BIG vs. OG, Preview & Prediction - Free 9/4 CS:GO

BIG defeated OG in the previous two H2H encounters and is hoping to get another win, but OG is looking to make an upset and record its first victory at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe. A win for BIG would get them one step away from the playoffs, while OG can start packing their bags if they fail to get a win here.

BIG Team Stats and Latest Results

BIG won the trophy and $35,000 at the DreamHack Open Summer 2020 Europe with a 2-0 victory over Heroic but didn’t have luck at the ESL One Cologne 2020 Europe, where they suffered a couple of defeats to Sprout and NiP. They opened the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe with a convincing 2-0 win over AGO. BIG won ten of the previous 13 matches.

When it comes to the maps in the last three months, BIG was invincible on Overpass and displayed dominating performances on Dust2 (92.9%), Mirage (73.3%), and Nuke (72.7%). The only map on which BIG was below average was Vertigo (40.0%). BIG’s current lineup consists of tabseN (1.13 rating), tiziaN (1.03), syrsoN (1.18), XANTARES (1.16), and k1to (1.02). These players have been playing together on 60 maps since June 2020 and have a record of 44 wins and 16 losses.

OG Team Stats and Latest Results

OG has been playing in a hot and cold form recently as they failed to connect two wins in the previous two weeks. They made it to the quarter-final of the ESL One Cologne 2020 Europe but fell short to G2. OG had an opportunity to get revenge for that loss in the opening match here at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe and had a 1-0 lead, but G2 responded with wins on Train and Mirage to seal the deal. OG won five of the last ten games.

During the previous three months, OG played exceptionally well on Inferno (80.0%) and was solid on Nuke (61.1%), but didn’t impress on Overpass (25.0%) and Train (30.8%). OG’s current lineup has enough experience to go toe-to-toe with BIG as their members played together on 76 maps since June 2020. The lineup consists of NBK- (1.01), valde (1.12), Aleksib (1.06), ISSAA (1.07), and mantuu (1.12), and they have a record of 40 wins and 36 losses.

BIG vs. OG H2H Record

These rivals have met on three occasions so far, and BIG is leading the series 2-1 after winning the previous two duels.

BIG vs. OG Betting Preview

BIG is playing in a better form than OG in the past few weeks and they won the last two H2H encounters, so I am giving them an advantage in this one. OG is a good team and could get one map here, but I don’t think they will make an upset. The odds on BIG to win are quite attractive and I am backing them to do it.
