Match Prediction: NaVi - ENCE | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 12 EuropeENCE has not the most stable shape now. The Finns periodically lost and won in the last eight matches. They place 26th in the world rate. They have recently managed to defeat Heroic, FaZe Clan, and x6tence but the team lost a match to G2 Esports and they were not able to beat Heroic twice. The remarkable thing is that ENCE had a long break from official matches. They had a match against Heroic on September 2 and before that the previous official match had been played on July 1. Natus Vincere, by the way, represents a bigger threat than the majority of the above-mentioned teams.
NAVI, in its turn, holds the 7th place on the list of the best CS:GO rosters by HLTV. Regarding their gaming shape, it is difficult to say something now because they have not played a lot recently but they definitely had more practice than their opponents from ENCE. They managed to play 4 times in the last 3 weeks, they achieved victory twice. They were not able to beat Complexity Gaming and NiP, however, they defeated mousesports and GODSENT. The last match was won with a score of 2-1, just like in ENCE's case.
We consider four factors to decide. First of all, Natus Vincere is a stronger team than ENCE, generally. Secondly, the team places way higher in the world rate than ENCE. This factor might not represent the full situation with their current gaming shape but we will not ignore this fact. Thirdly, NAVI has already played one match and it means that the chance they will lose is way smaller. The first matches are Natus Vincere's sickness and in GODSENT's case, they even won, which can reflects their good preparation for the tournament. The fourth reason for our confidence about NAVI is the fact that they play together. The team has gathered at a bootcamp and plays in the LAN format, sitting together in a training house. This definitely improves the team's moral and their chances to prevail.
Due to the above-mentioned reasons, we consider NAVI to be the obvious favorite to win the upcoming match. Experts from bookmaker companies make the same conclusion. Odds on the victory of Natus Vincere are equal to 1.55. This ratio is more than just good in this situation, so we recommend betting on the victory of Natus Vincere. You can try to bet on the additional market in the form of the total maps are over 2.5 or the maps handicap -1.5 (NAVI). Odds are 2.00 in the first case and 2.70 in the second one. Despite this, we think that it will be better just to bet on the victory of Natus Vincere and make 1.55 on the sum of your bet.
