The CS:GO Asia Championships 2023 kick off next week, and like you, we couldn’t be more excited. For our picks in the first match week, our experts have dedicated to bringing you their FaZe vs Ninjas in Pyjamas predictions and betting tips.
FaZe have won all of their last eight games in all leagues and competitions, so they will go into Thursday’s contest with plenty of confidence. Four of their eight wins have been 2-0, however, in the other four they have conceded maps against teams they should perhaps have beaten more convincingly.
Still, take nothing away from them, they are still one of the best teams in the CS:GO world. It’s therefore little surprise that they are heavy favourites on most esports betting sites at odds of 1.25.
In stark contrast to their opponents, Ninjas in Pyjamas have been struggling of late, with just two wins from their last 10 games. The only slight positive is that they managed to win the second map in their 2-1 loss to OG in the Roobet Cup last week.
Still, our Ninjas in Pyjamas sports betting predictions don’t look particularly positive for this match. An outright win looks to be almost impossible, which is reflected in their stats as 3.55 underdogs on the majority of esports betting apps.
Like recent form in general, the H2H record of past games between these teams very much favours FaZe. The home team have won the last four meetings, however, NiP have won a map in three of those four.
That being said, NiP haven’t had the better of FaZe since 2021, so their proven ability to at least put up a fight is one of the few positives we can attribute to them. All of the FaZe vs Ninjas in Pyjamas odds show the home team as heavy favourites, and the H2H record justifies this.
Below, we have provided you with three key statistical highlights that we believe are instrumental to how this contest will play out. Still, we have used these in combination with our own expertise to bring you our top Ninjas in Pyjamas picks.
FaZe looks almost certain to win the match overall, but it won’t be easy. That’s why our top tip this week is NiP to win at least one map at betting odds of 2.50 with FanDuel.
FaZe look almost unstoppable going to their opening CS:GO Asia Championships 2023, and we cannot see NiP having enough to properly halt that momentum. They will almost certainly make it five wins from five on Thursday against their faltering opponent.
However, as they are so heavily favourited at odds of 1.25, an outright win offers very little in terms of value. Meanwhile, the handicap markets look a little bit too tough to call correctly.
Instead, for the top pick of our FaZe vs Ninjas in Pyjamas betting tips, we’re going to look at the fact that three of the last four H2H meetings have ended in a 2-1 win for FaZe.
That’s why we like the look of NiP to win at least one map at odds of 2.50 with FanDuel. If you want to back this tip, check out the best esports bonus offers first right here at Strafe.
