Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - FURIA | CS2 (CS:GO)

Virtus.pro and FURIA will compete for a place in the playoffs of IEM Katowice 2021. I believe that VP will not experience any problems, being in excellent spirits after a brilliant victory over Vitality. At the same time, the game of the Brazilians still remains without a clear structure, despite the presence of a newcomer in the squad.

Virtus.pro kits

The fifth team in the world rankings surprised everyone back in January by winning cs_summit 7. After that the team gave up a little, having made several defeats. However, already in the course of IEM Katowice 2021, the team was able to wake up, starting to tear. At the same time, we are not just talking about the result, but about the structure of the game, which VP has at an exorbitant level.

Recent results of the team:

• Defeat to NIP with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Renegades with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Natus Vincere with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over NiP with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 0.

Best Virtus.pro cards:

• Inferno - 77% wins.
• Dust 2 - 73% wins.
• Vertigo - 71% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 64% wins.
• Train - 60% wins.

At the same time, the team has not played Nuke for a long time. Nevertheless, possessing such statistics, Virtus.pro is simply obliged to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.

FURIA Form

The 11th team in the world ranking is more like a roller coaster, albeit with a Brazilian accent. FURIA really claims to make it to the playoffs of the prestigious championship. However, in terms of play, the Brazilians are far behind their opponents. Moreover, the team's game is focused on aggression, which, with proper control, is a disadvantage.

Recent results of the team:

• Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over NiP with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Natus Vincere with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 1.

Best FURIA cards:

• Train - 100% wins.
• Inferno - 56% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

However, the Brazilians have a lot of problems with other cards. In addition, the team hasn't played Dust 2 for a long time. However, against the background of the opponent, such statistics looks extremely weak.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams had one meeting - at cs_summit 7, Virtus.pro won (2: 0).

Prediction for the match Virtus.pro - FURIA

There can be no other result in this match but VP's victory. First of all, the team has already gone over the heads of NiP and Vitality, which is a consequence of the excellent game form. Secondly, the psychological advantage is clearly not on the side of the Brazilians, who could not oppose VP with anything a month ago. Thirdly, FURIA's game is more focused on surprise, which is very skillfully declared by the opponent. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of Virtus.pro team with odds of 1.60.
