Prediction on match CS2 Movistar Riders - Sprout

Movistar Riders and Sprout will meet in the quarterfinals of the upper bracket of the ESL Challenger League Season 41: Europe. Something I'm not at all sure about the Spanish team, which has been missing an adequate attack for a month now. Moreover, Movistar Riders plays on an equal footing with TYLOO, which should generally be tied up with analysis.

In turn, Sprout is experiencing its own problems, as the team simply cannot cling to its game and has been losing to everyone lately. But against the background of the same Spaniards, the wards of BERRY look more interesting, especially if we proceed from the reverse to the smaller.

Movistar Riders Uniform

The 18th team of the world ranking visited IEM Dallas 2022 at the end of last month. Well, as it was, the Spaniards simply came to the championship and lost two matches already on the first day. Moreover, the team hardly unpacked their suitcases, since a bad game has been dragging on for Movistar Riders for more than a month.

Then the team went to the Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022, where they almost lost to TYLOO. It is clear that the team then lost to MOUZ, once again showing a "cool" attack. As a result, the Spaniards continue to attend tournaments, but fly out of them in the forefront.

Movistar Riders latest results:

• Defeat from Finest with a score of 1:2.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 5:16.
• Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 0:2.

The best maps of Movistar Riders:

• Mirage - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

At the same time, the Spanish team has long abandoned the Dust 2 map.

Sprout form

The 32nd team of the world ranking failed in the group stage of REPUBLEAGUE Season 3, where they lost both meetings. Then the team went to the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference, where they also showed something incomprehensible.

It seems to me that Sprout fell into a hole, because the team used to play much more confidently. I do not want to believe that the team will continue in the same spirit, because the composition is really good.

Latest Sprout results:

• Victory over Finest with a score of 2:0.

Match statistics Movistar Riders — Sprout

During the last season, the teams held two meetings:

• Sprout's victory in Pinnacle Fall Series 1 with a score of 2:0.
• Sprout's victory in ESEA Premier Season 39 Europe with a score of 2:1.

I note that in both cases the teams played on the Vertigo map.

Prediction for the match Movistar Riders — Sprout

I have a feeling that we will see a typical ESEA championship in which teams try to break through the total. However, after watching the Spaniards attack in recent weeks, I just don't want to bet in their favor.

Well, Movistar Riders plays too slowly and unprincipled. Yes, Sprout has its own problems, but the team feels much more confident online. And there, the Spaniards have another championship in parallel, where they also have to receive a hat.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Sprout team.
