Match Prediction: Sprout - Vitality | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Cologne 2022 Play-InSprout and Vitality will fight for the right to advance to the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In. I'm telling you straight away - the wards of BERRY simply won't be taken out of the game, because they play without any sensible idea.
Interestingly, Vitality also has its own problems, since no self-respecting TIER-1 team will lose to Movistar Riders. On the other hand, the Danish-French team will definitely get together, because they had enough time to analyze their mistakes.
In the aggregate of all factors, Sprout simply cannot win here and now. And if you dig even further, then I practically don’t believe in the map from this team either - the guys play too poorly even for the TIER-2 level.
Sprout form
The 23rd team of the world ranking managed to visit the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference, where they did not get a single victory, closing the championship on the last line.
Then Sprout had a trip to ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack, where the team managed to reach the semi-finals. Although, I wouldn't say that BERRY's players have played enough in the TOP-4, since the Brazilians are now beaten by many.
As for the start at IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, here Sprout expectedly lost to Heroic, taking three rounds on Overpass, but after that she was able to cope with paiN Gaming.

At the same time, the Danish-German team has recently abandoned the Mirage card.
Form Vitality
The fifth team in the world ranking became the second in the BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, losing to NAVI without a chance in the grand final. I don’t think it’s worth remembering that championship, because, as practice shows, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge.
Well, at the start of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, the Danish-French team defeated TYLOO, as it turned out, believing in their own strengths and capabilities too early.
Well, then there was a defeat from Movistar Riders, after which there was practically no confidence in Vitality. Honestly, I do not think that the team will show the same bad game, but the bell is really disturbing.

Within the framework of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 15, Vitality won (2:0).
Prediction for the match Sprout — Vitality
Too weak game performed by Sprout against the backdrop of any big team, not counting some Brazilians there. I really don't even see the cards from BERRY's guys, because they have nothing to offer, except for shooting.
Of course, the Danish-French team failed yesterday, otherwise how to explain such a defeat from Movistar Riders is impossible. But the composition is too experienced not to extract mistakes from that meeting.
The only thing that can confuse is the Inferno map, where, according to statistics, Sprout is in perfect order. But, remembering ESL Pro League Season 15, it's not a fact that the Danish-German team will even make it to overtime.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Vitality team with a score of 2:0.
