Match Prediction: Newbee - OG Dota2 | Dota 2
Epicenter XLOG got in Group B with such teams as paiN Gaming, Virtus.pro, Natus Vincere, Newbee and Team Secret. At the moment, the European team holds the first place with a statistic 3-0, having six won maps and one lost map on its score.
Newbee’s position is way worse than their opponents one. The Chinese placed fifth with a statistic 1-3. They managed to win four maps and lost on seven maps.
Newbee has a big motivation to win the upcoming match. If they beat OG with a score 2-0 and Natus Vincere loses with a score 0-2 in the match against paiN Gaming, Newbee will have a chance to advance to the playoffs.
OG also has some kind of motivation to prevail in the upcoming match. Despite they are on the top of Group B, there is a possibility to step down to the second place or even to the third place. If OG loses and Virtus.pro and Team Secret that hold the second and the third place, respectively, beat their opponents, OG will start its participation in the playoff stage not in an upper bracket but in a lower one. To remain a potential participant in the upper bracket, it is enough for OG to win one map, at least.
OG was defeated in a row of LAN championships, in which they took part. However, OG showed a great performance in the latest qualification to ESL One Birmingham 2018 and held the first place, having guaranteed themselves a trip to England. At EPICENTER XL, OG also proved that they are ready to compete with world-class teams. The result that consists of three victories and six won maps, when only one was lost, is very good.
Newbee, in turn, was also playing not very good during the last LAN championships. And their statistic 1-3 together with four won maps and seven lost ones reflects that the team is in a bad gaming shape and their chances to make a comeback are low enough in this championships.
At bookmaker companies, average odds in the favor of the potential winner OG amount ~1,60 and odds in the favor of Newbee are in the sum of ~1,80. The only reason, why the difference between odds in the favor one or another team is small enough, is that Newbee has managed to beat Natus Vincere in the today’s match. Despite this, we prefer to agree with the majority of viewers, who think that it’s worth to bet on OG in this case.
OG’s chances to prevail over Newbee are good enough and odds in the favor of the Europeans with the rate in the sum of ~1,60 worth betting in this match. We recommend you to bet 3-5% of a sum of your general bank in the favor of OG. As it was said above, OG’s chances to win are good and a profit in the case of their victory will amount 160% of a sum of the bet, which is the too good rate to ignore.
