DreamLeague S14 DPC betting picks & predictions – 26/1

After correctly predicting the outcome of the Team Liquid vs Nigma fixture on Saturday, our Dota 2 betting expert returns with another set of free tips and predictions. Today we take a look at two Dota 2 bouts taking place on Tuesday, January 26.

Team Liquid started their 2021 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) campaign with a 2-0 sweep of Vikin.gg and a 1-2 loss against Team Nigma on Saturday. Their next opponents, High Coast Esports (formerly Chicken Fighters and Ninjas in Pyjamas), enter this match with only a 1-2 loss to OG under their belt.

If we want to know how these two squads match up, we have to take a look at how Liquid did against Ninjas in Pyjamas from April to November. Out of four meetings, Liquid won only once (2-1) and suffered three defeats, two of which were clean sweeps.

Liquid have since improved, but we shouldn’t overlook the head-to-head record. High Coast Esports to cover the map line is a long shot, but it’s a good one at a solid price.

The reigning champions of The International, OG, will take on mudgolems on Tuesday having secured a narrow 2-1 victory in their opener against High Coast Esports on Saturday. Mudgolems have also played only one fixture so far and lost 1-2 against Team Secret.

OG enter this match as massive favourites, which is reasonable since they field one of the strongest rosters in the world. However, this is still one of their first fixtures after a month-long break, and they showed a bit of ring rust in their clash with High Coast.

Expecting mudgolems to win is a bit too optimistic, even though they stole one map off Team Secret. Regardless, mudgolems to win one map and cover the spread at -133.33 is a bet we are happy to take.
