Preliminary review and match prediction for Astralis vs Movistar Riders

Astralis:

The Astralis are ranked tenth in the world rankings and this is clearly not the result they want to achieve. The team qualified for the majors a week ago and was on the edge of relegation. Thankfully, at the crucial moment, they switched on and literally got on the last train.

Recall that Astralis lost to Players (1:2) and G2 Esports (1:2), and after that defeated HEET with a score of 2-1. Astralis may still have some communication problems. In addition, they are not realising all of their tactical preparations due to individual errors.

Movistar Riders:

Movistar Riders are two places below their rivals in the rankings and have recently been delighting the public with good results and bright play. Previously, the team performed steadily at the tier 2 level and could not prove themselves on the tier 1 stage, but now they are gradually improving their class.

At the last ESL Pro League, Movistar Riders got to the quarterfinals, where they were beaten (1-2) by ENCE, but the group stage was perfect.
