Forutsigelse av kamp: fnatic - NiP | CS2 (CS:GO)

fnatic and Ninjas in Pyjamas will play in the semi-finals of the lower relegation grid for IEM Dallas 2023. If we were talking about a derby before, we are now seeing two dead teams.

Firstly, fnatic has never been able to find their game. Yes, there was a victory over Team Spirit, but it does not fundamentally change anything. In turn, ninjas seem to be somewhere close, but still show a weak game in terms of structure.

Still, in a face-to-face comparison, it's hard to see fnatic as the favourite. Therefore, here I would look closer to a win for the Ninjas in Pyjamas team, which is slightly stronger than their opponent at this point.

fnatic's form

The eleventh ranked team in the world actually failed in the recent ESL Pro League Season 17, where although it made it to the play-offs, it was defeated by FURIA already in the first round.

Around the same time, fnatic were in the play-offs of CCT North Europe Series 4, but even there managed to embarrass themselves with a terrible game and a defeat at the hands of Let us cook. At the same time, the boys also failed at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, Ledge and 9INE.

As for the performance in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, the European team managed to lose to GODSENT, thanks to the fact that the day before they slightly woke up and beat Team Spirit.

Latest fnatic results:

• A 1-2 defeat to Let us cook.
• Lost to FURIA 0-2.
• Lost to 9INE 1-2.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of GODSENT.
• Defeated Team Spirit 2-0.

Best fnatic scores:

• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 71% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

Don't forget that the European squad is most often denied by maps Anubis.

Ninjas in Pyjamas uniforms

The twentieth team of the world ranking also failed in the ESL Pro League Season 17, but there they didn't even make it to the play-offs after suffering shameful defeats against exotic opponents.

The squad also managed to drop out of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, where after Long Cogpeg's victory over OG they were defeated by Cloud9.

As for Long Songpeg in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, here Ninjas in Pyjamas again outplayed OG before again failing to cope with Cloud9, and by a similar score.

Ninjas in Pyjamas' latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Monte.
• 2-1 victory over OG.
• 2-0 win over OG.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Cloud9.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Cloud9.

Best Ninjas in Pyjamas:

• Vertigo - 78% wins.
• Nuke - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.

In turn, the Ninjas in Pyjamas team also often gives up maps Anubis.

Last season, the teams met once and won 16-13 at the IEM Rio Major 2022.

Prediction for fnatic vs Ninjas in Pyjamas

It's hard to say what fnatic needs to pick to feel comfortable and believe in the best. Even with the steep defence on the Overpass, there is nothing to catch in such a match, as the opponent will suffer their own round or two.

Ninjas in Pyjamas, on the other hand, although they have lost their last two matches, are no shame against Cloud9. And both times, the squad picked themselves up, which leaves some hope of a speedy recovery.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Ninjas in Pyjamas to win.
