Copenhagen Flames vs. c0ntact Odds, Prediction, and Pick for April 24th – ESL One: Road to Rio

The matches from Group B of the Europen division at the ESL One: Road to Rio event kick off with today’s early clash between Copenhagen Flames and c0ntact Gaming.

The teams recently met at the Flashpoint tournament where emi and his team toppled the Danes. Will CPH be able to take revenge here?

My Copenhagen Flames vs. c0ntact betting preview for Friday, April 24th tries to answer this question by looking at the odds for the tie and analyzing both organizations and their recent exploits.

Let’s start with the main betting markets. The ones below are taken from SportsBetting.

There are close to 40 different betting options at the bookmaker’s sportsbook so you’re welcome to try your luck with some of the others as well. But be sure to stick around for my analysis and betting prediction before making your final decision.

The Danes recently played at the Home Sweet Home Cup event with mixed results. Wins against SKADE and Gambit were positive but they fell heavily to any higher-ranked team they met.

This included blowout losses against Germans BIG, Americans Cloud9, and Endpoint.

The organization does boast some quality with players like Farlig and Nodios but they are still very much a lower tier team that has problems of asserting itself in top competitions.

They are understandably the underdog against a tough c0ntact side and will need a huge performance if they are to salvage anything here.

The team’s recent form looks woeful on paper but we have to account for the fact that they made it to the latter stages of the Flashpoint event that hosted a bunch of top organizations.

The Europeans fell to eventual champions MAD Lions twice and also lost to lower bracket finalists HAVU.

However, playing against these teams at such an advanced stage alone was a good achievement and there were also some solid displays along the way. Especially their playoff win against FunPlus Phoenix’s new-look roster.

I believe the experience at Flashpoint has made c0ntact a better team and top guns OttoNd and EspiranTo will be raring to go here.

I guess the Danes do hold a bit of a competitive edge since they’ve been playing at the Home Sweet Home cup, while c0ntact’s last match took place on April 5th.

However, it’s not like CPH Flames are getting any better as they still exhibit a lot of problems when meeting higher-ranked teams.

c0ntact’s displays at Flashpoint prove this team has quality to mix it up with the elite and they blew away today’s opponents 2:0 when they last met.

Maps will be quite important here but emi and his teammates simply possess the better skill and chemistry, so I’m backing them to blitz the Danes once again.

The handicap odds make for a potentially huge prize and I just have to go with them here.
