Match Prediction: fnatic - Astralis | CS2 (CS:GO)

fnatic and Astralis will meet in the group stage. An interesting match, because it's hard to name a winner right away. On the one hand, Astralis continues to hold on to its big name, but is experiencing big problems with the roster.

On the other hand, fnatic recently played great at IEM Rio Major 2022, but now the team is left without KRIMZ and forced to play the tournament with Peppzor. But if in any other match it makes sense to believe in the Danes, then here I would prefer to pay attention to keita's charges.

fnatic form

The eleventh team in the world ranking played terribly in the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 16, but then the guys shone in the RMR tournament and made it to the Major.

Already at IEM Rio Major 2022, fnatic started playing, although the team was somewhat unlucky with its opponents. In general, where necessary - the team lost. However, the guys got their victories and got to the playoffs. Thank you for that.

Also, before the start of Elisa Masters Espoo 2022, the team was left without KRIMZ, which, of course, will play into the red.

fnatic's latest results:

• Victory over Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 16:13.
• Lost to Heroic with a score of 2:16.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 16:7.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 0:2.

Best fnatic cards:

• Overpass - 89% of wins.
• Vertigo - 80% of wins.
• Nuke - 80% win rate.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.

It is worth recalling that the European team has long abandoned the Dust 2 map.

Astralis shape

The eighteenth team of the world ranking also failed at ESL Pro League Season 16, but didn't even make it out of the group there. Then the Danish team played terribly at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, not getting into the major at all.

From the latter, Astralis made it to the finals of BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, but even there they were defeated by Heroic. There are also some troubles with the composition, so, as they say, do not judge strictly.

Astralis latest results:

• Lost to the Bad News Eagles 3:16.
• Defeat from forZe with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 0:2.

Best Astralis cards:

• Inferno - 75% of wins.
• Mirage - 71% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.

In turn, the Danish team continues to refuse the Vertigo card.

Prediction for the match fnatic — Astralis

With all these changes and stand-ins, both teams will lose. But here the Danish team has a little less chances, since the opponent gave enough information about himself at IEM Rio Major 2022. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on fnatic to win.
