Falcons and Partizan will compete for the right not to leave the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Europe. However, the winner of this match will advance to the next round, where they will play against forZe.
Speaking frankly, the Serbian-Bulgarian team can show a good game and surprise. However, overall I'm more inclined to go with the Falcons, as these guys should come out next by name.
In general, Partizan showed itself well in this championship, but the French are a personal sympathy.
Form Falcons
The 74th team of the world ranking seemed to have a good start in the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Europe, where they managed to outplay SINNERS and Permitta. However, here the French team has already managed to lose, having failed to cope with Sprout.
At the same time, Falcons started its way to Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 Contenders, where it even managed to lose to its future rival. And yet, the day before, the team got what they needed by outplaying PGE Turow.
Summing up, the French sometimes shoot and keep the planned level, but in some places the guys are very shaky.

Prediction for the match Falcons — Partizan
I would not look at the last meeting, because in BO1 any victory is reset. However, it is impossible to deny Partizan's condition, as the team gained a lot. And yet, for me, the French seem to be the favorites, since their combined experience is clearly more interesting. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Falcons team.
