Prediction on match CS2 sAw - FunPlus Phoenix

sAw Will win

SAW and FunPlus Phoenix will meet in the semifinals of Snow Sweet Snow 1, vying for a place in the main championship match. Interestingly, both teams have come a short way in the tournament. However, this does not negate the fact that the Portuguese can take advantage of this opportunity and please their fans.

SAW shape

The 28th team in the world ranking not so long ago managed to reach the playoffs of the European Development Championship 2, despite being defeated by Young Ninjas (17:19). Victories over TPT (2: 0) and Young Ninjas (2: 1) allowed the team to reach the quarterfinals of the championship, waiting for their opponent. As for Snow Sweet Snow 1, here the Portuguese confidently beat ENCE (2: 0), dispelling all doubts.

Best SAW cards :

Dust 2 - 70% wins.
Nuke - 67% wins.
Inferno - 64% wins.

We can say that these three cards suit both teams. It is possible that these cards will be in the pool of the upcoming meeting.

FunPlus Phoenix Shape

The 17th team in the world rankings finished second in the recent DreamHack Open January 2021 Europe, losing to Team Spirit in the grand final (0: 3). However, in the quarterfinals of Snow Sweet Snow 1, the team managed to beat forZe (2: 1), reaching the next round of the tournament.

Best FunPlus Phoenix cards:

Nuke - 78% wins.
Train - 62% wins.

Despite the fact that the team can play on any map, the performance on these very maps leaves much to be desired.

Personal meetings statistics

During the last season, the teams had two meetings:

SAW's victory in qualifying for FLASHPOINT 2 with a score of 2: 1.
GODSENT's victory at DreamHack Open Fall 2020 with a score of 2: 0.

But a lot has changed since then, for example, the lineup of GODSENT, namely FunPlus Phoenix.

Prediction for the match SAW - FunPlus Phoenix

I do not change my traditions in terms of underestimating FunPlus Phoenix. I still don't see the core in the team, thanks to which one can win the championships. The Portuguese, on the other hand, have been visiting promising ones for a long time, and right now the team looks very interesting. Therefore, I propose to take a risk and bet on the victory of the SAW team with the odds of 2.74.
