SG.pro vs. Izako Bears Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/27

SG.pro and Izako Boars will face each other in the swiss round stage of the Nine to Five #2 CS:GO tournament. The online event has twenty-eight teams competing for a $50,000 prize pool. The first-placed team receives the bulk of the money ($35,000) and the rest goes to the next team.

The 72nd ranked SG.pro has a Russian lineup with a lot of potential. But the players have been in very poor form and their recent results are an indication of the team’s slump. SG.pro has lost all five of its recent matches, although most of these losses were against much stronger teams. Train and Mirage are the best maps for SG.pro, where the players usually have a CT dominant half.

Izako Boars is ranked 102nd and features a Polish CS:GO lineup. The team prefers maps like Vertigo, Overpass and Nuke, although its strength lies on the T side of these maps. Izako Boars recently lost to NAVI Junior (16-6, 16-4) in the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Week 4.

Pick: Over 2.5 (+111 @ Pinnacle)

Izako Boars won the last head-to-head match between the two teams. However, the team has gone into a slump since that match. SG.pro is ranked higher than Izako Boars, but it is still on a losing streak. The two teams are relatively evenly matches and I am taking this series to go over 2.5 maps.
