Прогноз на матч CS2 Movistar Riders - HAVU

Movistar Riders and HAVU will meet in the quarter-finals of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023. Well, onward and upward!? My guess is that the Spaniards will now begin a smooth return to square one, as the latter has already made the ESL Pro League Season 17 play-offs for free with a horrendous performance.

For their part, the HAVU Finns have made good progress, and after recent lineup changes, the team is looking good. It's understandable that the Finnish team seems to be an outsider, but they can fight for the map.

So here I'd take a closer look at the card from HAVU. Perhaps for me personally Movistar Riders has been and still is a dead team without an idea.

Movistar Riders uniform

The 25th team of the world ranking had time to play in CCT Central Europe Series Finals 1 where they got to the play-offs very unexpectedly. However, the Spanish team was defeated by Bad News Eagles and ENCE to finish in fourth place.

Still, Movistar Riders continued to surprise as they managed to make the ESL Pro League Season 17 playoffs. However, I would focus on the wild instability of the team, which in places played as if it was the first time it had logged onto the server.

Movistar Riders latest results:

• A 0-2 loss to Heroic.

• 1-2 defeat of FURIA.

It's worth noting that the Spanish squad have given up the Vertigo card for now.

HAVU uniforms

The 80th ranked team in the world has managed to win the Pelaajat Series Spring Showoff 2023, although there's no point in talking about it. At the same time, the Finnish team reached the CCT North Europe Series 4 play-offs with three wins.

As for their performance at the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023, HAVU have not lost so far. What's more, the team has already managed to pass Monte and also outplayed EYEBALLERS at the start of the playoffs.

HAVU's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over JANO.
• A 2-1 win over Into the Breach.
• 2-1 victory over ECSTATIC.

HAVU's best cards:

• Ancient - 73% wins.
• Nuke - 71% wins.
• Mirage - 60% wins.

Interestingly, the Finnish team is also not shown on the Vertigo card.

Prediction for the Movistar Riders vs HAVU

After watching the Spanish team I could not find any logical reason that would explain why they qualified for the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 17. Banal randomness and a bad BIG day - that's the whole scenario.

And there is a feeling that Movistar Riders might lose here altogether, as there is no tournament like Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 in the guys' plans right now.

In turn, the Finnish team puts the main bet on this championship, and the guys themselves have gained good form. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on the cards (+1.5) for the HAVU team.
