NAVI Vs MOUZ Line-Ups
NAVI made their last roster change seven months ago, when makazze joined the team. At the current tournament, he is already showing confident performances with a 1.05 rating, gradually integrating into the team’s system.
MOUZ have been competing in CS2 with the same lineup for a long period, as the team has not made any roster changes. The players continue working within the current five-man squad, maintaining their established structure.
NAVI vs MOUZ Form & Performance
Over the past three months, NAVI have played 40 maps, winning 22 of them. During the last month, the team participated in IEM Kraków 2026, where they finished 9–12th — an unexpected result considering their playoff run at StarLadder Budapest Major 2025.
In their last five matches, NAVI secured three wins against G2, Astralis, and Aurora, but suffered defeats to MOUZ and The MongolZ.
Over the same three-month period, MOUZ have played 33 maps, winning 19. In the past month, they also competed at IEM Kraków 2026, finishing in 4th place. The team consistently reaches the playoff stage but often falls just short of the final.
In their last five matches, MOUZ earned three victories over FUT, NAVI, and PARIVISION, while losing to Vitality and Spirit.
Map Pool For Match NAVI vs MOUZ
NAVI:
Most likely, NAVI will start by banning Overpass, as it is their most frequent ban. In response, MOUZ are expected to remove Dust2. Based on their pick statistics, NAVI could choose Mirage or Inferno, but Inferno appears to be the more logical option. In the second ban phase, NAVI may remove Nuke, keeping maps in the pool where they have stronger win rates.
MOUZ:
After banning Dust2 and following NAVI’s pick, MOUZ are likely to choose between Inferno and Mirage, depending on availability. Considering their 62% win rate, Inferno looks like the most probable pick. In their second ban, MOUZ could remove Anubis to avoid potential risk. This would likely leave Ancient as the decider — a map where both teams hold a 100% win rate over the past three months.
NAVI vs MOUZ Head-To-Head
Over the past six months, the teams have faced each other twice, with both matches ending in favor of MOUZ.
The first encounter took place at ESL Pro League Season 22 in a bo3 LAN format, where MOUZ secured a 2-1 victory (Ancient 13:16, Inferno 13:8, Train 13:4).
The second meeting occurred at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026, also in a bo3 format, with MOUZ closing the series 2-0 (Inferno 13:9, Mirage 13:7). The fact that their most recent clash happened at this very tournament gives the European squad a psychological edge.
Best Pick For Match NAVI vs MOUZ
Considering the bookmakers’ odds favoring MOUZ, the results of their recent head-to-head matches, and their more consistent performances at IEM Kraków 2026, it will be difficult for NAVI to impose their game — even with potentially comfortable map picks.
Prediction: MOUZ to win 2-1, with a high probability that the series will be decided on the third map.
All bookmakers have agreed that MOUZ is the favorite. This can be noticed because odds on them are 1.52. This number in the favor of NaVi amounts 2.33. Respectively, the last ones are the underdogs of the upcoming match.
