to predict just one victor. We know that Santa Lucia’s Christian Spiteri has been the most dominant so far, but players like Gianluca “Turbuleense” Sant and Shaun “Brandsha” Galea have also improved their game. Hibernians’ Dustan Vella has also impressed everyone, as he claimed #1 in his group, beating both Valletta and Gzira United. 

We know that it’s going to be a clash of titans, so be sure to tune in and watch some of the action. As always, we’ll be covering the tournament on our website, so follow our socials to get notified on when we do!
