RED Canids vs. BOOM, Preview & Prediction - Free 10/2 CS:GO
BOOM is a massive favorite to continue with a positive run and maintain a perfect record after four rounds in the group stage of the Tribo to Major 2020, but RED Canids will surely have an opportunity to make their life harder when the teams face on Friday. Both teams are expected to make it to the top 4 and secure playoffs, but the bookies still expect BOOM to win in this Best of 3 encounter without trouble.
RED Canids Team Stats and Latest Results
RED Canids opened this tournament with a pair of victories over Imperial and Keyd, but couldn’t make it three in a row against Sharks, who allowed them just 20 rounds on two maps. Given that Sharks and BOOM are the only unbeaten team at the Tribo to Major 2020 so far, this result wasn’t surprising. RED Canids won ten of the previous 13 matches.
When it comes to the maps in the last three months, RED Canids won their only appearance on Overpass, and displayed fine performances on Nuke (85.7% win rate) and Mirage (75.0%), while they didn’t play well on Vertigo (33.3%) and Dust2 (33.3%). RED Canids’ current lineup has been playing together since July 2020 and they appeared on 22 maps with a record of 15 wins and seven losses. The team members are DeStiNy (1.08 rating), KHTEX (1.01), nython (1.19), latto (1.08), and heat (1.06).

BOOM lost the opening map at this tournament to Isurus, but bounced back and won the next two, and then the following two games over Imperial and Keyd. BOOM won 12 of the last 13 games.

RED Canids vs. BOOM Betting Preview
BOOM is a massive favorite for a reason, and even though they could have a tougher job when these teams potentially meet in the playoffs, I expect an easy job for the favorites on Friday. I should mention that RED Canids already took one map to BOOM in two H2H encounters, and it wouldn’t be the end of the world if they do it again here, but I am still going with BOOM to secure a 2-0 victory.
