Having kick-started last December, there has already been plenty of drama in this season's Call of Duty League with three Majors down and another just over the horizon.

New York Subliners, Atlanta FaZe and Toronto Ultra have already put themselves in strong positions by claiming Major titles and Major Four is soon to begin with qualifying well underway.

We are into the second week of the Major Four qualifiers and there are three more matches to look forward to on Sunday.

Las Vegas Legion are fancied to overpower LA Guerrillas in the first contest, before a strong Toronto Ultra side aims to justify favouritism against Florida Mutineers in the second match.

And the day concludes with a more evenly contested affair between LA Thieves and OpTic Texas.

There is just one week of qualifying remaining after Sunday's matches, so the need for points is intensifying as teams look to secure the best seed for themselves in the Major Four main event.

Legion and Guerrillas to push each other close

Neither Las Vegas Legion nor LA Guerrillas have enjoyed particularly memorable Call of Duty League campaigns so far this year, with both sides outside the top eight of the overall 2023 regular-season standings but one is fancied over the other in their meeting on Sunday.

In the qualifying campaign for Major Three, there was little between the sides with both posting 2-3 win-loss records from their five matches.

But Las Vegas Legion have looked a touch better than their opponents in Major Four qualifying so far, picking up a 3-1 win over Boston Breach in their opener.

That was followed by a defeat of the same scoreline against London Royal Ravens but they are still in a stronger position than the LA Guerrillas, who are 0-2 as it stands, although their matches were against tough LA Thieves and Minnesota ROKKR outfits.

All things considered, there is not as much between these sides as the prices suggest so a better bet could be over 4.5 maps at +162.

Easy win expected for Toronto Ultra

Only Atlanta FaZe (235) have collected more points than Toronto Ultra (215) in this year's Call of Duty League and the Canadian powerhouses are expected to rip through Florida Mutineers on Sunday.

Ultra are the most recent Major winners on the CDL circuit, having won Major Three following a 4-2 success over OpTic Texas in the final.

They have won 19 of their 29 matches in the Call of Duty League this season and should be considered serious contenders for the Call of Duty League Championship title this year.

It is no surprise they are expected to come out on top in this one given the Mutineers sit 11th out of 12 in the regular-season standings and are already 0-3 in qualifying for Major Four.

An Ultra win looks highly likely, but to squeeze more value out of the match punters should back Toronto Ultra to come out on top 3-0 at +162.

OpTic Texas can build on Major Three success

The final match of the day in Sunday's Major Four qualifiers pits the top two in the standings against one another.

In Major Four qualifying, Los Angeles Thieves are out in front, having posted a 3-0 win-loss record so far but OpTic Texas are hot on their heels with a 2-0 record.

OpTix Texas dismantled London Royal Ravens 3-0 and New York Subliners 3-1 and are a team in high spirits right now after having reached the final of Major Three last month.

LA Thieves, meanwhile, crashed out in the second round of the losers' bracket in that Major so overall form is on the side of OpTic Texas, who look a solid enough bet at -138 to win this match.
