CS2 Betting Picks for May 26: Top 5 Expert Tips

On May 26, a series of matches will take place on the tier-2 scene, where you can find interesting and logical betting options. We have selected the five best outcomes based on the current form of the teams, head-to-head matchups, and in-game analytics.

9INE to win against Astrum (2.40)
Astrum enters the match as the favorite, but this could backfire. The team has confidently defeated opponents like Zero Tenacity and TNL, but 9INE has faced a much tougher schedule — OG , Fnatic , Spirit Academy. Despite their poor results, the Polish team is not playing badly and could surprise.

PARIVISION to win against RUSH B (1.30)
PARIVISION boasts an impressive winning streak and a strong record in head-to-head matchups against RUSH B — twice winning with scores of 13-7 on the maps Inferno and Ancient. Given RUSH B 's unstable and patchy performance, betting on PARIVISION seems highly reliable.

Spirit Academy to win against Iberian Soul (1.35)
Spirit Academy is on a 5-match winning streak and looks significantly stronger than their opponent. Iberian Soul has already lost to this team four times, twice on their own turf. Spirit Academy has better structure, a deeper map pool, and higher individual skill. The academy's stability makes them the unquestionable favorite.

Sinners to win against Sparta (1.40)
Sinners have confidently defeated Sparta in the last three matches, with all victories having a significant map gap. Currently, Sinners are on a winning streak and demonstrate discipline, while Sparta alternates wins against weak opponents with painful losses. The level difference is too great to overlook this option.

Young Ninjas to win against Viperio (1.35)
Young Ninjas have already defeated Viperio twice in the last month and are in excellent form — 5 consecutive wins. They outperform their opponent in all key metrics: from headshots to first kills. Although Viperio tries to put up a fight, they appear too uncertain in matches against organized teams.

Remember the responsibility: bets should be justified, not emotional. And remember: the winner is not the one who knows all the odds but the one who can interpret them correctly.
