We analyzed the teams' form and their head-to-head encounters to make a prediction on the outcome. You can follow the match via this link.

Current Team Form

Fnatic is experiencing significant difficulties in the group stage, having won only 1 out of their last 5 matches. Their sole victory came against WYLDE (1:0), while they suffered defeats against Team Secret, Virtus.pro, and Wolves Esports—all with a score of 0:1. Despite their reputation, Fnatic's current form leaves much to be desired: only 20% win rate and a lack of confidence in their gameplay.

MACKO Esports, on the other hand, are on an excellent streak. With a 60% win rate over the last five matches, they have defeated opponents such as Virtus.pro, Team BDS, Gen.G Esports, and Team Falcons—each match ending in a 1:0 victory. Their only loss was to Team Secret, after which they quickly returned to their winning ways.

Head-to-Head Encounters

Interestingly, Fnatic won both of their last encounters against MACKO Esports—both ended with a 1:0 score, but these matches took place several months ago, before MACKO's current performance.

Prediction 

Despite Fnatic's more successful history in head-to-head encounters, the current form and winning streak are definitely on the side of MACKO Esports. The team is showing mature and confident play against top opponents. Fnatic, however, is facing instability and pressure.

Prediction: MACKO Esports 1:0 Fnatic
