Matchförutsägelse: Movistar Riders - Vitality | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Movistar Riders and Vitality will compete for the right to qualify for the IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In group stage. As for me, this is not the most unequivocal meeting, because, on the one hand, the Spaniards can surprise, but at the same time, Vitality has every chance to get a victory in the class.

In any case, Movistar Riders have improved over the past week, along the way showing too good an attack on Nuke, not to pick a card in such a match.

Therefore, remembering the problems of the Danish-French team, it is worth taking a little risk and believing in the representatives of the Iberian Peninsula, especially after the victory in Valencia.

Movistar Riders Uniform

The 14th team of the world ranking managed to play at the Roobet Cup 2022, which they did not even finish playing. As a result, the Spaniards went to the ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe, where they took only the third place.

Well, then the team became the winner of ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack, losing only one map in the championship. I won't say that Movistar Riders began to play much better, but the trend is noticeable.

Well, at the start of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, the Spanish team managed to snatch victory in MIBR, as it seems, having performed a small miracle. And if Movistar Riders plays a little more carefully, they can try to survive with Vitality.

• Nuke - 67% of wins.

• Ancient - 50% win rate.

Let me remind you that the Spanish team has long abandoned the Dust 2 map.

Form Vitality

The fifth team of the world ranking recently took second place in the BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, which, to put it mildly, became a sensation. Although in total the Danish-French team did not play as great as it seems, losing to G2 and NAVI along the way - and this is in the context of one selected championship.

Then Vitality rested and tried to teach the sniper to speak English, well, she devoted five minutes a day to a team game.

As a result, at the start of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, the wards of zonic managed to close TYLOO, having resolved all their issues while still on defense. In any case, I do not consider Vitality the favorite of the tournament, which makes it hard to believe that the team can close the Spaniards with a clean sheet.

Vitality's latest results:

• Victory over paiN with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over G2 with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to NAVI with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over TYLOO with a score of 16:9.

Best Vitality cards:

• Vertigo - 67% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 57% win rate
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

At the same time, the Danish-French team continues to refuse the Ancient map.

Prediction for the match Movistar Riders — Vitality

First of all, I will proceed from the logic that the Spanish team has a cool game built on the Nuke map. And if a miracle happens, then Movistar Riders will choose this map and get good chances to fight.

On the other hand, Vitality is still a big team from which everyone expects a lot. However, I still believe that the Danish-French team will not reveal their potential due to banal communication problems.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the Movistar Riders team.
