Match Prediction: Vitality - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 16Vitality and fnatic will meet in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16. So far, the Danish-French team is going without losses, having six points in its asset.
As for fnatic, the team managed to get a victory in the first round over Ninjas in Pajamas, but after that they couldn't cope with NAVI. Now, I'm not sure that keita's wards will be able to outplay Vitality, because there are many "buts".
First, ZywOo and company don't play Ancient, and fnatic's other maps aren't doing so well. Therefore, do not expect to see a sensation, as the favorite should take the points.

The seventh team in the world ranking played ambiguously in the framework of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. Yes, the team played well in the group, and after that they had a great start in the Play-In.
However, the Danish-French team did not fulfill their task, because they lost to G2 at the finish line and did not get into the autumn finals of the season directly.

fnatic form
The 27th team in the world ranking recently managed to qualify for IEM Road to Rio 2022. At the same time, the team made it to the RMR tournament only on the second attempt, so it’s too early to talk about a return.
But suddenly fnatic goes to ESL Pro League Season 16 and instantly takes out Ninjas in Pajamas, giving only eight rounds for two maps. Surprisingly, the team played in that match perfectly.
However, then there was a defeat from NAVI, and if not for Ancient, one could forget about fnatic. And yet, while the team leaves a lot of questions, in particular, in terms of the number of cards.

Prediction for the match Vitality vs fnatic
I don't really believe in fnatic, because the game with NAVI showed that the team has nothing interesting on the default maps. Plus Vitality will ban Ancient, tying the opponent's hands. In general, in order not to say too much, I'll just put an end to fnatic. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Vitality team.
