Bad News Eagles and UNGENTIUM will meet in the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 42: Europe. Something the Kosovar team is not impressive not only with naked results, but also with the whole game.
Against this background, the Poles, although they are outsiders, can make their shot. Moreover, I would not say that UNGENTIUM has nothing to surprise the opponent, who, it seems to me, was very blown away.
Bad News Eagles Uniform
The 35th team of the world ranking managed to fail in the qualifications for Flow FiReLEAGUE 2022, where they lost to MASONIC very quickly and went to rest.
After that, the Kosovar team went to the Tipsport Prague Cup 2022, where they took only 3rd-4th place. Well, what can I say, given all the Bad News Eagles regalia in the spring?
In fact, the team has lost its style and rolled back to its previous level.
Latest Bad News Eagles results:

At the same time, the Kosovar team continues to refuse the Overpass map.
Form UNGENTIUM
The 58th team in the world ranking failed in the qualifiers for the IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe, making it to HLTV only once. At the same time, the Polish team did not develop at all in terms of the game, although it actively trained in the offseason.
However, UNGENTIUM usually bites hard in big (by its standards) tournaments. And I honestly expect that the team will try to prove themselves against the backdrop of the Bad News Eagles.

- Victory over ECSTATIC with a score of 16:12.

In turn, the Poles refuse the Inferno map.
Statistics of meetings Bad News Eagles — UNGENTIUM
Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Bad News Eagles won ESEA Winter 2021 Cash Cup 4 Europe 2:1.
- Bad News Eagles won the ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe Relegation with a score of 2:0.
In both cases, the teams played on Ancient and Mirage maps.
Prediction for the match Bad News Eagles — UNGENTIUM
I didn't like the start from the Bad News Eagles as the team is playing without passion. In such a situation, there is a chance to burn out, and the Poles do not mind joining the fight and taking advantage of their chance. At the same time, any Polish team plays well on Mirage and Nuke, where Bad News Eagles sometimes have difficulties. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the UNGENTIUM team.
