DreamLeague Season 14 DPC betting predictions – 30/01/2021

ESB’s Saturday betting tips for the DreamLeague Season 14 DPC EU Upper Division focus on two Dota 2 bouts featuring Vikin.gg, Team Secret, OG and Alliance. Here are our best bets for those games, with top odds from BetOnline.


Team Secret will chase their second win of the tournament this Saturday after a somewhat close 2-1 victory against Tundra Esports (previously mudgolems) last Tuesday. 

This will be Secret’s first meeting with Vikin.gg since November, when Melchior “Seleri” Hillenkamp and co. won 2-0. It marked Vikin.gg’s second head-to-head victory of 2020, having lost the remaining five 0-2.

Team Secret should win this match more times than not, but even with a map handicap, the Dota 2 betting odds are not big enough for us to take the bet. Vikin.gg are more than capable of stealing one map off the rusty Secret, and the price for the +1.5 handicap is too good to ignore.

Alliance enter this match off a 1-2 defeat against Team Nigma last Wednesday. Their next opponents, OG, have yet to lose a single match this tournament, although it’s hard to be overly excited about their narrow 2-1 victories against High Coast Esports and Tundra Esports.

There is no denying OG are a very strong team, but they are not as solid as they should be. OG have either lost the series or dropped a map in eight of their last nine outings, and since they have faced teams weaker than or equally as strong as Alliance, it’s fair to expect another close series.

Over 2.5 maps is an excellent bet in our book. There is also some value on Alliance to win at +169, which might appeal to some.
