Match Prediction: Fnatic - Excel Esports | LoL

Prediction for the match between Fnatic – Excel Esports

We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the LEC 2022 European Championship. This time we will see the teams that did not take the best places in the group stage of Fnatic and Excel Esports. Both teams were able to get into the playoffs, but due to low performance, their performance will take place in the losers' bracket. For those who missed it, I want to remind you that the clubs have already met in the summer split, in the last two matches the victory went to the Excel Esports team.

Fnatic form

Not the best performance for Fnatic. If last LEC season they easily made their way to the playoffs, in this split the team faced a lot of problems. At the end of the group stage, the team took 5th place in the tournament line. They had the opportunity to climb up the row and reach the upper bracket, as they had the opportunity to take on Misfits Gaming on “Tiebreaker” for 4th place in the table. However, they couldn't beat them and that's why they are now facing a meeting with Excel Esports in the lower bracket.

Excel Esports form

The Excel Esports team can be commended, this year they are steadily making their way to the playoffs and this is a good progress against the backdrop of their past results. I would like to note that for their 6th place they had a chance to compete with Team Vitality in the same “Tiebreaker” and they were able to win, thanks to which they made their way further. It is also worth recalling two victories in the group stage over Fnatic. Unfortunately, this does not give them any advantage. Although the team performs well in bo-1 format battles, they have obvious problems in protracted meetings.

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams held 16 meetings between themselves. In most of them, and to be more precise in 13 matches, the victory went to the Fnatic team.

Exodus

We are expecting a fight between the outsiders of the playoff stage and it has a clear favorite. Despite all the praise towards Excel Esports, they do not perform well in protracted battles, I don’t know why, because the roster has been playing together for a long time, but there is a feeling of lack of teamwork. This is rather strange for a team that has hardly seen major changes in such a long time. Fnatic's stats are down significantly compared to last LEC season, so I have little confidence in their victory. I will still try to take a chance and suggest that you choose Excel Esports as the winner.

Outcome: The Excel Esports team will become the winners of the confrontation.
