Bukovel Minor group betting predictions

A total of eight teams will be participating in the Dota 2 WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020. Among them are Gambit Esports, Team Spirit, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Royal Never Give Up, Geek Fam, Nigma, FURIA Esports, and Fighting Pandas. All of the mentioned teams will be split between groups A and B.

Group A tips

Group A will start with Ninjas in Pyjamas facing against Geek Fam while in the second Group A match, Team Spirit will be butting heads with the Royal Never Give Up team. The winners of both matches will face each other a day later while those who lose will be doing the same.

Group A tips and betting predictions: Group A looks significantly weaker than Group B, but we think there is still some good betting opportunities to be found. Royal Never Give Up is paying 2.10 to win the Group, but it’s the slightly longer Ninjas in Pajamas that we are predicting can win this group.

Group B predictions

Group B matches will feature Fighting Pandas going up against team Nigma as well as Gambit Esports duking it out with FURIA Esports. The winners of both matches will be facing each other a day later while those who lose the first match will face against each other in the same manner as in Group A.

Group B predictions and betting tips: We reckon there is nothing surer then Group B producing the winner of this Dota 2 Minor, with both Nigma and Gambit eSports featuring. We’re predicting the Pool match between Nigma and Gambit will be a highlight, and could foretell the ultimate winner of the tournament. While the winner of the tournament to come from Group B is only paying $1.25, we think this is making bank and can be a great leg in multibets.
