Izako Bears vs. lvlUP Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/21

Izako Bears and lvlUP will meet in the Group B opening match of the Nine to Five 2 Dawn, and Izako Boars is a slight favorite in this best of three map tilt. These sides have met once so far, and lvlUP won that match.

The Serbian team lvlUP made a couple of surprises at the Nine to Five 1, defeating Izako Boars and ALTERNATE aTTaX, but they failed to win a single map in the last two games against AGF and Wisla Krakow. They won four of the previous seven matches and have a 46.2% win rate over the past three months. In that span, lvlUP played well on Dust2 (66.7) and Inferno (60.0%), while they didn’t impress on Vertigo (33.3%).

Izako Boars suffered three consecutive defeats at the Nine to Five 1, including the one to lvlUP, but they bounced back with a 2-0 win over Unicorns of Love at the CSGOFAST Cup 5. The Polish side is looking for revenge here for a recent loss to lvlUP, but they are far from being impressive lately, considering they have a 33.3% win rate in the last three months. During that period, Izako Boars were decent on Train (60.0%) and Vertigo (60.0%), while they are without a win on Dust2 and with only 25.0% on Inferno.

Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (-102 @GG.BET)

Izako Boars are eager to get revenge from their loss to lvlUP, but their recent form is not convincing, so I’d suggest avoiding betting on the winner of this matchup. Three of Izako Boars’ last four matches produced a maximum of three maps, including the one against lvlUP. so I am going with over 2.5 maps here.
