Match forudsigelse: ENCE - Astralis | Counter-Strike (CS2)

ENCE and Astralis will meet in the final round of the Brazy Party 2023 group stage for the last play-offs from their quartet.

To be fair, both teams are showing questionable play. First of all, ENCE and Astralis managed to lose to SAW, which does not fit into the limits of accepted logic.

Secondly, you'd expect more from ENCE, considering they're going to the majors. Thirdly, the Danes are up and down. So here I won't be able to single out a favourite, recommending three cards.

ENCE form

The ninth ranked team in the world had a terrible showing at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they managed to suffer two defeats in BO1.

Next up, however, ENCE managed to wake up to pick up three wins over iNation, 500 and Cloud9 to find themselves in the majors and put all questions of viability to rest.

As for Brazy Party 2023's performance in the group stage, here the European squad was marked by a loss to SAW, but also beat GamerLegion and stayed afloat.

ENCE's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over iNation.
• Victory over 500 with a score of 2-0.
• 2-0 win over Cloud9.
• 1-2 defeat of SAW.
• 2-1 win over GamerLegion.

Top ENCE scores:

• Ancient - 83% wins.
• Mirage - 80% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 62% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

It's worth remembering that the European squad generally gives up on Inferno.

Astralis form

The seventeenth-ranked team in the world recently managed to qualify for IEM Dallas 2023 with three victories over Team Spirit, GODSENT and Cloud9 during the qualifying championship.

However, the Danish side failed to make it to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B as they suffered three defeats in four games.

Here the team marked a victory over GamerLegion in the group stage of Brazy Party 2023, but the day before Astralis showed a terrible game against SAW and ended up here.

Astralis' latest results:

• Defeat to Eternal Fire by a score of 7-16.
• A 2-1 win over Team Spirit.
• A 0-2 loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas.
• Beat GamerLegion 2-0.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of SAW.

Astralis top scorers:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Ancient - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 56% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

In turn, the Danish team still doesn't appear on the Anubis map.

Outlook for the ENCE vs Astralis match

It's hard to look for logic here when the dead Portuguese beat two top teams and make the play-offs. Judging by the game, ENCE and Astralis clearly didn't play for relegation, but they also didn't deserve anything more.

As for maps, we can expect Overpass or Ancient from the Danes, while ENCE will probably rely on Mirage. All in all, it's a stalemate. So in this case, I'd recommend betting 2.5 more on Total on the cards.
