Match Prediction: FURIA - Astralis | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Cologne 2022FURIA and Astralis will meet in the quarterfinals of the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022. I don't understand what happened to the Brazilian team in recent weeks, as they lost everything imaginable and unthinkable.
Against this background, the Danes, having a bunch of their problems, seem to me the favorites. And if Astralis plays on the opponent's mistakes, trying to catch him on aggression, then the team can cling to the result.
Nevertheless, from the last matches of FURIA, you don’t want to believe in the Brazilians at all, who either don’t want to or simply can’t.
FORM FURIA
The eighth team of the world ranking began to fail even within the Roobet Cup 2022, where, on the one hand, they closed the Outsiders without a chance, but, on the other hand, they lost to 9z twice and did not even make it to the playoffs.
Then the Brazilian team went to ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack, where they went even further without getting a single victory. And okay, Sprout can still be forgiven, but hardly anyone expected 0:2 from 00NATION.
As a result, we see a very dubious game from FURIA, which relies even more on early aggression, but at the same time stops shooting. Therefore, for me personally, the team is not a contender for the playoffs.
Latest FURIA results:
- Defeated by 9z with a score of 0:2.
- The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by 9z with a score of 1:2.
- Lost to Sprout with a score of 10:16.
- Defeated by 00NATION with a score of 0:2.
The best FURIA cards:
- Overpass - 75% of wins.
- Vertigo - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 57% of wins.
- Nuke - 50% win rate.
Let me remind you that the Brazilian team is refusing the Dust 2 map.
Astralis shape
The twelfth team of the world ranking reached the semi-finals of the last Roobet Cup 2022, losing in an equal fight to FaZe Clan. And yet, it makes little sense to talk about online, because all the shortcomings are masked there.
As for the start at IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, the Danish team failed here, as they managed to lose to 00NATION on the Mirage map.
Well, at least further Astralis managed to cope with Complexity and BIG, still making it to the group stage. I can’t say that the team plays confidently, but against the background of such Brazilians, they can still try.
Astralis latest results:
- Victory over forZe with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 1:2.
- Lost to 00NATION with a score of 6:16.

Best Astralis cards:

In turn, the Danish team is increasingly refusing the Vertigo card.

Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- FURIA's victory at IEM Katowice 2022 with a score of 2:0.

I note that in both cases the teams played on the Mirage map.
Prediction for the match FURIA — Astralis
To be honest, starting from the last month performed by FURIA, I don't want to talk about the chances of the Brazilian team at all. Of course, there is an option in which they were simply encrypted, but still the team played very poorly.
In turn, the Danish team did not get rid of their problems, playing on a whim and old tactics. And yet, experience gives Astralis some chances that the team uses from time to time.
Therefore, given the terrible results of the Brazilians, I would recommend forgetting about the statistics and betting on the victory of the Astralis team.
