Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-2.5) for Vitality – 1.92.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Maps Under 26.5 – 2.03.
Match Winner – Handicap (-2.5) for Vitality
In our opinion, Vitality will be able to deal with their opponent in the upcoming game. The Danes have failed to beat the French in past matches, and this month they already lost to them with a blowout on the Mirage. If you look at the statistics of the Astralis, you can see that Astralis quite rarely beat opponents of the Tier-1 level.

— Astralis Counter-Strike (@AstralisCS)
Astralis has not won a major tournament in a long time, so they are ranked 12th in the world rankings. The team managed to qualify for the majors, but failed to make it to the legendary stage. Let us remind you that in their two decisive matches, they were defeated by Spirit (0-2) and Liquid (0-2), and in both cases they didn’t even take a map.
Remarkably, the team didn’t make any decisive moves after their unsuccessful performance. It should be stressed that, Astralis now has the highest percentage of winnings on the Nuke.
Vitality:
Vitality is now in 10th position in the world rankings. The team has never been able to regain their previous level, even though they made changes to their squad a few months ago. In the majors they beat Liquid (2-0) and BIG (2-1), but lost (1-2) to Heroic in the play-offs, in spite of putting up a decent fight against their tough opponents.
We should emphasize that the Vitality now plays on all maps except Ancient, but only on Inferno and Dust2 have more than 65% win rate. In the roster they have one of the most talented players in the world, ZywOo, but he can’t reach his maximum potential.
