ENCE are 1.68 favourites with the best Counter-Strike betting sites, while RED Canids are priced as 2.15 underdogs. The price difference isn’t as significant, mainly due to ENCE’s poor form, even though they field more quality players.

Head to Head

This will mark the first clash between ENCE and RED Canids of the year.

ENCE Form

ENCE have shown little to nothing ahead of ESL Pro League Season 20, yet they had a relatively good display on the first map against Team Liquid on Tuesday. They ended up losing the series 0-2, yet took 11 rounds on Nuke, which is a good sign, even though Liquid are not particularly good on that map.

One solid map does not prove much and it explains why ENCE are not bigger favourites with the esports betting sites for this series. On the other hand, they are higher-ranked and objectively field better players – yet their potential ceiling means little given how shaky ENCE have looked over the last few weeks.

ENCE Squad & Team News

ENCE have not announced any roster changes.

RED Canids Form

RED Canids failed to win their opening series of ESL Pro League Season 20 against Virtus.pro, which is hardly shocking. However, they showed very little resistance on the day, losing Vertigo and Dust II with 5-13 and 3-13.

RED Canids were qualitatively outmatched on the day, and the same should happen on Thursday. Yet, while Virtus.pro have not shown anything exceptional over the last few weeks, they can still be considered stronger than ENCE. So the question really is whether ENCE can perform as well as they should or will we see another collapse.

Verdict

ENCE v RED Canids

RED Canids should never beat ENCE, and their poor showing against Virtus.pro should be a good indication of how this series will play out. While ENCE are not as consistent as Virtus.pro, the two teams are of fairly similar quality and they both entered ESL Pro League Season 20 in poor form.

Based on that outcome alone, it is fair to say that ENCE should win against RED Canids. A three-map series is a real possibility, yet at 1.68, it is hard to pass on the European lineup.
