Match forudsigelse: sAw - forZe | CS2 (CS:GO)

SAW and forZe will compete for the right to reach the semi-finals of the ESL Challenger League Season 43: Europe. I have concerns about the Portuguese team, which seems to be going confidently, and then loses to FTW.

In turn, forZe continues to test the updated roster, changing different players. However, on a good day, the team shows such a game that you are surprised at the current situation.

In general, here I would not look in the direction of SAW, since the team is clearly weaker at a distance. Plus, you need to take into account the statistics that speak in favor of forZe.

SAW form

The 34th team in the world ranking completely failed at the Elisa Masters Espoo 2022, where they got only one victory over Complexity and could not make it to the playoffs.

Then the Portuguese team managed to get an obvious victory over Movistar Riders at ESL Masters Spain Season 12. On the other hand, SAW became only the second in OMEN WGR Retake Season 5, although the team already played badly there.

Latest SAW results:

• Defeat from 500 with a score of 17:19.
• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over GTZ with a score of 19:16.
• 2:1 victory over FTW.
• Lost to FTW with a score of 1:2.

Best SAW cards:

• Ancient - 78% of wins.
• Overpass - 62% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 57% win rate
• Nuke - 55% win rate.
• Vertigo - 54% of wins.

Let me remind you that the Portuguese team has not played on the Mirage map for a long time.

forZe form

The 39th team of the world ranking so far continues to fight in the Swiss stage of the CCT North Europe Series #2, where they managed to get two wins and suffer one defeat.

As for the start of the ESL Challenger League Season 43: Europe, here forZe outplayed Fnatic Rising and 9INE. In general, the Russian team holds a certain bar, but is still in an intermediate state.

And yet, in fact, the team is much stronger individually, which can be the key to victory.

forZe latest results:

• Victory over Tricked with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by K23 with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2:1.

• Overpass - 70% of wins.
• Mirage - 56% of wins.
• Inferno - 55% win rate.

In turn, the Russian team has been banning the Vertigo map for a long time.

SAW meeting statistics - forZe

Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:

• forZe's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A with a score of 2:1.
• forZe's victory in the ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe with a score of 2:0.

Interestingly, in both cases, the teams played on Nuke and Dust 2 maps.

Prediction for the match SAW — forZe

It seems that the Portuguese team will once again show nothing, faced with strong shooting. And with SAW, this story has been going on for a long time. In turn, forZe has a game, if you forget about the recent defeat from Into the Breach. The rest of the guys have enough advantages. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the forZe team.
