Forutsigelse av kamp: Natus Vincere - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 7 EuropeAt the moment, Natus Vincere are one of the best teams of the professional CS:GO stage and hold the fourth place in the rating of the best collectives according to HLTV. Literally several days ago, S1mple and Co demonstrated a great game during the tournament DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018, where they finished in 2, letting Astralis become the winners of the grand final.
As for ESL Pro League Season 7, “Born to win” won the slot at the LAN finals and now they are getting to the match against Fnatic, holding the fourth position in the group (six collectives will get to the next stage). Natus Vincere chose the map “Train”, which is their best map at present. Zeus and Co have a win rate of 63.1% on this map which is the best indicator for the collective. Within 2018, the team have played 18 matches at the professional level on the mentioned map and won at 11 out of them.
Meanwhile, Fnatic also have a good win rate at “Train”, but in 2018 they played only at 10 meetings and 8 out of them were won by them. We also should take into account that the teams were weaker then their opponents and the only collective among the best 10 teams was NiP. During ESL Pro League Season 7, the team have no chance to get to the final stage as they took the 11 place in the division and there is a huge space of 13 points between them and the sixth position while there are only 2 matches left.
Natus Vincere are a definite favourite of their pick so bookmakers set the coefficient of their win of 1.6. The triumph of Fnatic was evaluated as 2.1. We think that Natus Vincere are to win on Train, but the fact that the team have already taken a slot to the LAN final can result in their loss.
At the second match, the home team is considered to be Fnatic, so they chose the map “Cobblestone”. JW and Co often use the map and within 2018 they played 20 meetings on Cobblestone on the professional stage. The collective played only 11 matched, but approximately at half of them, they played against top teams.
Natus Vincere choose Cobblestone rarely and in 2018 they played only eight meetings on the map so the percentage of their wins is 50%. Out of these 8 maps, Edward and Co fought with teams who are among Top 10 World Teams according to HLTV three times and all of them were lost by the Ukrainian team.
We also would like to mark that Fnatic and Natus Vincere met on Cobblestone literally a week ago during the group stage of DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018 and then the Swedish collective celebrated the win ending the match by the score of 16:11.
The bookmakers can't define the favourite at the meeting so they set almost equal coefficients so Natus Vincere got the coefficient of 1.87, while Fnatic’s win is evaluated as 1.84. We think that Fnatic look more confident and are more experienced than their opponents and have more chances to win with their pick.
As a result, we wouldn't advise you to invest your money into Fnatic’s win on the first map, but to trust JW and Co on Cobblestone. As we expect, all the bo2 are to end up with a draw.
