YOUNG NINJAS vs NATUS VINCERE JUNIOR CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

CS:GO Betting Odds:<\/td>\nNinjas $1.51 at GG Bet<\/a> | NaVi Jr $2.42 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u2028Young Ninjas made it through to the group stage with an impressive 2-0 record and 64-35 map differential. Natus Vincere Junior were slightly less convincing, going 2-1 with an 80-88 map record.<\/p>\n

Despite what those numbers might suggest, we have to consider that NaVi Jr had to play in a much tougher group that featured Double Poney, Budapest Five and SINNERS Esports. Thus, their performances could be valued higher than Young Ninjas\u2019.<\/p>\n

These sides last met just two days ago, when Ninjas won 2-0 with 16-14 on Vertigo and 16-5 on Inferno. They also won both of the previous two meetings in emphatic fashion.<\/p>\n

Considering their strong head-to-head record, it makes sense to view Ninjas as the favourites, but the latest CS:GO betting<\/a> odds are far too low for us to take a shot with them. NaVi Jr have the tools to win this match and were somewhat unlucky not to do so on Sunday. At the very least, the Ukrainians should force a tight series.<\/p>\n

DOUBLE PONEY vs NORDAVIND CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

CS:GO Betting Odds:<\/td>\nPoney $1.66 at GG Bet<\/a> | Nordavind $2.21 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nMay 20, 2021 at 19:00 CEST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nTwitch (https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/BLASTTV)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2028Double Poney cruised through the group stage with a perfect 2-0 record and an equally impressive 64-26 map differential. Noradvind had to work a bit harder to make it into the playoffs, finishing their group at 2-1 with a 84-40 map differential.<\/p>\n

We talked about Double Poney in our Flashpoint Season 3 betting preview for Wednesday<\/a>. There, we noted that this team is good enough to compete with Astralis, so it\u2019s only reasonable to expect DP to do well against a second-tier team such as Nordavind.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n

Although there is a slight chance Double Poney won\u2019t put in too much work to prepare for this bout, they don\u2019t really need to. They are good enough to win 2-0, but we\u2019re happy with the odds we\u2019re getting on the moneyline market.<\/p>\n
