Match Prediction: sAw - Sangal | Counter-Strike (CS2)
CCT North Europe Series #4SAW and Sangal will play in the first round of the CCT North Europe Series 4 play-offs. The Portuguese side recently travelled to Malta, where they failed in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, picking up just one win.
In turn, Sangal played somewhere there, but still no results. And it must be admitted that the team has been starting to give up recently, which is evident from the instability even in specific CS GO matches.
Therefore, I would look out for a logical win for SAW here. First of all, the Portuguese are skating normally online in experience. Secondly, Sangal are something with something right now.
SAW form
The world number 24 team with great difficulty qualified for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR, and only managed to win a trip to Copenhagen in the tie-breaks.
The Portuguese side went on to fall apart in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they made up for their three defeats with just one victory over Imperial Esports, and that was pretty controversial.
As for the latter, SAW has yet to drop out of ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe, having outplayed Believe. All in all, the team has yet to prove anything, but questions abound.
SAW's latest results:
- A 0-2 loss to MOUZ.
- A 2-1 win over Imperial Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to BIG.
- 0-2 defeat to Movistar Riders.
- A 2-0 win over Believe.
Top SAW cards:
- Vertigo - 89% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
- Anubis - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the Portuguese team is giving up the Mirage card.
Sangal's form
The 43rd ranked team in the world has already crashed out of ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe by showing mediocre play in the distance and against weaker opponents.
After that, the European team got off to a good start in the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, although they even managed to lose to the questionable Swedes from GODSENT.
As for their performance in the CCT North Europe Series 4, Sangal had a hard time making the playoffs, losing to Astralis Talent and SINNERS in the Swiss.
Sangal's latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to GODSENT.
- A 0-2 defeat to SINNERS.
- 1-2 defeat of PALOMA.
- Beat MOUZ NXT 2-1.
- 2-0 win over HONORIS.
Sangal's best cards:
- Overpass - 64% wins.
- Mirage - 62% of wins.
- Vertigo - 62% wins.
- Inferno - 59% wins.
In turn, Sangal do not play on Nuke.
SAW - Sangal encounter statistics
In the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at CCT South Europe Series 2, the victory went to SAW (2-0).
Outlook for SAW - Sangal
Last time the teams played Ancient and Inferno, with the latter being a struggle. However, the Portuguese team even in such circumstances was the winner, just as in a month and a half, nothing much has changed.
And Sangal show that this championship is not among the priorities. And in terms of play the team is falling apart on the way. So, it's logical to see the Portuguese team as favourites.
Therefore, I'd recommend to bet on SAW to win.
