Fnatic vs Team Vitality Predictions


Fnatic and Team Vitality will face off on Sunday, in the first week of the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) 2025 Winter, in what promises to be an exciting clash. Fnatic enter this match off a crushing loss, whereas Team Vitality picked up a victory on the first day of the new season and will look to keep their momentum going.

Betting sites have Fnatic billed as favourites for this series, which is not too shocking, but this is a huge price gap for the first week of the new season, especially in a best-of-one game.

Moreover, Fnatic looked awful on day one of the split, so you can not really make a strong case for them as the most likely victors.

  • Fnatic field a star-studded roster
  • Team Vitality looked much cleaner on day one
  • Back the underdogs

Head to Head


First clash of Fnatic and Team Vitality of 2025.

Fnatic Form


Fnatic looked awful on the first day of LEC 2025 Winter when they got smashed by Movistar KOI. In their defence, Movistar played well on the day; however, that does not take away from the fact that Fnatic were arguably the worst team of Day 1.

This is still a very strong roster, filled with star players. But all that means very little following their sluggish start to the season, so until they show some improvement, Fnatic are a team I will continue to doubt, especially as betting favourites.

Fnatic Squad & Team News


Fnatic have made no new changes.

  • Oscar "Oscarinin" Munoz – top lane
  • Ivan"Razork" Martin – jungle
  • Marek "Humanoid" Brazda– mid lane
  • Elias "Upset" Lipp – ADC
  • Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle – support

Team Vitality Form


Team Vitality got off to a perfect start to the new season. They rolled over Team BDS with a clean performance from all five players, proving to the world that they just might be ready to contest top finishes.

One game does not prove much, but Vitality gave me nothing to complain about as far as their performance against BDS is concerned. Admittedly, BDS are a weaker team than Fnatic, so it is not fair to expect another dominant showing on Sunday.

On the other side, Fnatic's performance against Movistar KOI left a lot to be desired and without significant improvement, they will be just as easy to break as Team BDS.

Team Vitality Squad & Team News


No changes for Vitality.

  • Kaan "Naak Nako" Okan – top lane
  • Linas "Lyncas" Nauncikas – jungle
  • Mateusz "Czajek" Czajka – mid lane
  • Matyáš "Carzzy" Orság – ADC
  • Zdravets "Hylissang" Galabov – support

Verdict

Fnatic will eventually emerge as one of the main LEC title contenders, and it is hard to doubt it. However, they had a shaky start to the season, and it is hard to believe they have managed to improve on such short notice.

Momentum is important in the early stages of a new split, and Vitality have plenty of it. Moreover, it is hard to make a case for Fnatic at this price, especially in a best-of-one game.

Normally it is not wise to overreact to one bad game, as it is no evidence of how the team will do the rest of the season. But if Vitality and Fnatic play at the same level they did on day one, Vitality should never be priced at this number.
