Prediction on match CS2 OG - FaZe Clan

OG and FaZe Clan will meet at IEM Fall 2021 Europe, where they will compete for the right to take only 9th place in the championship. I would not say that there is a favorite in the match, since both teams flooded the end of the group stage and deprived themselves of a place in the playoffs.

Form OG

The tenth team in the world rankings performed excellently in the group stage of IEM Fall 2021 Europe until the last round. Yes, in the event of a victory over MAD Lions, the team is likely to go to tie-breaks. But even that did not happen, as OG decided to merge MAD Lions, having formed in front of Woro2k. And after that, the team runs the risk of not going to the PGL Major.

Recent results OG:

• Victory over Sprout with a score of 16: 7.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 28:25.
• Defeat to Vitality with a score of 9:16.
• Defeat Dignitas with a score of 16:10.
• Defeat to MAD Lions with a score of 9:16.

Best OG cards:

• Inferno - 86% wins.
• Dust 2 - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

I believe that the team will once again abandon Vertigo and Ancient.

FaZe Clan Form

The fifth team in the world ranking in its group was on the second line for a long time, losing only to the NIP by the last round. However, the general logic was clear - the team needed a victory over Fiend. But FaZe Clan decided to merge the incomprehensible Bulgarians who played three AWPs (what is that?). So it turned out that the team almost lost the opportunity to go to the PGL Major, having the least RMR-points out of the remaining participants in the tournament.

Recent results FaZe Clan:

• Victory over fnatic with a score of 16: 5.
• Defeat to NIP with a score of 8:16.
• Defeat DBL PONEY with a score of 16:13.
• Victory over SKADE with a score of 16:13.
• Lost to Fiend with a score of 6:16.

Best FaZe Clan cards:

• Mirage - 62% wins.
• Dust 2 - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 64% wins.
• Ancient - 57% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

But if the team does not play on Vertigo in principle, then the performance on Nuke still leaves much to be desired.

OG - FaZe Clan meeting statistics

During the current season, the teams held four meetings:

• OG wins SteelSeries Invitational 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
• FaZe Clan victory at IEM Katowice 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
• OG won in the closed qualifier for IEM Summer 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
• FaZe Clan's victory at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2021 with a score of 2: 1.

At the same time, the last game still had to remain in the memory.

Forecast for the match OG - FaZe Clan

I don’t know what to say in this case, since both teams are not worthy of victory. Although OG's play in a group seemed more interesting to me, FaZe Clan has a clear advantage in the form of the Ancient card, on which the opponent does not play at all. At the same time, we must not forget that OG is definitely stronger than FaZe Clan on Inferno. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Card Total.
