Sangal Team Stats and Latest Results

Sangal was on a two-week break following uninspiring displays at the Snow Sweet Snow 3, where they suffered straight defeats to EXTREMUM and Anonymo. The Turkish team returned at the Flashpoint 3 Open Qualifier 1 and responded with a pair of wins over Unicorns of Love and Quantum Bellator Fire. Currently in 61st position in the CS:GO rankings, Sangal is hoping to break into the top 50, but they would need to go deep at this tournament in order to fulfill those plans. Sangal lost eight of the previous 13 matches.

During the last three months, Sangal was decent on Dust2 (68.8% win rate) and Inferno (60.0%), while they disappointed on Mirage (16.7%).

Budapest five is also not playing well lately as they lost four consecutive games, including the most recent one to Movistar Riders at the ESEA Advanced Season 36 Europe. The Hungarian side failed to connect three victories in 2021, and it isn’t strange they are in 89th place in the CS:GO rankings right now. Budapest Five lost nine of the last 16 games.

Sangal vs. Budapest Five Betting Preview

I am not impressed with the way these teams are playing at the moment, so I will avoid betting on the winner in this one. Even though I am leaning toward Sangal, who won the last two opposite Budapest Five and their four straight defeats, I am going with Over 25.5 rounds. The losing side will win at least ten rounds, and that’s all we need to win this bet.

The Pick: Over 25.5 rounds (-164 @GGBET)
