On March 11, 2025, at 16:00 EET, a match between AVULUS and Natus Vincere will take place as part of the fourth round of the group stage of PGL Wallachia Season 3. The match will be held in a Bo3 format, and we are ready to share our prediction for this encounter.
Current Team Form
AVULUS
AVULUS have not yet shown consistent results in the tournament. The team started with a loss to Tundra Esports, then managed to defeat Mosquito Clan, but lost to Gaimin Gladiators the next day. Prior to this, they also performed poorly at DreamLeague Season 25, losing to Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators without a chance. The team currently lacks synergy, and the match against Natus Vincere will be a serious challenge for them.
Natus Vincere
Natus Vincere started the tournament with two losses — against Team Liquid and Nigma Galaxy, but then managed to secure an important victory over Mosquito Clan. However, overall the team does not yet look competitive against strong opponents. Additionally, NAVI's results in the qualifiers for the next season of PGL Wallachia were mixed — they lost to NAVI Junior in the final of the qualifiers, which also indicates instability in the roster.

Match Prediction
On paper, AVULUS and Natus Vincere appear to be roughly equal opponents, but AVULUS has the advantage in roster stability and individual skill of key players. Natus Vincere has not yet shown confident play, and their only victory in the tournament was against an underdog. AVULUS, despite their losses, have shown a decent level of play against stronger opponents.
