Team Vitality vs OG Prediction: Team Vitality is an absolute favorite

Prediction for the IEM Cologne 2023 Team Vitality vs OG match which will take place on July 30th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Even though Heroic is in the top 1 of the HLTV rating, Team Vitality won many S-tournaments in 2023. It managed to celebrate its victory at the home major in Paris. Before that ZywOo had the IEM Rio 2023 trophy. Also in the asset, there is silver BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2023, top 8 at ESL Pro League Season 17, and IEM Katowice 2023.

ZywOo is like wine – it gets more stable and better. Mathieu became the MVP at the winning events and was statistically best at ESL Pro League Season 17 and IEM Katowice 2023. His average figures in 2023 are 1.31 HLTV ratings, 84 damage per round, 0.82 kills, 0.57 deaths, and the impact is 1.36. No one has had better results this year.

Team Vitality shows a disciplined game; if something goes wrong, there is ZywOo, who can play solo.

OG was disappointed in the last roster and decided to make extreme changes. Degster, NEOFRAG, and flameZ left the lineup. A rifler from BIG k1to, from Fnatic FASHR, and a young Belgian sniper regali were taken to F1KU. That is all because OG had no success at the S-level or tier-2 stage.

In the play-in, the team lost in the extra rounds on 9INE (17-19) but won in the lower bracket of Complexity and Apeks (both with a score of 2:0). Regali entered the top 10 players of the tournament (1.21 HLTV rating), four of the five team members scored 1.1 HLTV rating. A good result on pistols is 7-3 for five maps. OG takes 59% of rounds and plays defense perfectly (68% win rate). But Complexity is still learning to play with the beginner EliGE, and Apeks. Although it entered the top 3 majors, it was a loud sensation and didn't have a stable level of play.

Newcomers inspire doubts. Highlights with misses more often remember K1to. FASHR in Fnatic was extremely unstable. Regali is generally unknown to the public, and there is no understanding yet of how he will show himself at S-tournaments. 

Team Vitality is an absolute favorite. ZywOo&Co skillfully close such a series with a score of 2:0, and it is unlikely that OG will find a way to change the situation.
