ENCE vs. Fnatic Odds, Prediction, and Pick for April 22nd – ESL One: Road to Rio

The ESL One: Road to Rio event is upon us and the first day will see Fnatic take on ENCE in the European division.

The Swedes are coming into the tournament as champions of the ESL Pro League and will be high on confidence. Will their Finnish counterparts be able to come up with any kind of resistance here?

This ENCE vs. Fnatic betting preview for Wednesday tries to answer this question by looking at the betting odds, the teams’ current form, and some past statistics.

I then share my betting prediction and there is also a free betting pick with it.

The odds seem to suggest that ENCE is doomed here. Let’s move on to my analysis of the current form of both teams and see if there is any hope for the underdog.

The team will definitely be disappointed by their performances at the ESL Pro League. Bar a good win against Ninjas in Pyjamas, they didn’t really play to their full potential and exited the event early.

Defeats against Team Spirit and GODSENT were a particularly low point and the Finns will now be hoping they can turn things around.

The problem is they are about to meet one of the most high-quality and consistent teams on the CS:GO scene today.

The Swedish organization won over the whole of the community with their inspired performances at the ESL Pro League.

Nobody was paying attention to what Golden and his team were doing until they started throwing all of the favorites out and wrapped things up with a great win against mousesports in the final.

The team certainly enjoyed being the underdog everyone is cheering for but their ESL Pro League title means that this will no longer be the case.

These organizations haven’t met in a while. ENCE did end up winning the last tie between them but a lot has changed since then.

Fnatic has cemented a spot among the real elite and their title-winning ESL Pro League campaign was a huge statement.

I reckon KRIMZ and JW will continue their dominant displays and I fail to see how ENCE will be able to stop them.

It should be an easy one for the favorite and I’m going all-in on that prediction with the handicap market.
