Match Prediction: Astralis - Heroic | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 12 EuropeThis match will be very interesting because both Danish teams are decent opponents. On one hand, there is Heroic, which places 2nd on the list of the best CS:GO teams in the world by HLTV but on the other hand, there is Astralis, which holds the 10th place on the same list, however, the team makes miracles after the return of gla1ve.
Each of the participants managed to play seven matches in the group stage. Heroic defeated G2 Esports, BIG, GODSENT, and OG. Only one match was over with a score of 2-0 in favor of Heroic, namely the battle against OG. Heroic lost one map in the rest of the matches, which reflects not the best gaming shape of the team. The Danes were defeated with a score of 1-2 in the fight with NAVI, ENCE, and AGO. Yes, they were close to a victory sometimes but the matches were over with a victory for their opponents as a result and, considering that the team lost to ENCE and AGO, there are questions to ask Heroic.
Regarding Astralis, they perform brilliantly at the current ESL Pro League Season 12. The team had an unsuccessful debut in the match with Complexity Gaming after gla1ve’s arrival, however, it rehabilitated in the next six matches and showed nice results. FaZe, NiP, and Spirit were not able to win a map against Astralis, while battles with Fnatic, mousesports, and Vitality were tough for both participants of the match and finished with a result of 2-1 in favor of the Danes. As we can see, it does not matter how good Astralis is playing, winning a map against them is a pretty common thing.
Summing up all the above-mentioned, we see that the Danes from both sides are used to playing matches with a score of 2-1, so we want to bet not on a victory of a particular team in this case but to use an additional market. A choice of the total maps are over 2.5 in this case is probably the best decision in terms of the chances to succeed and odds. Experts from bookmaker companies are skeptical of Heroic to be able to win a map against Astralis and determine the odds of the total are under 2.5 as 1.60. The odds of the total are over 2.5 are equal to 2.25 and we recommend this result. Astralis will probably win but Heroic will not give up without a fight. Due to this reason and the fact that odds on the favorite are only equal to 1.30, we do not recommend betting on the victory of Astralis.
