Astralis and los kogutos will meet in the 1/8 finals of the third open qualifier at IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe. Somehow the Danish team stalled, while all the other favorites have already made it to the RMR tournament.
However, in this case, there is every right to believe that Astralis will solve all the problems and achieve its goal. First, the team hit the easy net. Secondly, the Poles from los kogutos are not at all the opponent who should lose.
Although, we can remember the failures of the Danish team before, but now there is no time to make mistakes.
Astralis shape
The fourth team of the world ranking became the winner of the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where, after losing to Ninjas in Pajamas, they got several good victories and, as it seemed, made them talk about themselves again.
However, at the same time, the Danish team failed in the open qualifiers for IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe. Moreover, Astralis was invariably inferior to some outsiders and little-known rivals, making the fans only laugh.

los cogutos form
The 91st team in the world ranking became the winner of ESEA Season 41: Open Division - Europe back in July. Then the Polish team had a series of failures and early exits from the qualifiers.
The same applies to the current IEM Road to Rio 2022 qualifiers for Europe. Yes, los kogutos have already been lucky enough to break into HLTV and get into Astralis. Perhaps the Poles will try to catch on to the game. And yet I hardly believe in another failure from the Danes.

Prediction for the match Astralis — los kogutos
I don't believe in sensationalism, although the Poles, if they hit a Nuke card, can fight and hold on to their defensive rounds. And yet, Astralis must close this qualifier and enter the RMR tournament, otherwise we will be disbanded.
In any case, I would recommend Astralis to win, but in terms of betting, I considered Handicap by rounds (+8.5) for the los kogutos team. Still, the Polish team can take their rounds, and the Danes can't wake up before the start of the match.
