Match Prediction: NaVi - Falcons | CS2 (CS:GO)

NAVI and Falcons will meet in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A. It will be very interesting to see the loaded Frenchmen come out to play against the clear leader and favourite.

And "Born to Win" were unsuccessful in this championship, although they did suffer a victory over Into the Breach in overtime. Nevertheless, that's not going to fly now, and it's time to get involved.

On the other hand, the Falcons haven't opened up to 100% yet, as every other team can beat Sprout. So I'd go with the logical NAVI team win here.

NAVI's form

The fourth team of the world ranking went to the semi-finals of IEM Katowice 2023 in February, where they lost almost without a chance to the Danes from Heroic.

Next, Born to Win performed relatively well in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they lost only to FORZE. However, in the play-offs NAVI again reached the semi-finals, Ledge and FaZe Clan.

As for Long Sogpeg on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, here the Ukrainian team outplayed Into the Breach with great difficulty, showing a very controversial attack and unclear motivation.

Recent NAVI results:

• A 2-1 win over 00NATION.
• 2-0 win over the Outsiders.
• 2-0 win over Heroic.
• Defeat by FaZe Clan, 1-2.
• Victory over Into the Breach with a score of 22-19.

Best NAVI scores:

• Anubis - 100% wins.
• Ancient - 83% wins.
• Overpass - 75% wins.

Let's not forget that the Ukrainian team is still refusing Vertigo maps.

The 52nd ranked team in the world managed to fall in the play-offs of CCT West Europe Series 1, along the way deciding not to finish the ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe.

The Falcons also recently took part in the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, where they opened up and reached the quarter-finals. Yet there the boys lost to Cloud9 without taking the maps.

As for Long Sogpeg on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, here the French team managed to beat Sprout, demonstrating their desire to fight for the slot.

Forecast for the match NAVI - Falcons

I think that after the hard-fought victory, NAVI will finally wake up and not allow their opponent too much. In turn, the French team can go down in such a match, although the guys have plenty of experience. But I wouldn't count on a sensation, because the Falcons still have to prove their mettle. Therefore, in this case, I'd recommend betting on a NAVI win.
