SG.pro vs. forZe Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/9

SG.pro and forZe will meet in the Group A opening match of the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 2, and forZe are firm favorites in this single map encounter. These sides have never met so far.

The Russian team forZe were on a three-game winning run before losing three of the previous four matches, including the most recent one to AGO at the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 1. They failed to win a single map in those three defeats and have a 58.0% win rate over the past three months. During that period, forZe performed well on Nuke (72.2%) and Inferno (61.1%), while they are without a win on Vertigo and below average on Overpass (28.6%).

Their compatriots SG.pro suffered the first defeat in four matches as they fell short to Syman at the Nine to Five 1 following three straight victories. SG.pro have been impressive at that tournament and are playing well recently, while they and have a 50.0% win rate in the last three months. In that span, SG.pro displayed convincing performances on Mirage (80.0%), while they had weaker results on Nuke (33.3%) and Vertigo (37.5%).

Pick: 1st Map Total Rounds Over 25.5 (-164 @GG.BET)

Although forZe hasn’t been at their best lately, I would say SG.pro have their chances to win this tilt, especially because it’s a single map matchup. Still, I consider forZe the favorites and they should get this one, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy. They did lose four consecutive maps, and I don’t think SG.pro will be pushovers here. I am backing the underdogs to win at least ten rounds and help ups winning this bet.
