Prediction | Ninjas in Pyjamas vs. Imperial | IEM Rio

The upcoming match between Ninjas in Pyjamas and Imperial is one that CS:GO fans won't want to miss. The game is scheduled to start at 16:00 (CEST) on the 17th of April 2023.

Ninjas in Pyjamas has been in excellent form recently, winning their last two matches in a row. They have shown their ability to play at the highest level, defeating teams like Astralis and BIG in the BLAST.tv RMR. With a solid map pool and a roster full of talented players, they are sure to put up a good fight against Imperial.

Imperial, on the other hand, has been struggling to find their footing in recent matches, losing two out of their last three games. They will need to step up their game if they hope to overcome a decent Ninjas in Pyjamas team.

Despite their recent struggles, Imperial has a strong history for bouncing back and playing well at big events. There is not head-to-head between the two teams as the IEM Rio 2023 will be the first time these teams will face each other.

With the way Ninjas in Pyjamas has been playing lately, it's difficult to predict the outcome of this match. Fans can expect to see some intense gameplay, with both teams bringing their A-game. Betting odds are likely to be close but in favor of NIP, and it may be wise to wait until closer to the match before making any bets.

With Imperial playing on home ground, we believe at pley.gg that Imperial will win their opening match and start their IEM Rio run on top.
