Match Prediction: Vitality - G2 Esports | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Vitality and G2 will compete for the right to reach the grand final of ESL Pro League Season 16. I'm not sure about the prospects of the Danish-French team, because the day before the Samurai looked very worthy.

However, it is necessary to take into account the integrity of the duel, since this season the teams managed to play six matches at once, each having won three victories.

Yes, and the statistics cannot single out one favorite, since now Vitality and G2 have a series of seven and eight victories in a row, respectively. Therefore, in this case, I would try to figure out the layouts for the third card, since such a scenario occurred in five of the six matches of the teams.

Form Vitality

The tenth team of the world ranking has once again updated its roster, this time signing Spinx. As a result, the Danish-French team came to BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 in Copenhagen, where they played well in the group, but then moved on to the Play-In and did not even make it to the autumn finals of the season.

However, in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, the Danish-French team outdid themselves, as they won all five victories and reached the quarterfinals without a chance.

Well, here, after almost a month, Vitality coped with Outsiders by experience. But personally, I didn’t like the game of the wards of zonic, because they still made mistakes and relied on the game of only one person.

Vitality's latest results:

• Victory over Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 2:0.
• 2:1 victory over fnatic.
• Victory over Natus Vincere with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 2:0.
• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:0.

Best Vitality cards:

• Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
• Inferno - 71% of wins.
• Vertigo - 62% of wins.
• Overpass - 60% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

At the same time, the Danish-French team continues to refuse the Ancient map.

Form G2

The sixth team in the world ranking had a very controversial start in the second half of the season, having started their journey within the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 with a failure in the group. However, further G2 got two wins out of three in the Play-In, thanks to which they made it to the autumn finals of the season.

After that, the team came to the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, where they unexpectedly got five dry wins. And in terms of the game, G2 looked very worthy, for which it deserved a direct ticket to the quarterfinals.

Here the team went even further, as they managed to survive in the game against NAVI and get a landslide victory. And if the guys continue like this, they risk bringing G2 their first victory in many years.

Latest G2 results:

• Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over FTW with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2:0.
• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over NAVI with a score of 2:1.

Best G2 Maps:

• Ancient - 100% win rate.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 60% of wins.
• Mirage - 60% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.

It is worth recalling that the G2 team has traditionally abandoned the Overpass map.

Prediction for the match Vitality — G2

Both teams have both strengths and weaknesses, meaning not only cards, but also mutual understanding on the server. However, I would not look for a favorite, because at this stage and at this level, any team can turn on to the fullest.

In any case, we have eloquent statistics that lead us to three cards. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
