Natus Vincere vs Astralis Prediction: Favorite is an Obvious Choice

Prediction for the BLAST Premier World Final 2024 match, which will take place on October 30th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Andrey B1ad3 Gorodenskiy's team can take an experimental approach to the tournament. Any attempt to implement 100% of the pre-made tactics and tricks will reveal what the Europeans are preparing for the year's most important game. Still, Natus Vincere has a specific trait: the courage that has repeatedly seen Born to Win through to the playoffs.

Special mention should be made of Mihai iM Ivan, who has been experiencing a real swing for many months. Teammates admitted that the Romanian had confidence issues that affected his behavior. At the IEM Rio 2024, Mihai was able to redeem himself for his failure in Copenhagen and was once again one of the main players in Natus Vincere's lineup. In Singapore, the Romanian is expected to perform at least as well as he did in Rio de Janeiro.

The Danish team is not as strong as Natus Vincere. The current roster's main pick is Inferno, which Born to Win has played four times more often in the last three months. The same is true of in-depth stats. On average, Astralis wins around 5.8 rounds when they lose a match on Inferno. On the other hand, Natus Vincere gives up around eight rounds when they win. Theoretically, the Danes cannot beat NaVi even if given a few extra rounds.

The individual statistics are so uninspiring that, for some reason, Nikolai Reedtz suffered the most from Kasper Møller's transition. The main star found it tough to shake off his captaincy duties and switch to a more open sniper role without too many tasks. They both have a 2.1 HLTV rating, with 0.71 and 0.81, respectively. We're looking forward to seeing progress made since Rio de Janeiro in Singapore.

We're not making it more complicated than it needs to be. Our main bet is that Natus Vincere will win the series. There's a big gap in rounds on each of the maps, so we'll get under 46 rounds for the match. It's pretty unlikely that Natus Vincere will get a handicap of 3 rounds, regardless of the pick. But it's definitely a possibility for the Europeans.
