Match Prediction: NaVi Junior - OG Academy | CS2 (CS:GO)
WePlay Academy League Season 6In the second match of the fourth gaming day of WePlay Academy League Season 6, NAVI Junior and OG Academy will play against each other. The teams will fight for additional points in the group stage, which will allow them to reach the playoffs, and NAVI Junior will also try to keep the lead in Group A. According to experts from bookmakers, this meeting should be the first losing game for Natus Vincere Junior, and OG Academy has a 60% chance of winning, which is equivalent to 1.55 odds. Let's find out if NAVI Junior will be able to continue their winning streak or OG Academy will be able to stop it and earn their second victory.
NAVI Junior uniform
Now Natus Vincere Junior is on the 171st place in the list of the best CS:GO rosters according to the HLTV portal. Although the team performed unsuccessfully at CCT South Europe Series 1 on October 1 and 12 and was defeated in the fight against Copenhagen Flames and NeedDOCTOR, the team gave an excellent start at WePlay Academy League Season 6. Dem0N and the company have already played three meetings and all confrontations have ended for NAVI Junior victory. In the beginning, they defeated Flames Ascent, after which they defeated Apeks Rebels, and then defeated Flames Ascent again. In fairness, I note that the Flames Ascent and Apeks Rebels are not the kind of teams that you can be proud of defeating. I won't go into details, but Apeks Rebels are currently the main underdog of Group A and currently have a record of 0-4. It is also worth noting the fact that all three matches of NAVI Junior were played on Mirage and Dust 2, their best maps. If OG Academy forces them to change their location, then most likely they will not see a victory.
In general, the NAVI Junior map pool cannot be called too poor, but it cannot be called universal either. We could see the best performances of NAVI Junior on Mirage and Dust 2, where the win rate is 83.3% and 80% respectively. Considering 6 and 5 maps played there, such statistics can be fully considered objective. Ancient has been played 3 times and has won 2 of them. On other maps, namely Vertigo, Inferno and Overpass, the team performs with a success rate of 25%, 20% and 0%.

OG Academy uniform
OG Academy were ranked #165 by HLTV. Before the start of WePlay Academy League Season 6, the team showed poor results in the closed qualifiers for CCT South Europe Series 1. There, the roster took 5-8th place, and the start of the path to WePlay Academy League Season 6 cannot be called very successful. The team was defeated in the fight against Fnatic Rising and Flames Ascent, but defeated Apeks Rebels. If with Fnatic Rising the reason is clear, since the opponent is strong enough, then their defeat in the fight against Flames Ascent raises questions, since the same NAVI Junior managed to defeat them twice. Moreover, the team lost there on Overpass, one of their best maps. Consequently, OG Academy are not in the most stable position, and therefore I definitely won’t dare to call them the favorite of the meeting.
As for the arsenal of maps where players perform, the best places for their battles are Ancient and Overpass. There, the win rate is 66.7% and 58.3% at 3 and 12 played times. On Dust 2, Mirage, Inferno and Vertigo oxygeN and his teammates should not play, as the statistics are rather deplorable, and they played 8 times on Inferno OG Academy. For what reason the roster often played on the map if it doesn’t know how to impose a fight there, it’s not clear.

Conclusion
It’s not entirely clear to me why experts from bookmakers are so confident in the victory of OG Academy and give odds for their triumph of 1.55, and not 1.65, for example. In this case, it seems to me that Natus Vincere Junior can show a decent fight and possibly even take the fourth victory in the WePlay Academy League Season 6. This is indicated by several factors that I mentioned earlier. In this case, instead of betting on someone to win, I will prefer the Handicap +3.5 rounds market in favor of NAVI Junior. This means that Dem0N and company will take at least 13 rounds. For such a market, bookmakers give odds of 1.76, which is not bad at all.
Final bet: Handicap +3.5 rounds in favor of NAVI Junior with odds of 1.76
