Matchförutsägelse: Vitality - OG | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Vitality and OG will meet in the Long Cognega Quarterfinals of the group stage of IEM Rio 2023. I very much doubt that degster and company will be able to prove themselves in this championship, as the recent games do not inspire confidence.

In turn, the Danish-French team is showing results so far. Yes, in some places Vitality gives silly matches, but at their level the team shows confidence.

In general, OG clearly postponed changes in the lineup by the recent hit in the majors, but objectively, everything is very bad. So here I would lean on a logical win for the Vitality team.

Vitality's form

The sixth ranked team in the world fell in the play-offs of the recent ESL Pro League Season 17 as they were already defeated by ENCE in the quarter-finals.

The Danish-French side went to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B where they beat Astralis, Ninjas in Pyjamas and BIG but also Ledgeil 9INE.

The good thing is that Vitality showed a cool game in the teebraggs, with which they beat G2 Esports and Monte, earning their slot in the "legends" of the majors.

Vitality's latest results:

• Victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas by a score of 16-13.
• A 0-2 loss to 9INE.
• 2-1 win over BIG.
• Beat G2 Esports 2-0.
• 2-0 win over Monte.

Vitality's best scores:

• Nuke - 86% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Vertigo - 75% wins.
• Anubis - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 57% wins.
• Mirage - 57% wins.

Let's not forget that the Danish-French team hasn't appeared on the Ancient map for a long time.

Form OG

The nineteenth team of the world ranking failed at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, after which they failed to qualify for IEM Dallas 2023.

As for the performances in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, here the European team had a moment to lose FaZe Clan and GamerLegion, questioning their adequacy.

However, by some miracle, OG was able to rectify their situation with three victories over SAW, 1WIN and Falcons to steal a slot in the Major. On the other hand, the team's game is as good as gone.

OG's latest results:

• Defeat to FaZe Clan by a score of 10-16.
• Defeat at the hands of GamerLegion 9-16.
• 2-1 win over SAW.
• Beat 1WIN 2-0.
• 2-0 win over Falcons.

Best OGs:

• Mirage - 65% wins.
• Ancient - 62% wins.

In turn, the European squad is still missing on the Nuke map.

Vitality - OG encounter statistics

In the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 17, the victory went to Vitality (2-0).

Vitality - OG match prediction

I don't think there's any The International riga here, as OG is clearly not the kind of team that can strain Vitality. In addition, the Danish-French team usually closes down problematic opponents, which OG belongs to. And even ruggah's charges themselves have been asking for a rotation for a long time, but they keep postponing the necessary changes. Therefore, in this case, I'd recommend betting on Vitality to win.
