Match prediction
G2 and Movistar Riders will meet at IEM Dallas 2022. Even if we are talking about BO1, the Spaniards, given the recent matches at bookmaker tournaments, have no chance in Dallas. Yes, and G2 is probably happy with the results of the draw, because with such an opponent you can show your best CS. In any case, Movistar Riders has too ghostly chances in this confrontation, as well as in the entire tournament as a whole.
Form G2
The seventh team in the world ranking failed at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 without even making it to the playoffs. It can be seen that the team lacks variability, just as the stars no longer shoot. It's hard to say what can be expected from G2 in the long run, as it's really hard to come up with a captain like that.
And yet, we are talking about the match with an outsider who did not make it to IEM Dallas 2022 on his own. Therefore, G2 has good chances to open up, since the problematic opponent can give a good boost to the next matches.
Latest G2 results:

- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
At the same time, we understand that the team will definitely refuse the Overpass map.
Movistar Riders Uniform
The 18th team in the world ranking did not even make it to IEM Dallas 2022 on their own, becoming the worst in the qualification. After that, the Spaniards managed to receive an invitation from the organizers, since NAVI and Entropiq were unable to obtain visas.
The most interesting thing is that the team, combining business with pleasure, went to Pinnacle Cup IV. But here Movistar Riders only had one victory over Isurus, after which the team lost to Finest. And if the same attack is in Dallas, the Spaniards will quickly say goodbye to the tournament.

G2 meeting statistics - Movistar Riders
As part of the last season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Fall 2021 Europe, the victory went to Movistar Riders (2:1).
Prediction for the match G2 — Movistar Riders
I don't believe that the Spanish team, not having some kind of sensible attack, will suddenly come and start showing incredible CS. As well as for G2, this is one of the last championships, according to which conclusions will be drawn about future replacements.
In the bottom line, there is a high probability of seeing Mirage, although on other maps Movistar Riders is not able to attack, using only the defense meta. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the G2 team with Handicap in rounds (-4.5).
