Astralis Talent and MOUZ NXT will fight in the second match of the second gaming day of WePlay Academy League Season 5. According to betting experts, MOUZ NXT is the clear favorite of this confrontation. Bookmakers believe that the favorite has a 67% chance of winning, which equates to a coefficient of 1.40. I propose to get acquainted with the participants of the meeting and consider in more detail their game form and determine how it would be best to place here.
Astralis Talent Game Uniform
Astralis Talent were completed in March of this year. The youth roster of Astralis includes Fessor and brzer, who have several victories in small tournaments and have earned more than $17,000 and $10,000 in prize money, respectively, which indicates a good experience for esportsmen.
Representatives of the HLTV portal put Astralis Talent in 98th place in their top. The team played the last match today as part of the ongoing WePlay Academy League Season 5, and it is worth focusing on this. The meeting was held against NAVI Junior and it did not end well for the Danes. The team gave a good fight and played two series of overtimes with the youth roster of the Born to Win, after which the team was finally defeated with a score of 20-22. If it was a Bo3 match, then the Danes would most likely make at least a comeback, but we are dealing with a group stage and Bo1 matches, and therefore we have to take this fact for granted. On July 11, Astralis Talent took part in the POWER Ligaen Season 20 small tournament, where they lost the first match against DREAM with a score of 0-2 and were eliminated from the tournament. We conclude that the team is not in the best playing condition.
In the match against MOUZ NXT, they have even less chance of winning, since the latter are quite good, which I will talk about later.

MOUZ NXT Game Uniform
MOUZ NXT look more attractive in this matchup in almost every way. Firstly, the roster has gathered quite experienced players for this level, four of whom have already earned prize money of more than $50,000 or close to this amount. Secondly, the team is in excellent playing shape, which was shown in the first match of the ongoing WePlay Academy League Season 5. The team closed the debut match against Eternal Fire Academy with a score of 16-7, without experiencing any problems. Previously, the team took part in the third season of REPUBLEAGUE. There, the team took 5th-6th place, having won two victories against Enterprise and forZe and suffered two losses against ex-MAD Lions and Fnatic. As for the fourth season of the WePlay Academy League, MOUZ NXT became the winners there. All this makes this team the clear favorite of the meeting for me. By the way, HLTV put this team in 42nd place in their top.

Conclusion
MOUZ NXT are in excellent gaming shape and their skills are rightly assessed by both the HLTV portal and experts from bookmakers. I believe that here you can safely bet not only on the victory of MOUZ NXT, but also pay attention to alternative markets such as Handicap rounds MOUZ NXT -2.5 and -3.5. The odds for these outcomes are quite generous, and the chance of their passage is quite high. The odds for a win are equal to 1.40, and the handicap of the MOUZ NXT rounds -2.5 and -3.5 is estimated at 1.60 and 1.80. In this case, I would choose the latter, since both the chance of passage is high and the reward is good. Don't forget that MOUZ NXT's map pool is stronger, and Mirage, well played by Astralis Talent, is one of MOUZ NXT's favorite maps, which will play a big role in choosing a map for the Danes.
Final bet: Handicap -3.5 cards in favor of MOUZ NXT with odds of 1.80
