BIG Academy will face players from OG Academy in the second match of today's gaming day as part of WePlay Academy League Season 5. Experts from bookmakers are almost sure that BIG Academy will win and determine their chances of winning as ~68%, which is equivalent to a coefficient of 1, 38.
Does OG Academy really have that little chance of winning? How best to put? Or is it better to use alternative markets? I will try to get answers to these questions by looking at the game form of both teams.
BIG Academy uniform
BIG Academy is currently ranked 53rd in the list of the best CS:GO rosters in the world according to HLTV and the team is really in great shape. The team never lost during the WePlay Academy League Season 5.
BIG Academy have already fought their opponents five times and their 100% win rate suggests that the odds of 1.45 to win are quite high. It is noteworthy that the meetings usually ended fairly quickly. The Germans lost 2 and 5 rounds in the fight against Apeks Rebel, and also 9 rounds were given in the match against ENCE Academy and FURIA Esports, and only the meeting with Young Ninjas ended with a result of 16-13 and was close to overtime.
The map pool at BIG Academy is quite good. The team shows excellent results on Overpass, Mirage and Vertigo, having 100.0%, 72.7% and 70.0% win rates respectively. On Dust 2, their win percentage is 66.7%, which is also good, but not as good as in other maps. Nuke and Ancient are the Achilles' heel of the German team. Inferno BIG Academy is not played at all.

OG Academy uniform
OG Academy is currently in 80th place in the list of the best CS:GO rosters according to HLTV. The team showed mixed results during the championship. The team played in five matches and won three times.
The team failed to win the fight against Young Ninjas and lost even to the main outsider of Group B Apeks Rebels. It should be noted that OG Academy were close to victory and fought in additional rounds, however, nevertheless, the roster was defeated in the last match. In the fight against ENCE Academy (twice) and Young Ninjas, OG Academy prevailed. OG Academy are not outsiders of Group B, but it's hard to call their game form good either. Against the background of the BIG Academy, the team does not even look confident.
As for the mappool, this part of OG Academy is almost the only one that has no complaints. Their selection of cards is really good and even somewhat similar to what BIG Academy boasts. OxygeN and his friends, like BIG Academy, like to play Overpass and Vertigo, and therefore I do not exclude the possibility that we will be able to watch one of these maps today. Ancient and Nuke OG Academy also do not like, but on Dust 2 they can also equalize in strength.
However, on Overpass, one of their favorite maps, OG Academy failed to beat Apeks Rebels, and if this map is chosen against BIG Academy, then OG Academy has little chance.

Conclusion
BIG Academy looks like the clear favorite for this bout for a variety of reasons.
The team as a whole looks stronger and plays better on the favorite OG Academy maps than the players from the OG academy.
I think that in this case it is best to do without additional markets. It is possible that the teams will drag out until overtime and continue their confrontation there.
Final bet: BIG Academy to win at odds of 1.38
