Maç Tahmini: Movistar Riders - BIG | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 17Movistar Riders and BIG will compete for the last ticket to the ESL Pro League Season 17 playoffs, available to representatives of group B. In other words, the teams will meet in the final of the Last Chance bracket, where there are no other options but to win.
To be honest, the Spanish team turned out to be one step away from reaching the playoffs, because they stayed afloat with two free victories over Complexity Gaming and SAW, although, objectively, in terms of their level, they do not even deserve to play in the playoffs.
In turn, BIG has already managed to play one match today, having gained a strong-willed victory over Complexity Gaming. To put it bluntly, the German team did not show anything new, but managed to correct their mistakes during the match and regain some kind of confidence.
Therefore, here, without inventing unnecessary reasons, I would take a closer look at the victory of the BIG team. First of all, Movistar Riders is still not up to the mark to qualify for the playoffs. Secondly, after a strong-willed victory, the Germans should be doubly difficult to stop.
Movistar Riders Uniform
The 30th ranked team in the world has had a terrible start to the new season, as they failed in the OMEN WGR Challenge 2023 and CCT South Europe Series 2, as well as the open qualifiers for IEM Rio 2023 and the RMR tournament.
However, Movistar Riders recently made it to the CCT Central Europe Series Finals 1, where they made it to the playoffs very unexpectedly. But everything quickly improved there as well, as the Spanish team was defeated by Bad News Eagles and ENCE, taking fourth place.
As for the start in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, here the Spanish team is on schedule, combining defeats from Heroic and FURIA with victories over Complexity Gaming and SAW.

It is worth noting that the Spanish team is still refusing the Vertigo card.
Form BIG
The seventeenth team in the world ranking, on the contrary, managed to qualify for IEM Rio 2023, and this despite the loss of the main sniper before the start of the qualifiers.
Nevertheless, a joke happened to the German team, which resulted in a defeat from Spirit Academy in the first round of the CCT West Europe Series 1 playoffs.

Match statistics Movistar Riders — BIG
During the last season, the teams held two meetings:
- BIG won at IEM Katowice 2022 Play-In with a score of 16:13.
- The victory of Movistar Riders at ESL Pro League Season 15 with a score of 2:0.
And both times the teams played on the Nuke map.
Prediction for the match Movistar Riders — BIG
Personally, I don't see any chance for the Spanish team, which does not play Vertigo itself, to still not get Overpass, which they have been training so hard in recent days.
And otherwise, Movistar Riders is inferior to BIG in all respects. Moreover, as the last meeting showed, the Germans are able to get together at the right time and finish the matches on the moral and strong-willed.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the BIG team.
