On July 7, we have an action-packed day ahead in the group stage of the Europe MENA League 2025 — Stage 1. The spotlight will be on matches featuring Falcons, Team Secret, Gen.G, and other favorites. We've analyzed the current form of the teams, win rates, and map pool specifics to highlight the 5 best bets for July 7.

MACKO Esports to win against Wolves Esports (1.50)

MACKO Esports approach this match in a more confident state — the team has already proven its competitiveness in the group stage of the Europe MENA League 2025 by defeating opponents like Gen.G and BDS. Their game shows structured defense and well-thought-out map picks, which is especially important in the BO1 format. In contrast, Wolves Esports have yet to impress: losses to G2 and Secret have revealed issues in communication and execution in crucial rounds. Against the backdrop of MACKO's stable and strategically sound play, Wolves appear less prepared. Considering the current form, MACKO objectively seem stronger, and betting on their victory is quite justified.

G2 Esports to win against Fnatic (1.32)

G2 Esports continue to prove they're in excellent form. The team consistently wins in the group stage, demonstrating a high level of discipline and individual shooting skills. In matches against Virtus.pro and Wolves, they showed character, confidently closing out the opponent in the final moments. Fnatic, on the other hand, can't find stability — losses in key matches and weak economic control put them in a vulnerable position. G2 also has a strong advantage in terms of leadership: smart adaptation during the map gives the team the necessary edge. Considering all factors, a G2 victory seems the most logical and safest choice.

Gen.G to win against BDS (2.10)

Despite the odds, Gen.G are quite capable of defeating BDS — in recent games, they've shown confident teamwork and the ability to control the pace from the start of the map. The team successfully handles pressure and shows flexibility in strategy. BDS, on the other hand, appear unconvincing: losses to Secret and Wolves demonstrate a lack of clear structure in their game. In matches against Gen.G, they haven't had a significant advantage, and the players themselves made too many individual mistakes. In their current form, Gen.G look more composed and capable of seizing their chances even against a renowned opponent.

Team Secret to win against Team Falcons (2.20)

Team Secret is one of the most underrated teams at this stage of the tournament. Despite their underdog status, the team shows mature play: a victory over BDS (7:4) and a rout of WYLDE (7:1) are proof of that. The team demonstrates excellent shooting in the early stages of rounds and skillfully plays aggressively, which is particularly effective in BO1. Although Team Falcons are considered one of the favorites of the Europe MENA League 2025 — Stage 1, they don't yet look flawless. The team is indeed at the top of the table but makes mistakes in matches against organized opponents. Specifically, the loss to Gen.G (4:7) showed that even with a high individual level, Falcons players sometimes falter under pressure.
