Match Prediction: Vitality - Team Spirit | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 EuropeTeams Vitality and Spirit had a chance to open matches in Group A. Of course, the French are the favorites here. However, in reality everything is not so simple, because we remember the results of the last two face-to-face meetings of the teams.
Vitality Form
The French, occupying the second line of the world rankings, went through the BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020 without losses. Vitality started with a difficult victory over Complexity (2: 1), but in the second match, they closed out the Germans from BIG (2: 0) without a chance. And finally, the team again met with BIG in the grand final, once again proving their superiority (2: 1). It is worth highlighting the excellent game from Nivera. The young Belgian took the sniper role from ZywOo, becoming almost the best player in the championship, playing only four cards.
The best cards of the French team:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Dust 2 - 75% wins.
At the same time, the opponent is able to impose a fight on the presented cards. But most importantly, the French don't play Train.
Spirit form
The Dragons, having finished IEM New York 2020 CIS on the third line (which is only a technical victory over NAVI - 1: 0), began to conquer Europe again. So, as part of the closed qualifier for IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Europe, the team crushed FATE (2: 0), North (2: 0) and Sprout (2: 1). At the same time, it is important to understand that for six months now Spirit has been approaching the giants, consistently upsetting them at large tournaments.
Spirit card pool:
- Train - 80% wins.
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Mirage - 73% wins.
- Dust 2 - 62% wins.
But it was said earlier that we will not see Train in this meeting, as well as Vertigo, which is being banned by "dragons".
Personal meetings statistics
During the current season, the teams had two fights, in which the Russian team won both times (2: 1 at ESL Pro League Season 11 Europe, 2: 1 at ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe).
Forecast for the match Vitality - Spirit
So it turns out that "dragons" are not an obvious favorite of the meeting. Spirit is probably an extremely awkward opponent for the French. And for this reason, I will believe in the Russian team, offering to bet on the victory of the Spirit team with odds of 3.22.
Bookmakers & Statistics
All bookmakers have agreed that Vitality is the favorite. This can be noticed because odds on them are 1.374. This number in the favor of Team Spirit amounts 2.98. Respectively, the last ones are the underdogs of the upcoming match.
In the case of solidarity with the bookmaker’s position about the possible winner of the match, a bet at will be more preferable where odds 1.42 are given on Vitality victory. If you are confident that analysts provide a totally wrong prediction, you should risk and make a bet on Team Spirit success at - the team’s victory is evaluated with the high odds 3.22.
