Esports betting sites have Ninjas in Pyjamas priced as 1.40 favourites to defeat LGD Gaming, who enter the match as 2.75 underdogs. The offered price might sound fair considering LGD Gaming have yet to win a game, but have NiP really shown enough to be viewed as such favourites?

Head to Head

Ninjas in Pyjamas and LGD Gaming have yet to meet with their current lineups.

Ninjas in Pyjamas Form

Ninjas in Pyjamas are enjoying a solid start to LPL 2023 Summer. They kicked off the split with a rough loss against EDward Gaming (0-2) but quickly got back on their feet with a dominant showing against Invictus Gaming, who NiP bested 2-0 on Saturday.

But as good as NiP looked against IG this weekend, it's worth mentioning that Invictus Gaming severely underperformed, which makes Ninjas in Pyjamas look better than they actually are. That's not to say that I believe NiP are a weak team, but I also wouldn't praise them too much for what they've shown so far.

LGD Gaming Form

LGD Gaming have yet to win a game this split and enter this match with two defeats to their name. They first got swept by Invictus Gaming (0-2) in the second round of Week 1 and then lost against ThunderTalk Gaming (1-2).

The game against ThunderTalk was very competitive, which is a good sign, and knowing that ThunderTalk are good enough to compete for a playoff spot this season, it's tough to criticise LGD too much. Admittedly, LGD Gaming could've shown a bit more in their recent outings, and it would help make a case for them, but I've yet to lose hope in this team.

LGD Gaming have made several roster changes ahead of the LPL 2023 Summer, which might explain their lack of success in the first couple of games. And even though we don't know when LGD Gaming will find traction, they're capable of more than what they've shown.

Verdict

Ninjas in Pyjamas v LGD Gaming

The esports betting odds show Ninjas in Pyjamas as heavy favourites to defeat LGD Gaming, which might sound fair, but at 1.40, NiP are a bit overrated. They've looked better than LGD, but that's only because they won against Invictus Gaming, who played terribly on Saturday, which made NiP look stronger than they are.

Talent-wise, Ninjas in Pyjamas aren't that much stronger than LGD Gaming, and the only thing going for them is the momentum they've gained over the first week. So while NiP are likely victors, the value is with LGD Gaming to secure their first win of the season.
