CDL 2021 Stage 3 betting predictions – Friday, April 23

Esportbet brings you free Call of Duty betting tips for Friday’s CoD League (CDL) Stage 3 bouts. Here are our best bets for Los Angeles Thieves vs Seattle Surge and OpTic Chicago vs London Royal Ravens, with top odds courtesy of BetOnline.


Los Angeles Thieves have been an enigma since they entered the Call of Duty League, and they continue to surprise us with both good and bad performances. They’re technically the sixth-best team in the league with 110 CDL points, but they’re more than capable of losing to anyone.

The Seattle Surge are 11th in the regular-season standings, which hardly shows how good this team can be. While they did not impress during the Stage 2 Major, Seattle looked quite solid in their 1-3 loss to OpTic Chicago.

The Surge have the talent, but they don’t seem to know how to use it properly. Thieves, on the other hand, seem stronger on paper, but they’re inconsistent. This one is tough to call, but we don’t expect a one-sided affair.


It’s extremely hard to trust the London Royal Ravens. Back in March they won their first two games of the season against the LA Guerrillas (3-0) and LA Thieves (3-1), and they even took down the Paris Legion (3-0) in the first round of the Stage 2 Major, but the Brits then suffered a 2-3 reverse-sweep to Thieves.

A while back it seemed like London were finding some heat, but they soon cooled down. However, you can’t really expect a team that continues to swap out players to look good.

OpTic Chicago have had their fair share of iffy showings this season, but this is still a top-four team. OpTic should be winning games like this with ease, and until we see some sort of stability from the Royal Ravens, we will continue to believe that London can lose to anyone.
