Match Prediction: Natus Vincere - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)

The last time when the teams met happened at the end of April during the European division of ESL Pro League Season 7 and then Natus Vincere turned out to be stronger, winning over their opponent by the score of 2:0. We should mark that Fnatic fought in a very worthy way and took more than thirteen rounds at each of the maps.

Natus Vincere are considered to be one of the best teams of the modern professional stage at the moment, while the representatives of HLTV placed them on the third position in their rating. Within the last month Zeus and Co won StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 5 and CS:GO Asia Championships 2018, and during the current championship the roster overcame the group stage defeating Gambit eSports, Cloud9, ENCE Esports, but losing against G2 eSports.

Meanwhile, Fnatic also can be seen among ten best collectives according to HLTV, where they took the tenth position. The Swedish players had a good shape in March this year where they managed to win WESG 2017 and IEM Katowice 2018, but then the collective’s results have worsened. Within the last month the roster took part in IEM Sydney 2018 and ECS Season 5, but they could achieve nothing more than 5-6 place, so the management  had two replacements draken and Xizt. At the tournament the collective provided themselves with getting to the playoff thanks to the triumph over North and BIG, and at the battle against FaZe Clan did not manage to win.

Bookmakers think that Natus Vincere are favourites of the competition and set the coefficient of their win of 1.5, while the triumph of the Swedish collective is evaluated as 2.6. We also suppose that the Ukrainian team are more likely to win especially taking into account the fact that Fnatic made changes in the roster and the looked not so severe as they could be.
