Match Prediction: Vitality - Gambit Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2022Vitality and Gambit will meet in the lower bracket of IEM Katowice 2022. The Danish-French team cannot yet be considered a contender for big trophies, as it manages to lose to pistols at a score of 15:14. At the same time, Gambit is not yet in optimal condition, from which this meeting will be filled with errors.
Form Vitality
The third team in the world ranking had a good start at IEM Katowice 2022, getting a labor victory over MOUZ. Another point is that in many respects the team is repelled by the shooting of ZywOo, if it doesn’t go well, then Vitality loses. This happened a day earlier, when the Danish-French squad ran into Heroic, having failed to offer anything. And if the team continues to throw further like this, then you can completely fly out.

Gambit form
The second team of the world ranking had a very uncertain start at IEM Katowice 2022, losing to NIP. A shameful achievement, but it's good that the team corrected the game in a day and found the strength to beat Copenhagen Flames. In any case, Gambit is still far from perfect, as the team is trying to change their game, taking unnecessary risks somewhere.

Vitality vs Gambit Match Statistics
At the end of last season, the teams had three meetings:
- Vitality's victory at ESL Pro League Season 14 with a score of 2:0.
- Vitality's victory at IEM Winter 2021 with a score of 2:1.

But then the French played purely with their backbone.
Prediction for the match Vitality — Gambit
Vitality will be a clear favorite at their own pick if the team chooses Inferno or Dust 2. However, the Russian team is also good at Overpass and Vertigo, so the conclusion suggests itself. In any case, it is extremely difficult to single out one team as a favorite. Therefore, here I propose to bet more on Total on cards 2.5.
