Head-to-head statistics AST - BIG
Astralis Team Overview
📝After the latest ranking update from HLTV, the Danes have risen to 10th place. However, their performance still leaves much to be desired. This season, the team has not achieved success in tier-1 level tournaments and has faced difficulties in the qualifying stages for upcoming events. At PGL Cluj-Napoca, Astralis managed to defeat SAW (2:0) and MIBR (2:1), but suffered losses against paiN (1:2) and Falcons (1:2).
❗️It's worth noting that the total over 53.5 rounds has played out in 6 of the last 7 bo3 matches for the Astralis team.
Match Results: Astralis
BIG Team Overview
📝The updated BIG roster has yet to boast stable results. The team is capable of battling top opponents on equal terms, but also of losing to tier-3 level teams. In the current tournament, the German team hasn't won a single map against MOUZ and Eternal Fire. However, thanks to victories over Wildcard (2:1) and FlyQuest (2:1), tabseN and company still have a chance to fight for a spot in the playoffs.
❗️According to statistics, BIG wins with a handicap (+5.5) rounds on the second map in 11 consecutive head-to-head matches with Astralis.
Match Results: BIG
Editorial Prediction
In our opinion, the bookmakers somewhat overestimate the chances of the Danes winning this match. The Germans approach important matches responsibly and do not significantly lag behind their current opponent in terms of gameplay level. In our view, total over 2.5 maps is the most optimal outcome for a bet in this match.
