The match within the group stage of BLAST Open Spring 2025 between MOUZ and Falcons promises to be interesting and tense. These teams are well acquainted with each other, as they have met three times over the past month, and in two cases, MOUZ won. The game will be held in Bo3 format, which suggests that we will have a confrontation on three maps.

Match prediction
Considering the results of the last meetings between the teams and their current form, MOUZ look like obvious favorites. They are more stable, have a better mapped out team and adapt perfectly to the opponent. Falcons, however, may try to catch on to one map, but overall, the victory is likely to remain with MOUZ. Expected result: MOUZ will win with a score of 2-1.
Prediction: MOUZ 2-1 Falcons
This match will be an important test for Falcons, who must demonstrate that they are capable of more. At the same time, it is important for MOUZ to maintain its status as a top team and confirm its ambitions for high places in the tournament. Thus, this match is of key importance for the future prospects of both teams at BLAST Open Spring 2025.
BLAST Open Spring 2025 will take place from March 19 to 30 in Lisbon and Copenhagen. The tournament will feature 16 teams competing for a prize pool of $400,000.
