Matchförutsägelse: Team Liquid - Movistar Riders | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 16Team Liquid will face Movistar Riders in the third confrontation in Group D of the ongoing ESL Pro League Season 16. Although the teams are close in position in the ranking, analysts and betting experts are almost sure that Team Liquid will win. The probability of the triumph of nitr0 and his teammates in this case, according to the coefficient in the form of 1.30, is 72%.
So is it worth betting on Liquid to win here and on such a low odds, or is it still worth considering some other option? We will get the answer to this question in the course of the analysis.
Team Liquid jersey
The last match with Liquid took place a month ago. Then the team put an end to its march to victory at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, defeating Heroic in the final. In the same place, the roster defeated such Tier-1 teams as G2 Esports, Complexity Gaming and NiP, but lost against Natus Vincere.
However, it's been almost a month since then, so the players may have lost their grip to some extent. Like it or not, we will find out in the third match of Group D in the ESL Pro League. It is worth recalling that at ESL Pro League Season 16 the team will play together with YEKINDAR. However, this will not be the first time for the team and the player, as he already played in the Liquid roster as a replacement for BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 at the end of August. It turned out then, by the way, very well and Liquid took 1-3 place in the standings.
But what really pleases is that the teams have a good win rate on four maps at once. Best of all, nitr0 and company show themselves on Mirage. There, for 4 times played, the roster has a 100% win rate. The team has the same indicator at Inferno, but there they performed only 1 time, and this was done, by the way, just against Movistar Riders, against whom they will play. On Vertigo and Dust 2, the Americans also have a good win rate in the form of 75% and 66.7%. On Overpass and Ancient, although this indicator lags behind, however, 50% of wins cannot be called frankly bad either.

Movistar Riders uniform
Movistar Riders are on the 5th place in the ranking from HLTV. They went there on September 19 and overtook G2 Esports and Team Vitality. We can see this for the first time, but being in the top 5 does not mean that the team has an excellent playing shape. As we could see before, the last 3 matches held on the professional stage ended in defeat for the Spaniards, despite the fact that the last two were played as part of the qualification for GAM3RS_X EU Champions: Fall 2022. Was there low motivation? Perhaps, but in this tournament it would be possible to earn an invite to BLAST Fall Showdown 2022. However, at EPL #16 they will really have more motivation.
Ancient is pretty good for the team and the team has a win rate of 80%. If Liquid does not play Nuke at all now, then their Spanish opponents, in turn, play there quite often and have a 71.4% win rate. On Vertigo, the win rate is 66.7%, and on the rest of the maps they are better off not playing, since there, at best, Overpass has 50%, and Inferno and Mirage in general 33.3%.

Conclusion
I don't see any prospects for Movistar Riders to win here at all. In my opinion, Liquid will win without any problems. Liquid play +/- well on all maps, and on some even excellent, but Movistar has big problems with Inferno and Mirage. For this reason, I think that Team Liquid will pull out the game in class and close the meeting with a score of 2-0. The playing form of the teams and recent performances also act as an advocate for this market, and the coefficient there is 1.97, which is not bad at all.
Final bet: Team Liquid to win 2-0 at odds of 1.97
