ESB’s League of Legends betting tips for Wednesday focus on two bouts in Week 9 of the LoL Pro League (LPL) Spring 2021 split. Here are our best bets and top odds for LGD Gaming vs Oh My God and Victory Five vs Top Esports.


LGD GAMING vs OH MY GOD LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

LoL Betting Odds: LGD -113.64 at BetOnline | OMG -117.65 at BetOnline
When: March 17, 2021 at 17:00 CST

LGD Gaming enter this match off a shock 2-1 victory against RareAtom on Monday, yet their chances of entering the LPL Spring 2021 playoffs remain slim to none. Their next opponents, Oh My God, are already eliminated from the playoff race, and it would be hard to argue they deserve to be placed higher than where they are.

OMG have managed only two wins in 13 games and hold a -15 map differential (8-23), which is good for 14th-place on the ladder. They looked decent last week when they forced Team WE to three maps (1-2), but outside of that, they have not shown anything worth mentioning.

While we don’t believe LGD are as strong as their fluke win against RareAtom might suggest, they are still playing cleaner LoL than OMG. At these odds, siding with LGD is a no-brainer.

VICTORY FIVE vs TOP ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

LoL Betting Odds: V5 +605 at BetOnline | TES -1250 at BetOnline

It is very difficult to find a reason to bet on Victory Five for this match. Even though the underdog odds at online bookmakers are very appealing, siding against Top Esports in the form they are in now would be like throwing money out of the window.

Since Top are not immune to dropping maps against weaker opponents, we will look beyond the map handicap in this contest. V5 to secure at least 7.5 kills is paying -129.87, which seems very generous considering they have averaged 9.5 kills in their losses and at least 8.0 kills in all but two of their last six maps.

What’s more, V5 boast the highest drake (57.4%) and Baron control (67.5%) percentages in the league, so there is some value in backing them to secure the first drake as well. The first Baron bet might seem appealing, but we predict V5 will fall too far behind before the 20-minute mark to be able to contest it.
