On August 8, 2025, at 17:00 CEST, Team Vitality will face BBL Esports in a best-of-three series as part of the group stage of VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 2. We have analyzed the statistics and current form of the teams to make a prediction for the match result. Watch the match live here.

Current form of the teams

Recently, Team Vitality has been going through a difficult period with inconsistent results, which began with the decision to replace two players, sayf and trexx. The team's overall win rate stands at 51%, but over the past six months, it has dropped to 41%. In the last month, the situation has worsened further — only 33% wins. Team Vitality recently lost matches against Team Heretics and GIANTX but managed to secure a win over FUT Esports. Over the past six months, the team has earned $35,000, placing them 19th in the prize money rankings. In the Esports World Cup 2025: EMEA Qualifier, they finished in 7th–8th place.

BBL Esports, on the other hand, is currently in slightly better form. Over the past six months, their win rate stands at 65%, although it has dropped to 40% in the last month. A recent victory over Gentle Mates should boost their confidence ahead of this match. In the past six months, the team has earned $40,000, placing them 18th in the prize money rankings. At the Esports World Cup 2025, they delivered a respectable performance for their international debut, finishing in 5th–8th place.

Head-to-Head

In previous encounters, Team Vitality and BBL Esports have shown evenly matched competition. Their most recent match, held on July 5, 2024, ended with a 2:1 victory for Team Vitality. Meanwhile, on April 21, 2023, BBL Esports claimed a confident 2:0 win over Team Vitality — but both teams had entirely different rosters at the time. Therefore, head-to-head results should not be taken into account in the final prediction, as those matches were played a long time ago and both teams have undergone significant roster changes.

Match Prediction

Considering the current form and statistics, BBL Esports are the favorites in this matchup, although the gap between the teams is not significant at the moment. Their higher win rate over the past six months and recent results are likely to have a positive impact on the outcome of this match. We predict a 2:1 victory for the Turkish team over Team Vitality.

Prediction: Team Vitality 1:2 BBL Esports

VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 2 takes place from July 16 to August 31 in Germany, with a prize pool of $250,000 and 2 slot at Champions 2025. You can follow the news, schedule, and tournament results here.
