Young Ninjas and BIG Academy will fight each other in the third match of WePlay Academy League Season 5. According to experts from bookmakers and ordinary eSports fans, BIG Academy are clear favorites here, and there are several reasons for this. Bookmakers estimate the chances of the BIG Academy team winning at approximately 58%, which translates into odds of 1.60. I propose to consider the factors of the game form of the participants in the match and deal with the question of what bet is most appropriate here.
Young Ninjas uniform
Young Ninjas are now in 73rd place in the list of the best CS:GO teams, and the team managed to participate in the fifth season of the WePlay Academy League, where they showed that they are in good shape. The match against OG Academy ended in victory for Young Ninjas with a score of 16-12. And this is even despite the fact that there were changes in the team just before the start of the tournament! Let me remind you that Kalle 'Ro1f' Johansson and Adrian '7EMPORARY' Mehrara left the team before the start. Their places are now taken by Sean 'eraa' Knutsson and Linus 'LNZ' Holtang, who have good experience in competitive CS:GO. And, as we can see so far, it was not done in vain. And of course, the management couldn't make a replacement without letting the esportsmen try their hand at the new team.
Before the fifth season of the WePlay Academy League, the team took part only in the fourth season, and there the team also showed itself well in the June matches. Over the last 8 matches, the team has suffered only two defeats. The roster ended up taking 5th-6th place in WePlay Academy League Season 4.
I am sure that the players who came will give the fans of the Swedish tag the opportunity to cheer on their favorites and watch an interesting confrontation with BIG Academy.
Let's not forget about the card pool. He is rather weak in Young Ninjas. If BIG Academy bans Inferno, then the Swedes will not see victory.

BIG Academy uniform
BIG Academy are ranked 55th in the HLTV world rankings. The team has been playing together since July 1 with the arrival of Tom 'skyye' Hagdorn, and on the 19th Niko 'Aqua' Kembicki joined the team. Such a short period cannot be called sufficient to have time to play at a high level, however, as BIG Academy players showed today, this hypothesis can be wrong, especially if your opponent does not play very well. In the match against Apeks Rebels that took place yesterday, BIG Academy did not give their opponents any chance and won on the Vertigo map with a score of 16-2. In early July, BIG Academy took part in the Y-Games Pro Series 2022 tournament, where they won all matches and took first place. They prevailed over Cryptova, AGO and ECLOT. Since that moment, the roster has changed twice, however, as mentioned above, this does not really prevent the German team from having a good playing shape.

Conclusion
In general, I think that bookmakers and spectators are confident in the victory of BIG Academy for two reasons. Firstly, the team with the status of WePlay Academy League Season 4 vice-champion is still remembered by all viewers as a fairly strong team, which is also reflected in the HLTV rating. Secondly, the German roster showed a very strong performance in their debut match against the Apeks Rebels. Not everyone can lose just two rounds. I might not be too sure about a solid victory for BIG Academy, but due to the fact that the Young Ninjas roster has also been changed recently, my preference here is towards BIG Academy. Moreover, I consider it appropriate to bet on a more risky market such as the Handicap -2.5 rounds of the BIG Academy or the Handicap -3.5 rounds of the BIG Academy with odds of 1.80 and 2.10 respectively. This means that the Germans will close the match with a lead of 3 rounds (16-13 or less) or 4 rounds respectively (16-12 or less). Fans of less risky bets can opt for BIG Academy to win at odds of 1.60.
Final bet: BIG Academy to win with a handicap of -3.5 cards. Ratio: 2.11
