FaZe Clan and Outsiders will face off in the third match of today's gaming day in order to compete for extra points that will help the teams reach the playoffs. According to the bookmakers, FaZe Clan have a 66% chance of winning, which is equivalent to a coefficient of 1.42.
This meeting definitely needs to be analyzed and understood how it will be best to bet in this case. Is it sure the best market for this business is the victory of FaZe Clan? Or maybe an alternative in the form of Total Cards or Handicap or Correct Score would be better? Here we will deal with you!
FaZe Clan Game Uniform
FaZe Clan is the first team in the world that, although it is in a good gaming shape, had some difficulties with various opponents before the start of ESL Pro League Season 16.
The team made a good start in the 16th season of the ESL Pro League and has already beaten such event participants as FTW and MIBR. If everything is clear with the former, then in the fight against MIBR they had some difficulties on the Dust 2 map, and no wonder, because this is their weakest map. Because of this, they lost there and subsequently extended the meeting with a score of 2-1.
In terms of other maps, FaZe Clan makes me very happy and shows excellent performance on three of them at once, namely on Nuke, Mirage and Inferno. Nuke is generally the trump card of Twistzz and his teammates, since they have never lost in 8 matches played there recently. Mirage and Inferno are worse, but still very good, namely 80% and 72.7% winrate with 5 and 11 games played there. Opponents from the Outsiders will find it quite difficult to counter their opponents and win at the map veto stage.
Overpass and Ancient are weaker in FaZe Clan, and they are not worth playing on Dust 2 and Vertigo at all.

Outsiders uniform
The “outsiders”, who are on the 17th line of the HLTV world ranking even before the start of ESL Pro League Season 16, played for the last time in July, where they took 13-16th place at IEM Cologne 2022. Despite the break and seemingly poor playing form earlier, the start of the players turned out to be very vigorous. As a result, the team won the fight against BIG and FTW without losing a single map.
In terms of map selection, Outsiders are just as strong as FaZe Clan. They also play well on Mirage and Inferno, however, unlike Twistzz and his teammates, Jame and his teammates feel comfortable on Dust 2. Based on this, we can make a bold conclusion that the teams will not play on this map, FaZe Clan are very likely to ban this card.
Unfortunately for FaZe, the teams won't play Nuke either, as the Outsiders don't play there at all.

Conclusion
Outsiders, apparently, can compete with FaZe Clan, but they will only have such an opportunity on Dust 2, which Twistzz and company do not play at all. In all other cases, I do not see any chance of taking at least one card. Mirage? The Outsiders have played there only 1 time lately and they don't have enough practice. Inferno? So this map is also loved by representatives of FaZe Clan. Vertigo? FaZe is also not played on it.
I believe we can see Inferno, Mirage and Ancient/Overpass playing here. In any such scenario, the victory should go to FaZe Clan's treasury.
If we consider some alternative markets, then I think that the good game form of Outsiders and the ability of FaZe Clan to give one card in matches will lead us to think about Total over 2.5 cards with a coefficient of 1.95 or Handicap +1.5 cards in favor of Outsiders with odds of 1.52.
However, in this particular situation, I prefer a simple FaZe Clan Win with odds of 1.42 and advise you to avoid unnecessary risks. If during the selection of cards you see Dust 2 in the pool, then you can safely bet on Handicap +1.5 cards in favor of Outsiders or Total over 2.5 cards.
Winning on FaZe Clan can be included in an express bet with G2 Esports to get a juicier odd with a good chance of profit.
Final bet: FaZe Clan win 1.42
