Prediction on match CS2 Vitality - Astralis

Vitality and Astralis will argue for the right to reach the semifinals of the IEM Global Challenge 2020. Both teams have already learned the bitterness of defeat from BIG, but now the struggle will unfold in earnest, because there is simply no chance of a mistake.

Vitality Form

Let me remind you that the TOP-1 of the world ranking came to the IEM Global Challenge 2020 as the BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals champion. However, at the start of the new tournament, the team lost to BIG with a score of 1: 2, putting themselves in an extremely difficult position. Nevertheless, Vitality was able to cope with Complexity (2: 0) and stay afloat.

Best Vitality Cards:

• Overpass - 86% wins.
• Inferno - 79% wins.
• Dust 2 - 77% wins.
• Mirage - 62% wins.

At the same time, the French are not very eager to play Train. It is also worth highlighting the systematic problems on Nuke that the Danes can take advantage of.

Astralis shape

The second team of the world ranking, on the contrary, won at the start of the IEM Global Challenge 2020 over Complexity with a score of 2: 0. However, the Danish team also experienced difficulties in the game with BIG, losing without any cards taken. However, the team has one more attempt to make it to the playoffs. But the opponents are one of the strongest opponents of all possible.

Best Astralis cards:

• Inferno - 76% wins.
• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Train - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.

But we remember that the team is in no hurry to play on Mirage. Nevertheless, even with such statistics, it will be incredibly difficult for the team to show results in the game with Vitality.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams held eight face-to-face meetings, of which Astralis left five times with a victory. But do not ignore the fact that the last two meetings ended in victory for the French team. Interestingly, the last three matches invariably pushed the Total on cards 2.5 more, so there is reason to think.

Forecast for the match Vitality - Astralis

I am convinced that the Danes will pick Nuke with their card, and then the French will have big problems. Vitality will pick Inferno in the same queue, which I have almost no doubt about. Well, the third map will be Overpass or Dust 2, where there is a real random. Therefore, I propose to take the Total on cards 2.5 more, which is estimated by the odds of 1.94. Nevertheless, I still believe in the luck of the French team, which over and over again manages to win in difficult situations. Therefore, I will choose the Vitality team as the winner, which is estimated with a coefficient of 1.84.
