Predictions, Picks, Odds and Betting Preview for the CS:GO Liquid vs FURIA ESL Pro League Match on September 23, 2022
Betting on Liquid
Liquid has started undefeated in this competition, and after a hard-fought victory in their first game of the group against Movistar Raiders, which saw them win 2-1 after coming from behind in the second half of the third map, they erased all doubts by beating Evil Geniuses 2-0 in their second game of the tournament, winning convincingly by scores of 16-7 on Map 1 and 16-8 on Map 2.
Surely Liquid’s chances of a win will depend on how well YEKINDAR performs, who has averaged over 100 damage in the two games he has played so far, although it will also be worth keeping an eye on ELiGE, who had the best K/D against Evil Geniuses with a 42-26.
Betting on FURIA
FURIA also started its campaign in this ESL Pro League with a good start and has won its first two games, which allows it to position itself as group leader thanks to its round difference. Their first game could have been defined in two maps if Eternal Fire had not forced overtime, although they still ended up winning 2-1, and in their second game of the tournament they comfortably defeated Movistar Riders by scores of 16-3 on Map 1 and 16-13 on Map 2.
KSCERATO has been their most outstanding player so far, having an overall KD of 125-67 after the first two games, and will surely have to shoulder the team again in what will be his first big challenge in the competition.
JefeBet Prediction
This game is sure to be a close one, as both teams have shown many strengths in the beginning of the group stage.
If FURIA wants to have a better chance of winning, they will surely have to ban the Mirage map, where Liquid is undefeated in its last five matches, while FURIA itself has won in only two of the last four times it played on that map.
Liquid is perceived as a superior team, mainly because of the flexibility it has when it comes to having a protagonist, as both ELiGE and YEKINDAR can take over the team, while FURIA has shown a very heavy reliance on KSCERATO lately.
In addition, it is important to note that FURIA’s last loss was precisely to Liquid at the IEM in Cologne, which is part of four losses in the last five maps to them—including two 2-0 sweeps in best-of-three series.
Prediction: Liquid Moneyline (2-0)
