Prediction on match CS2 Astralis - Vitality

Astralis and Vitality will play in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2022. To some extent, both teams are experiencing problems. But if the Danes still cannot find their game, then everyone automatically expects a lot from Vitality, but the team cannot interact normally within their system. In any case, the Danish-French team individually looks a little more interesting, while Astralis continues to fail due to the stagnation of their ideas.

Astralis shape

The 12th team in the world ranking failed at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 without even getting into the “legends” stage. Moreover, at the Major, the team beat only IHC and MIBR, as well as lost to Team Spirit and Team Liquid. I don't think that Astralis has corrected all its mistakes in three weeks, as the team has been failing over the past five months.

And in terms of shooting, there are no prerequisites that veterans and a sniper will begin to make a difference. In general, everything goes to the fact that the Danes will not even leave the group and will go to prepare for tournaments from bookmakers and online casinos.

Astralis latest results:

• Victory over IHC with a score of 16:2.
• Defeat from Vitality with a score of 8:16.
• Victory over MIBR with a score of 16:13.
• Defeated by Team Spirit with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0:2.

Best Astralis cards:

• Nuke - 78% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 60% of wins.
• Ancient - 58% of wins.

At the same time, the Danish team continues to refuse both Dust 2 and Vertigo.

Form Vitality

The tenth team in the world ranking stopped a step away from reaching the playoffs of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Interestingly, the team held a controversial championship, first closing the Challengers stage with three wins, and then starting with two losses in BO1. Personally, it seems to me that Vitality cannot find a common language inside because the team plays too fragmented. It is worth adding to this the general decline of players who, against this background, do not show even half of their capabilities. Nevertheless, I personally have confidence that the Danish-French team will again outplay Astralis, whose ideas have become obsolete.

Vitality's latest results:

• Lost to NIP with a score of 4:16.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 8:16.
• The victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 1:2.

Best Vitality cards:

• Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
• Inferno - 67% of wins.

At the same time, the team continues to abandon the Ancient map.

Match statistics Astralis — Vitality

As part of the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers Stage, the victory went to Vitality (16:8).

Prediction for the match Astralis — Vitality

Based on dry statistics, Astralis actually has no chance. Moreover, over the past six months, the teams have held four meetings, and only on Dust 2 and Inferno the Danes turned out to be stronger.

However, Astralis is not having the best of times right now. Yes, the same can be said about Vitality, but you can't argue with statistics. As for the maps, we can see Mirage, Inferno or Vertigo, although the selection is really impressive. And yet, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Vitality team, which looks a little more interesting based on the totality of the latest results.

Vitality are listed as the favorites of the match in the majority of bookmakers and odds on them are equal to 1.662. Astralis, in turn, are the outsiders of the match. Odds on their victory are about 2.27.

What the team performance statistics say

The statistics of personal battles between teams is also important for successful bets. The teams played 21 matches with each other before. And Astralis won 8 times while Vitality correspondingly became the winner 13 times.
