The esports betting sites have Savage clear favourites to win this bout, but there isn’t much to support that claim. Admittedly, AGO lost Miłosz “mhL” Knasiak to MOUZ NXT at the start of the month, which isn’t ideal, but they have enough players on the roster to fill in the gap.
The offered CS:GO betting odds might make sense when you consider AGO are 1-5 in their last six outings, but note that all these results came a month or more back. Likewise, Savage’s 4-2 run includes games from December, and considering both teams have been out of action for over a month, their form is hardly something we can use to predict a winner.
Savage should be favoured to win this match, but $2.27 on AGO seems too big.

LOOKING4ORG vs HAVU GAMING CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | L40 $2.99 at Betway | HAVU $1.36 at Betway |

Looking4Org are priced as $2.99 underdogs for their first-ever meeting with HAVU Gaming, despite having only two defeats since October (23-2). Still, most of those wins came against other Australian CS:GO esports teams, who are arguably not nearly as strong as HAVU.
The Finns are 1-6 across their last seven outings, while their last official match happened on December 5, when they lost against MOUZ NXT (1-2). So while HAVU look stronger on paper, the lack of games will affect them and likely see HAVU stumble a bit before they get back into the competitive rhythm.
In a perfect world, HAVU should win, but their poor performances towards the end of 2021 and the lack of official matches – only eight since the start of November – should make you sceptical of whether the Finnish squad can deliver. Looking4Org are underrated and present us with an excellent value bet.
