In one of the quarterfinals, teams such as Davenport University and BHOP will face each other. This duel is of interest to us, since it is not so easy to determine the favorite in it. Experts from bookmakers are more inclined to believe that players from BHOP will prevail in the fight, and the probability of their victory is 62%. Accordingly, the coefficient for the victory of the favorites is 1.50. I propose to analyze in detail the game form of the participants in the upcoming meeting and understand how it will be correct to place a bet here.
Davenport University uniform
The roster of Davenport University is almost unknown to me, and esportsmen are on the 157th place in the list of the best CS:GO teams in the world according to HLTV. The team took part in only two confrontations in the last month. In one of them they won, but in the last match they won. It is worth noting that in the last fight they won with great difficulty and with a score of 16-14 in the fight against the Northern Forces, which are in 163rd place in the top from HLTV. Therefore, this team is much weaker than the one against which Davenport University will have to fight in the next match. Only this fact already makes us think that their fight against BHOP will be extremely difficult.
Brazen, in the match with which Davenport University lost, are almost at the same playing level as BHOP, which reinforces the confidence in the defeat of Davenport University in the upcoming match.
There is also a weakness in the map pool of DU players. The only place where they can show good results is the Nuke map. There they have a win rate of 100% at 5 plays, but on all other maps the word "bad" would be a big understatement. On Inferno, with 9 maps played, the team has 55.6%, on Overpass and Vertigo, with 8 and 7 times played, the percentage of victory is 37.5% and 28.6%, but on Dust 2, Mirage and Ancient, the players have 0 %.
On which map will Davenport University be able to put up a good fight in this Bo1 showdown? That's right - on Nuke. Which BHOP card is most likely to get banned? The answer is the same - Nuke. Conclusions are self-evident

BHOP Game Uniform
The Canadian-American roster is now in 118th place in the list of the best CS:GO rosters according to HLTV. Recently, the team pleases its fans with successful performances more and more often. In addition, the roster took part in official matches several times in August and already managed to play three times in September.
Over the past month, the team failed to win matches against Detonate and Evil Geniuses, which is not surprising, because the latter are a team of a completely different level. At the same time, the roster won against Detonate, Infinity, Vendetta and Victorium.
Map selection is a strong point for the BHOP team. So far, the team hasn’t suffered a single defeat on Vertigo, although they performed only a couple of times - the win rate there is 100%. BHOP has the most productive performances with a large number of maps played on the Inferno map - the percentage of wins is 71.4%. On Nuke and Mirage, the team has lower numbers, namely 66.7% and 50% with 3 and 4 maps played, respectively.
The Achilles' heel of BHOP players is Overpass and Ancient, where the win rate is 40% and 0% with 5 and 1 cards played, respectively.

Conclusion
The fact that Davenport University played only 2 times in the last month and lost in the fight against a team that is much weaker than BHOP, and hardly won the match with a similar opponent suggests the following conclusion: Davenport University has very few chances. In addition, I believe that the probability of winning BHOP is higher than what experts from bookmakers believe, and the odds should be lower.
The odds for winning BHOP is 1.50, and if we consider the option with an additional market, then everything is also interesting here. Handicap -3.5 rounds in favor of BHOP is 1.92. To qualify for this market, BHOP must win by a score of 16-12 or by a wide margin in the rounds. Considering the mappool factor and Davenport University's playing form, BHOP should close this match as expected.
Final bet: Handicap -3.5 cards in favor of BHOP with odds of 1.92
