Prediction on match CS2 Sprout - sAw

Sprout and SAW will compete for a place in the semifinals of the European Development Championship 2, in which the winner of this pair will play with someone from Sinners and HellRaisers. We have to admit that both teams are now in incredible shape. However, the statistics of personal meetings suggests that the situation here is not on the side of the Portuguese.

Sprout Form

The 21st team in the world rankings successfully started the new season, winning two tournaments in a row. However, the team followed a decline, as a result of which he lost many matches. Nevertheless, Sprout found the strength to come back and start winning again.

Recent results of the team:

• Victory over Dignitas with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat to ENCE with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over ex-ETHEREAL with a score of 16:14.
• Victory over Lyngby Vikings with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over LDLC with a score of 2: 0.

Best Sprout Maps:

• Nuke - 75% wins.
• Dust 2 - 71% wins.
• Inferno - 67% wins.
• Train - 58% wins.

I believe that in this match we will definitely miss Overpass. However, the team has a fairly strong set of cards that can contribute to the success of the match.

SAW shape

The 22nd world ranked team had a hard time getting started in the new season, showing not the most impressive Counter Strike. However, the Portuguese came to their senses in time, performing excellently at ESEA Premier Season 36 Europe. In addition, the team finished 3-4 on Snow Sweet Snow 1, losing only to the future championship winner.

Recent results of the team:

• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over forZe with a score of 2: 1.
• Lost to FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Apeks with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over FATE with a score of 2: 0.

Best SAW cards:

• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Inferno - 62% wins.
• Dust 2 - 58% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

I am sure that in this match we will manage without Mirage, which is not included in the team's plans. In addition, the Portuguese should definitely avoid Train, which does not show the most impressive Counter Strike.

Personal meetings statistics

During the last season, the teams held five meetings:

• Sprout's victory in ESEA MDL Season 35 Europe with a score of 16:12.
• Sprout's victory in the qualifier for DreamHack Open Fall 2020 with a score of 16:13.
• Sprout wins the qualifier for DreamHack Open Fall 2020 with a score of 2: 0.
• SAW's victory at ESEA MDL Season 35 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
• Sprout's victory in ESEA MDL Season 35 Europe with a score of 2: 0.

So it turns out that the Germans look like the favorite of the meeting.

Sprout vs SAW prediction

Despite a fairly equal match in terms of chances, my preference goes in favor of the German team, which should make a little fewer mistakes. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the Sprout team to win with odds of 1.50.
