Match Prediction: Astralis - fnatic | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESL Pro League Season 11: EuropeAt the first match of the second stage Fnatic managed to defeat not the weakest opponent, FaZe Clan, with the score 2-1. Meanwhile, Astralis lost a battle with Natus Vincere with the result 1-2. Both teams have already warmed up and now they are ready for the upcoming battle. That is why we think that the meeting is not going to be limited with only one map.
Astralis and Fnatic had five wins at the last six matches. Both rosters lost battles with NAVI. Before that the teams had played each other at IEM Katowice 2020 that ended up at the end of February. Then Astralis got a win over Fnatic 2-0 but the gaming shape of the teams have already changed so we do not want to exclude the likelihood of it ending up in 2-1.
Yesterday's matches, picks, and bans at both meetings showed to use that these teams prefer Inferno. Fnatic and Astralis banned Nuke and they are likely to skip this map again. Mirage is not counted as well since Fnatic performed poorly there and Astralis crossed it out at the fight with NAVI. Analogously, we will not see Dust 2 among the picked maps — yesterday Fnatic banned it, Astralis lost there. We are almost sure that we will see the game of the teams on Inferno and Overpass, and the last map will be Vertigo or Train. If everything happens this way, the encounters on Inferno and Overpass may be time-consuming and turn over 26 rounds which cements our idea of the equal match.
The best bet in this case is Total more than 2.5 for maps with the odds 2.05 or Handicap +1.5 of a map for Fnatic with the odds 1.52. The first type of the bet expects the team to play three maps says while the second says that the Swedish will take at least one map. The most likely outcome is that Astralis will become the winner with 2-1, so both of the options will be great. You can also make a bet on 2-1 for the Danish with the odds 3.30, but it will be too risky.
