May 13 brings us another tier-1 CS day. PGL Astana 2025 promises viewers some thrilling matches. We've selected five of the most intriguing predictions based on team form, map pool, and current analytics.

NIP to win against HOTU (1.42)

NIP have been performing very well in this tournament, and even against Spirit and Aurora, they were close to victory. HOTU, being the underdog, are also playing well and might win a map in a better situation. However, there's little doubt about NIP's victory, though the odds aren't great, making it a perfect choice for a parlay.

FURIA vs. ODDIK total maps over 2.5 (2.20)

Both teams are roughly equal, but FURIA is slightly stronger. The score is likely to be 2:1 in their favor, but ODDIK should comfortably take a map. They're solid and play confidently, so expect a close match.

BIG vs. G2 total maps over 2.5 (1.85)

In this match, BIG are the favorites, but don't underestimate G2. Yes, they're with a coach and lack stars, but they can win games and maps. G2 have taken at least one map in every match of this tournament, which they should do in this match as well. 

Astralis to win against Virtus.Pro (1.92)

As strange as it may sound now, Astralis are indeed playing well, while Virtus.Pro are performing poorly. This is very evident in this tournament, and the odds for Astralis are quite appealing, making it worth taking advantage of.

NAVI vs. Aurora total maps over 2.5 (1.88)

In this tournament, NAVI are truly impressive, seemingly benefiting from their training, and w0nderful is starting to hit form. Conversely, Aurora are winning and performing well, but occasionally can underperform. Betting on 3 maps is a solid choice, and the odds confirm it.

Remember to bet responsibly: wagers should be reasoned, not emotional. And remember: the winner isn't the one who knows all the odds, but the one who can interpret them correctly.
