Lyngby Vikings vs. Tikitakan Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/20

Lyngby Vikings and Tikitakan are facing in the Group A opening match of the Nine to Five 2 Dawn, and Tikitakan are slight favorites in this best of three map clash. These sides have never met before.

The Danish side Lyngby Vikings formed the lineup recently and haven’t had a lot of success since as they lost each of the previous five matches. They managed to win just one of the last nine maps and have a lousy 33.3% win rate over the past three months. In that period, Lyngby Vikings were unbeaten on Nuke and were excellent on Vertigo (75.0%), while they were without a win on Overpass, Train, and Mirage.

Tikitakan are even younger side considering they formed this lineup at the beginning of July and played only five matches since. After losing the first-ever game to Secret, the European team recorded three straight victories and didn’t allow a single map in the process. They even took a 1-0 lead over sAw at the ESEA Advanced Season 34 Europe but lost in the end. Tikitakan played on Mirage on three occasions and are unbeaten thus far, while they have a 75.0% win rate on Dust2. On the other hand, they are winless on Train and are 50.0% on Vertigo.

Pick: Tikitakan to win (-122 @GG.BET)

Despite that mentioned defeat to sAw, Tikitakan are in a much better form than Lyngby Vikings, and I think that the fact they didn’t play a game in seven days will not affect them here. Lyngby Vikings are clearly struggling at the moment, and that’s why I am backing Tikitakan to get a win. Look out for Tikitakan’s Djur (1.25 rating), who is easily the best player on both teams.
