Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - Movistar Riders | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Cologne 2022FaZe Clan and Movistar Riders will fight for the right to get to the grand finals of IEM Cologne 2022. The Spaniards never cease to amaze, although in the last match they were literally broken on Inferno and gave them a reason to think about their game.
However, against this background, FaZe Clan looks too immaculate, as a result, hardly anyone will argue when choosing a favorite. Plus, you and I perfectly understand what kind of couple we want to see in the grand final of the championship.
FaZe Clan form
The second team in the world ranking did not show a championship game for too long, for which, in the end, they paid with the loss of their positions.
Nevertheless, within the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022, the team clearly returned to the peak of its capabilities, as it got three confident victories over 00NATION, Team Spirit and Astralis.
And yet, so far FaZe Clan has not reached the state that the team had in Belgium. Nevertheless, even with such baggage, RobbaN's wards are able to outplay the sensational Spaniards.

At the same time, the European team also refuses the Vertigo card.
Movistar Riders Uniform
The thirteenth team in the world ranking was a real eye-catcher at IEM Cologne 2022, as they not only made it to the playoffs from the Play-In stage, but also showed a very solid and structured game.
This is where victories over Vitality, G2 and other opponents came from, since the Spanish team perfectly combines aggression and tries to surprise with unexpected decisions.
So the day before, Movistar Riders managed to outplay Team Liquid, although after Inferno I personally stopped seeing the victory. In addition, the Spaniards have a fairly strong defense, which FaZe Clan has yet to test on themselves.

Prediction for FaZe Clan vs Movistar Riders match
Let's run through the statistics:
- The defense of the Spanish team, judging by the numbers, looks much more confident than FaZe Clan. At the same time, the Europeans are only third in this indicator of all the participants in the playoffs.
- In addition, Movistar Riders continues to improve their game in attack, significantly outperforming their opponent in terms of winning percentage for the T-side.
- At the same time, the Spaniards are noticeably ahead in terms of winback in 5 vs 4 and 4 vs 5 situations, as well as in terms of the amount of ADR dealt from grenades.
However, no statistics will help when we talk about FaZe Clan and the team's incredible luck. Still, experience is a serious matter, and in this component, RobbaN's wards are head and shoulders above their opponent.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team.
