Match forudsigelse: G2 Esports - Movistar Riders | Counter-Strike (CS2)

G2 and Movistar Riders will meet in the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022. It is unlikely that anyone expected to see the Spanish team here, which made a sensation the day before and closed Vitality with a score of 2:0.

Moreover, it must be said that Movistar Riders has gained crazy shape in recent weeks, not only having a confident start in Cologne, but also taking home ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack.

In turn, I don't have much faith in G2, because this team, if it wins, then with a scratch. At the same time, the team still cannot find their game, constantly starting from naked shooting. But this time the Spaniards themselves do not mind shooting.

Form G2

The sixth team in the world ranking failed at IEM Dallas 2022, where it only reached the quarterfinals. Moreover, the European team then lost to both ENCE and FURIA, in general, without showing us anything new and interesting.

Then G2 went to Lisbon to participate in BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022. But even there, the team was disappointed, because after a cool start in the group, they managed to lose to Vitality and stop in the semi-finals.

I don’t know how much patience NiKo will have, but you definitely won’t cook porridge with Aleksib. And if at G2 someone turns off individually, then they get defeats from Vitality, ENCE and other teams.

Latest G2 results:

Best G2 Maps:

• Inferno - 89% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 64% of wins.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

Let's not forget that the European team refuses the Overpass map.

Movistar Riders Uniform

The 14th team in the world ranking recently became the winner of the ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack. From the point of view of the result, the Spaniards are definitely great, but I would not say that they deserved to win the home championship in terms of the game.

However, at the start of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, the team definitely jumped above their heads. First, Movistar Riders made a comeback in the match against MIBR, snatching a defense victory on Ancient.

Well, after the team defeated Vitality, playing the Overpass card phenomenally. If the Spanish team keeps their spirits up, they can compete with G2 as well. Although, looking back, the opponent himself does not mind giving up the card.

Movistar Riders latest results:

• Victory over MIBR with a score of 16:3.
• Victory over Sprout with a score of 2:0.
• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.

The best maps of Movistar Riders:

• Nuke - 67% of wins.

• Ancient - 50% win rate.

Let me remind you that the Spanish team has long abandoned the Dust 2 map.

G2 meeting statistics - Movistar Riders

As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Dallas 2022, the victory went to G2 (16:5).

Prediction for the match G2 — Movistar Riders

I will say right away that now the Spanish team is much more confident than in Dallas. Plus we are talking about BO3, where Movistar Riders will have a little more choice.

As for G2, I still don't see the team among the favorites. Yes, a cool squad with first-class shooters, but what's the use of it if the team plays by chance.

Against this background, the Spaniards can definitely cause trouble, especially since they had already closed Vitality the day before. And if the guys analyze the opponent's game, they will get good chances.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the Movistar Riders team.
