Maç Tahmini: FURIA Academy - Sharks | CS2 (CS:GO)

FURIA Academy and Sharks Esports will meet in the CBCS 2023 Season 1 top group stage semi-finals. It is known that the winner will definitely qualify for the play-offs, but will still play in the slot match.

To be fair, the young Brazilians impressed with Long Sogpeg's confidence the day before, as they managed to scatter Solid. For their part, the Sharks are more experienced in principle, so obviously the initiative should be on their side.

All in all, not to cancel out FURIA Academy's prospects, but the squad certainly won't hold out in its current form. Yes, and otherwise the opponents are more confident on the pitch. Therefore, here I would rely on the Sharks Esports team to win.

The 116th ranked team in the world failed in the CCT South America Series 7 and Pinnacle Cup Brasil #1 where they could not even get a foothold and were quickly eliminated.

FURIA Academy vs Sharks Esports match prediction

Perhaps the youngsters can take away one card, as the Sharks are not doing so well on Mirage. However, otherwise experience should make the difference, as the face-to-face stats also show. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Sharks Esports team win.
