Passion UA are priced as 1.58 favourites to defeat 9INE, who are 2.20 underdogs with the top Counter-Strike bookmakers. This price mainly stems from Passion UA's head-to-head record, yet qualitatively, the teams are fairly evenly matched.

Passion UA Form

Passion UA are expected to defeat 9INE on Sunday, which is not too shocking given their strong head-to-head record. Even though their last meeting with 9INE ended poorly for the Ukrainian Counter-Strike team, Passion have posted solid results of late, winning six of their last seven outings.

Those include victories against EYEBALLERS, FAVBET, and Illuminar Gaming in the first round of the European Pro League Season 19. Still, we have to consider that despite Passion UA's strong form, they have not really beaten any great teams.

9INE Form

9INE have not found much success of late, failing to leave a lasting mark in all of their most recent tournament endeavours. Still, they took care of business against Preasy Esports, who they swept 2-0 despite almost botching it on the final map.

With that victory, 9INE are now 4-3 from their last seven outings, which include two wins against ARCRED, Preasy, and Nemiga Gaming. The three defeats came against lajtbit, Metizport, and SINNERS Esports – so overall, not a terrible nor an excellent record to hold.

Given their 1-4 head-to-head record, it is easy to see why 9INE are expected to struggle a bit on Sunday; however, this is still a competent lineup which has proven before that they can do well.

Verdict

Passion UA v 9INE

Despite their strong head-to-head record, Passion UA are not that much better than 9INE qualitatively. They have also not shown much more of late as most of their wins came against weaker opponents.

Looking at the map pools, there is again not much to set them two teams apart except for Mirage, where Passion UA are 52% compared to 9INE, who have won just 12% of the 17 maps played. There's notning to suggest one team is stronger than the other, giving us no choice but to take the underdogs at this number.
