Monte vs FURIA Preview and Predictions: IEM Cologne 2023

Monte vs FURIA will be a cross-continental battle for an IEM Cologne 2023 Group Stage berth

With both teams aiming to book their spots in the IEM Cologne 2023 Group Stages, Monte and FURIA prepare to lock horns in an intense Upper Bracket Play-In contest. The Ukrainians mounted a phenomenal late surge to overcome Imperial, while FURIA banked on their immense firepower to beat a resilient Grayhound side. FURIA have more favorable CSGO betting odds, but Monte were the one who emerged victorious the last times these two teams met.
