Hard4U vs. Apeks Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 6/19

Hard4U and Apeks are facing off in the league round of the LOOT.BET Season 7 - a Swiss round 3 (teams with a 1-1 record). Both sides are fighting for the top half of the standings and will be hoping for a win here. These rivals have never met before, and this is the Best of 3 matchup.

The Russian side Hard4U didn’t play any other matches besides the LOOT.BET Season 7 and managed to qualify to the league competition thanks to three consecutive wins in qualifications. Over the last three months, Hard4U have an 80.0% win rate, and they beat FATE 2-0 in the previous LOOT.BET Season 7 round. When it comes to the maps during the same period, Hard4U are the most successful on Dust2 (100.0% win rate), Train (100.0%), and Overpass (100.0%), but they have been weaker on Nuke (50.0%) and Inferno (50.0%).

The Norwegian team Apeks are not in good form lately after losing each of the previous four matches, including the most recent at the LOOT.BET Season 7 to Nemiga (7-16 on Nuke). They have a 37.5% win rate over the last three months, while they were producing the best displays on Vertigo map (55.6% win rate). On the other hand, Apeks are the weakest on Train (33.3%), Nuke (37.5%), and Dust2 (38.5%).

Pick: Hard4U ML (-116 @1xBet)

Apeks have a more experienced team opposite Hard4U, who played just 12 maps with the current lineup. However, the Russians are in a better form right now, and I think that will play a significant role in this encounter. It’s clear that Hard4U set their sight on the LOOT.BET Season 7 as they are entirely focused on reaching the top half of the table and make it to the playoffs. It’s going to be a close one, but I am going with the Russians.
