Riyadh Falcons and G2 Minnesota meet on June 26 in the CDL 2026 Stage 4 Major quarterfinals. With a 2-2 tie in previous head-to-head matches and both squads winning two series each this season, the rivalry is fierce. While Falcons clinched the last match with a close 3-2 win, their inconsistency and weaker LAN performances raise doubts. In contrast, G2 Minnesota look more stable and experienced, especially on LAN. Expect a tight, competitive showdown—no clear favorite. For live streams, check out popular esports platforms or betting sites like Stake.

Riyadh Falcons vs G2 Minnesota Betting Predictions


Riyadh Falcons and G2 Minnesota will face off on Friday, June 26, in the upper bracket quarterfinals of Call of Duty League 2026 Stage 4 Major, marking a rematch from the final week of the qualifiers.

The Falcons won the last clash; however, it was a very competitive game, which could’ve gone either way. As such, Falcons should not be considered favourites for the rematch, especially considering they’re not a consistent team and appear less prepared for LAN than G2 Minnesota, who are a more experienced team.

This has a competitive game written all over it, and no clear favourite to come out on top.

Riyadh Falcons Can be Hot-and-Cold


Riyadh Falcons finished the CDL Major 4 qualifiers in second place, with a 4-1 record. During the online stage, they’ve beaten Miami Heretics (3-2), Paris Gentle Mates (3-0), Carolina Royal Ravens (3-2), and G2 Minnesota (3-2).

Falcons’ only loss of the qualifiers came against their old foes FaZe Vegas, who bested them 0-3 at the start of the final week.

Overall, the Falcons have looked solid during the qualifiers, but their run has highlighted just how inconsistent this team can be.

They are arguably very reliant on momentum, needing a strong start to get the ball rolling. If that doesn’t happen, the Falcons tend to be all over the place, which almost cost them wins against the Heretics and Royal Ravens.

G2 Minnesota Have Tools to do Well


G2 Minnesota will face off against the Falcons in a rematch from the final week of the Major 4 qualifiers, when the Falcons edged out a win. However, G2’s loss was largely due to poor execution in the final rounds of Search & Destroy, when G2 Minnesota choked away a great opportunity to force a round 11 and potentially take the win.

Besides the choke loss against the Falcons, G2 Minnesota have been playing well this stage, and as it seems, the arrival of Nastie and Envoy has made this roster far more potent. Notably, with the new arrivals, G2 Minnesota are now also fielding a more experienced squad, who are more likely to find success on LAN.

Looking more stable and fielding plenty of talent to perform on LAN, G2 Minnesota are not to be overlooked.

Verdict

Riyadh Falcons got lucky to defeat G2 Minnesota in their last outing. And if that game is any indication, the rematch should be just as close and competitive.

But the big question is, how will the Falcons perform on LAN? They’ve not looked too sharp in the previous Majors, and their volatility does not help make a good case for the Falcons and their chances to come out ahead.

On the other side, they have the slaying power to do damage, so all things considered, this is likely going to be another close and competitive clash.
