The head-to-head record also leans TYLOO's way at 2-1, with their most recent meeting in April 2024 ending in a 2-0 TYLOO victory. Sharks' lone H2H win dates back to 2018.
The betting market agrees: TYLOO are priced at 1.49-1.51 (implied ~66% probability) versus Sharks at 2.42-2.43. Given TYLOO's superior player ratings, better recent form, and H2H advantage, we align with the market and back TYLOO to advance. This is a Bo3 where TYLOO's depth and consistency should prevail, though Sharks' upset of Heroic in Round 1 shows they can compete on any given day.
