Astralis is a firm favorite when they face mousesports on Friday, but both teams stand at 2-1 in the group stage of the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe, and mousesports actually leads in all-time H2H series, so approach this game with caution.

mousesports Team Stats and Latest Results
mousesports had a nearly two-month break from the CS:GO tour, and returned with a pair of defeats to Natus Vincere and MAD Lions at the ESL One Cologne 2020 Europe. The loss to MAD Lions was particularly unpleasant because mousesports managed to win only nine rounds on two maps in total. However, they responded with two wins over FaZe and fnatic in the opening two matches at this tournament and even had a 1-0 lead over NiP in the most recent game, but the Swedes beat them in the end.
When it comes to the maps in the previous three months, mousesports only had success on Nuke (60.0%), while they pretty much struggled on all the other maps. They failed to get a win on Vertigo and Mirage and were below average on Train (33.3%), Inferno (33.3%), and Dust2 (33.3%). Like Astralis, mousesports also has a new lineup that played on eight maps together with a record of five wins and three losses. The current members of the team are karrigan (0.80), chrisJ (0.84), frozen (0.95), ropz (1.14), and Bymas (0.95).
Astralis vs. mousesports H2H Record

Astralis vs. mousesports Betting Preview
Two of four H2H encounters produced a maximum of three maps, and my bet for this game is Over 2.5 maps, not only because of this reason, though. mousesports displayed fine performances so far at the tournament and I don’t think the odds justify the strength of these rivals at the moment. That’s why I suggest you avoid betting on the winner and go with Over 2.5 maps.
