Prediction on match CS2 SKADE - sAw

SKADE and SAW will meet in the first round of the Thunderpick Bitcoin Series 2022 playoffs. This week alone, the teams held two meetings, which, surprisingly, went to the Portuguese. And don't forget that recently SKADE has been playing extremely unstable and weak, if we talk about team interactions.

Form SKADE

The 22nd team of the world ranking performed extremely uncertainly at the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 40: Europe. Moreover, the team lost twice to SAW, failing to reach the playoffs. Well, at least the Bulgarians are preparing for the playoffs of Pinnacle Winter Series 3, where everything is going as well as possible. However, the latest SKADE games haunt me, which is why I highly doubt the team's prospects for a clean win.

Latest SKADE results:

• Defeated by SAW with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Endpoint with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over SINNERS with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by SAW with a score of 1:2.

Best SKADE cards:

• Overpass - 80% of wins.
• Ancient - 77% of wins.
• Inferno - 65% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 62% of wins.
• Nuke - 55% win rate.

I note that the Bulgarian team stopped playing on the Vertigo map a long time ago.

SAW form

The 40th team in the world ranking managed to qualify for the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR, showing a good game. As for the recent ESL Challenger League Season 40: Europe, here the Portuguese team managed to reach the playoffs, outplaying SKADE twice. Although I must say that SAW has a small sample, now the team looks decent.

Latest SAW results:

• Victory over Unique with a score of 16:3.
• Defeated by BIG with a score of 8:16.
• Victory over SKADE with a score of 2:0.
• Defeat from Finest with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over SKADE with a score of 2:1.

Best SAW cards:

• Nuke - 67% of wins.
• Ancient - 64% of wins.
• Overpass - 60% of wins.
• Inferno - 60% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 58% win rate
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

At the same time, the Portuguese will definitely not play on the Mirage map.

Prediction for the match SKADE — SAW

I will start exclusively from the last full-time matches of the teams, where the Portuguese looked more interesting and fresh, while SKADE does not even try to change its style. In this regard, I expect the next problems for the Bulgarian team. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the SAW team.
