Prediction on match CS2 NiP - Vitality

NIP and Vitality will vie for the right to qualify for the IEM Winter 2021 playoffs. Here is just a typical story where two teams that deserve to lose suddenly get lost and win. This makes it harder to predict, as NIP woke up REZ again, while the French were very lucky with the comeback.

NIP form

The sixth team in the world ranking completely failed in the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021, losing not only to Astralis, but also to Liquid. It's time to write off the team, and the coach is holding his last championship. However, here the Swedes unexpectedly broke through, namely REZ, which simply destroyed the Astralis attack. And now I do not understand what these whiny children will come up with, who at any moment can fall asleep on the server.

Recent NIP results:

• Victory over Copenhagen Flames with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat to Astralis with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat against Liquid with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 16: 8.

Best NIP cards:

• Ancient - 89% wins.
• Inferno - 73% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Nuke - 55% wins.

Now the team is getting rid of Vertigo. But at the same time, the Swedes are very sad on Mirage and Dust 2.

Vitality Form

The second team of the world rankings unexpectedly became the second in the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021. Now the French have bounced off MOUZ at the start of IEM Winter 2021. No, I am not saying anything, because taking a 2v5 round is cool. However, Vitality still has big problems with young and team interactions. And here, as in the case of NIP, it is generally impossible to predict the mood of the team.

Recent Vitality results:

• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against NAVI with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat MOUZ with a score of 19:16.

Best Vitality Cards:

• Vertigo - 78% wins.
• Mirage - 70% wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% wins.
• Inferno - 58% wins.
• Nuke - 58% wins.

The French have never played Ancient yet.

NIP meeting statistics - Vitality

During the current season, the teams held two meetings:

• NIP's victory at ESL Pro League Season 13 with a score of 2: 0.
• NIP victory at IEM Fall 2021 Europe with a score of 2: 1.

That being said, I still don't understand what the teams will show this time.

Forecast for the match NIP - Vitality

The French are considered favorites, which is quite understandable from the latest results. However, in my understanding, Vitality's chances are even less, given the play of Kyojin aka 50 ADperG. Therefore, here I propose to take a risk and stick 2.5 more on Total on cards. I will explain this by the fact that the French, picking Mirage or Overpass, will get an advantage. Well, NIP can hang out on Nuke and Inferno.
