LOUD is a particularly tough team for the "oranges", as evidenced by their previous encounters. Therefore, the outcome of this match might result in an unexpected ending. Nonetheless, both bookmakers and fans seem to favor Fnatic more. Our editorial team also leans towards the same conclusion; even though LOUD might feel more confident in this clash, we predict a match result of 1:2 in favor of Fnatic.
