Prediction on match CS2 Astralis - Movistar Riders
Astralis and Movistar Riders will meet in the second round of the IEM Fall 2021 Europe group stage. I'm not sure that the Spaniards will become a problem for the Danish team, which already in the first match showed a clear intention to sort out in the group with everyone who is somehow weaker.
Astralis shape
The ninth team of the world ranking continues to play without the main captain, who is all waiting for the birth of a child. However, this fact did not prevent the team from closing Endpoint in the first round, showing a confident Overpass. Moreover, the leader in statistics is Xyp9x, which has clearly changed on the LAN. And I am sure that the Danes will not get problems from the Spaniards, who are still too early for TIER-1.
Recent Astralis results:
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Liquid with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat against Vitality with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Endpoint with a score of 16: 7
Best Astralis Cards:
- Dust 2 - 62% wins.
- Nuke - 62% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
Do not forget that the team will ban Mirage again. In this case, the Vertigo card should become the second ban.
Movistar Riders uniform
The 42nd World Ranked Team is in great shape with several victories a week earlier. Keep in mind, however, that Movistar Riders are hard to call confident LAN fighters. And in the first round, the team did not cope with Heroic, and even on the Dust 2 map (if anything, the Danes did not play on the map for half a year).
Recent Movistar Riders results:
- Victory over AGO with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over SKADE with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat from Endpoint with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over LDLC with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 10:16.
Best Movistar Riders Cards:
- Inferno - 86% wins.
- Nuke - 69% win.
- Vertigo - 62% wins.
- Overpass - 57% wins.
At the same time, the Spaniards are unlikely to risk playing Dust 2, Mirage or Ancient.

Prediction for the match Astralis - Movistar Riders
I don't see much point in writing all the pros and cons, since the Danes should easily close the meeting without even breaking through Total. In addition, the Spanish team does not have much experience in playing LAN tournaments, dissolving into the server. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Astralis team with Handicap (-3.5).
