Match Prediction: G2 Esports - Vitality | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023G2 and Vitality will meet in the second semi-final of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023. I don't know how crucial this match is, but in my mind the Danish-French team remains the clear favourite.
In general, so far G2 leaves the impression that where it's thin, it will sooner or later tear. That's how you can describe the victory over Imperial Esports, because in that fight Samurai "played with a sense of permissiveness, almost losing to the Brazilians.
Of course, against this backdrop Vitality at all Ledgeila Imperial Esports, but then the team was able to return a little bit, in addition, extracted a good victory over FaZe Clan the day before.
In general, I do not have a lot of confidence on G2, as the team has not impressed for a long time on the stage. So here I would lean on the Vitality team to win.
G2 form
The fifth team in the world ranking frankly failed in the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where it was defeated by Vitality, Bad News Eagles and fnatic.
Next, the European team ambiguously played in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, where, although it made it to the play-offs, but already in the quarterfinals Ledgeil FaZe Clan and went to the next championship.
However, within the group stage of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, G2 fared the best, as here the Samurai first handled Cloud9 and then outplayed Imperial Esports, securing a slot in the semi-finals.

However, during the group stage of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, Vitality immediately ran into trouble with Imperial Esports, only to be corrected with a victory over Cloud9.
Moreover, in the quarterfinals the Danish-French team confidently defeated FaZe Clan, as if returning to the number of contenders to win. And overall, you can see that Vitality are still trying to hold on to their form.

Forecast for G2 vs Vitality
Personally, I don't hold out much hope for G2's game because time after time the team tries to create problems for themselves on a level playing field. Against the "Samurai" Vitality looks much more stable, even in spite of their defeat at the hands of Imperial Esports.
All in all, for me personally, I'm pretty clear on the favourite here, although the odds could be a bit The International riga, especially in terms of card selection. Still, in this case, I'd recommend betting on a Vitality win.
