Falcons vs 9z Prediction: Who Will Start the Tournament With the Win?

Prediction for the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade Season 2 match, which will take place on August 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Falcons

The European team from the Arab organization made it through the closed qualifications for RMR and is now in the LAN stage of the tournament thanks to the core group of participants. For Falcons, the next two months are a chance to try out new things and find a new energy in the game, which the team has been lacking since spring. It's unlikely that the team will exceed expectations at any tournament. Failures are often dismissed as a result of instability. It's a shame to see that a roster with championship ambitions has become one that is expected to underperform.

From time to time, Falcons take part in online qualifications to get slots for the fall LAN tournaments. This allows them to spend the cycle of preparation for RMR with the benefit. For instance, just a few days ago, the American M80 team was defeated in the qualification round for BLAST Fall Final 2024. SunPayus sniper, who has seen some impressive performances in 2024, really showed his stuff in that series. With BetBoom Dacha Belgrade already underway, the Europeans need two more wins in the online format to secure their participation in the event in Copenhagen.

9z

At IEM Cologne 2024, we said that 9z was the main dark horse in the top 15 of the HLTV world rankings. The lack of matches, even in the online qualifications after the tournament in Cologne, only reinforced this impression. It's difficult to assess the South Americans' level of stability in this way. At the iconic German event, 9z didn't manage to surprise with a final place, but they did well to make it through the play-in stage.

Before BetBoom Dacha Belgrade, the team still has some strong players in MartinezSa and dgt, who can create results on their own or as a duo. But the game pattern and other small details that would have helped them beat Falcons could have been changed a week after they left IEM Cologne 2024.

Expert Betting Tips

If they want to win the upcoming match, they'll need to bring their A-game and show some fire. Both teams are pretty evenly matched, and it often comes down to a clash of characters in meetings between such opponents. We think that for 9z, doing well in Belgrade is more important than anything else. It's the first step to getting into the top 10 of the HLTV world ranking. We're looking at three maps and at least 50 rounds played in the upcoming series, but we should treat 9z with a bit of caution.
