Prediction on match CS2 FunPlus Phoenix - Sprout

FunPlus Phoenix and Sprout will meet at FLASHPOINT 3. Let me remind you that the teams are fighting only for the ninth place. However, it seems that in this quartet there is simply no team stronger than FunPlus Phoenix.

FunPlus Phoenix Shape

The 17th team in the world ranking shows a good game in terms of structure and ideological content. However, sometimes this team is very unlucky, for example, with the drawing of lots. Nevertheless, having fallen into the desider group, FunPlus Phoenix has already managed to defeat Complexity, giving the "favorite" only ten rounds on two maps.

Recent FunPlus Phoenix results:

• Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over HYENAS with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to NiP with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.

Best FunPlus Phoenix Cards:

• Train - 100% wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.
• Nuke - 57% wins.
• Inferno - 55% wins.

Obviously FunPlus Phoenix will remove Mirage from the match. However, the rest of the team has a huge advantage in terms of statistics.

Sprout Form

The 30th world ranked team had a bad start in the championship, quickly falling into the lower bracket, and then into the desider group. Interestingly, all matches, with the exception of the defeat to Heroic, ended on three maps. Moreover, Sprout was not always in the role of a breakaway one. But all this is a matter of bygone days, since once again the team is considered an outsider of the match.

Recent Sprout results:

• Victory over NLG with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Unicorns of Love with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 1.
• Lost to BIG with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2: 1.

Best Sprout Maps:

• Dust 2 - 67% wins.
• Train - 50% wins.

Interestingly, in this case, the team will abandon Overpass. At the same time, let's not forget that Sprout has good rounds for the same Nuke, Vertigo and Inferno.

FunPlus Phoenix - Sprout Meeting Statistics

As part of the last season, the teams held one meeting - Sprout won the victory at DreamHack Open Fall 2020 (2: 1).

Prediction for the match FunPlus Phoenix - Sprout

I say right away that FunPlus Phoenix is my favorite. However, do not forget that Sprout can impose a fight on at least three maps - Nuke, Vertigo and Inferno. Between times, the team can choose Dust 2, on which FunPlus Phoenix has too little practice. Therefore, here I propose to put on Forum (+1.5) for Sprout, expecting three equal cards.
