Prediction on match CS2 forZe - Espada

We should expect the CIS final from DreamHack Open December 2020. But no, already in their first match in the championship forZe and Espada will meet. And in the context of this confrontation, not everything is so simple.

ForZe form

How do you like the updated forZe roster? The 34th World Ranking Team introduced us two newcomers before the start of the European Development Championship 1. And it all started great, as forZe beat Illuminar (16:14) and got a good start. However, the team first lost to Endpoint (0: 2), and then to Budapest Five (1: 2), which is why they left the tournament ahead of schedule.

Best forZe cards:

• Inferno - 58% wins.
• Train - 55% wins.

Needless to say, the once-signature Dust 2 and Overpass for the band require improvements? In addition, the team does not play Vertigo, which should not be expected in the series.

Espada Form

The 27th team in the world rankings started at MIDNITE Nine to Five 7 with a confident victory over the Saints (2: 0). However, then the team decided to go on tilt, losing an easy meeting with AVEZ (0: 2). But it should be noted that it took Espada only a day to recover, because the next day the team beat PACT (2: 0). Moreover, the team with a victory over SG.pro (2: 0) started at Vulkan Fight Series 2020.

Best Espada cards:

• Dust 2 - 92% wins.
• Nuke - 69% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Train - 62% wins.
• Overpass - 59% wins.
• Inferno - 57% wins.

However, the team, as well as the compatriots, do not play on Vertigo.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams held three face-to-face meetings:

• ForZe's victory at the CIS Cup - BLAST Premier Qualifier with a score of 2: 0.
• ForZe wins at Hellcase Cup 8 with a score of 2: 0.
• Espada's victory at the IEM New York 2020 CIS with a score of 2: 1.

So it turns out that closer to winter Espada began to gain momentum, which is directly reflected in the team's results.

Forecast for the match forZe - Espada

I'm not sure if forZe is able to show the result right now. As shown by the European Development Championship 1, the team has yet to work hard to adapt newcomers. At the same time, Espada is an established team that begins to take the first trophies. Therefore, I propose to bet on the Espada team to win with odds of 1.53.
