Sprout and Ninjas in Pajamas will compete for the right not to be eliminated from IEM Rio Major 2022. Perhaps, the Danish team is where it should be, since there is nothing to do with such a game.
However, Ninjas in Pajamas clearly overestimated its capabilities and got bogged down in the ideas of Aleksib, which, sensationally, again do not work. And yet, the Swedish team must win in class and shooting, while Sprout will again slip.
Therefore, here I would not look for intrigue, as well as invent ambiguous things - a logical victory for Ninjas in Pajamas.
Sprout form
The 30th team of the world ranking surprised at the recent IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, as a result of which they sensationally made their way into the "legends" of the major.
At the same time, Sprout tried their luck in the playoffs of ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe and Elisa Invitational Fall 2022, but the European team frankly had a hard time there.
As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here the wards of BERRY have already managed to lose to BIG and Team Liquid, without showing any game at all.

Uniform Ninjas in Pajamas
The eleventh team of the world ranking surprised at the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, where they got three good victories and got a direct ticket to the “legends”.
Then the Swedish team took part in the local Svenska Cupen 2022, where, as expected, they did not encounter problems and got two simple victories, earning money.
However, Ninjas in Pajamas had a start at IEM Rio Major 2022, where the team managed to lose to both fnatic and Outsiders. And yet in this case, the team must win and get another chance.

Prediction for Sprout vs Ninjas in Pajamas
Again, I will not look for pitfalls, since Sprout plays too weakly for this level. And here you don’t even need to say anything. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Ninjas in Pajamas team.
