ESB’s free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting predictions for Friday focus on two ESL Pro League Season 14 Group A matches. Here are our betting picks for Heroic vs Astralis and Team Spirit vs Team Vitality.<\/p>\n

HEROIC vs ASTRALIS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

CS:GO Betting Odds:<\/td>\nHeroic -166.67 at BetOnline<\/a> | Astralis +128 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nAugust 20, 2021 at 20:00 CEST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nTwitch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2028Heroic last met with Astralis in July, when they lost 0-2; however, they’re still 2-1 up in the head-to-head on the year. What’s more, Heroic have been playing better than Astralis so far at ESL Pro League Season 14 and look set to compete for high placements. <\/p>\n

Since this is a clash between two regional rivals, there’s a chance that Astralis have something prepared for Heroic, but that doesn’t change the fact that Heroic have been playing much cleaner CS throughout the first three rounds of play. Heroic might not be as good as they were in May; however, they’re not far from reaching that form.<\/p>\n

Heroic should win and are a good bet at the provided CS:GO betting odds<\/a>. You could even make a case for a map handicap bet, but we will play it safe.<\/p>\n

TEAM SPIRIT vs TEAM VITALITY CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

CS:GO Betting Odds:<\/td>\nSpirit +124 at BetOnline<\/a> | Vitality -163.93 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nAugust 20, 2021 at 20:00 CEST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nTwitch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2028Team Vitality are slowly improving, but they’re not quite there yet. The big issue we have with Vitality is that they rely way too much on Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut to do all the heavy lifting. <\/p>\n

Although that approach seems to work for Vitality – mainly due to how consistent the 20-year-old superstar is – it also leaves them exposed in games where ZywOo has an off-day.<\/p>\n

Team Spirit haven’t impressed anyone with their showings so far. Although this is still an extremely talented roster, something isn’t clicking, and it doesn’t seem like that will change anytime soon.<\/p>\n

You could say that Spirit are a bit underrated at the offered CS:GO betting odds, which might be true, but with the form they’ve been showing, it seems highly unlikely that they’ll achieve anything on Friday. Vitality are not the most consistent team, but they’re better than Spirit.<\/p>\n
