Fnatic vs Ninjas in Pyjamas Prediction: NiP Doesn't Look the Favorite

Prediction for the BLAST.tv Paris Major Fnatic vs Ninjas in Pyjamas match which will take place on May 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Fnatic

Current HLTV rating: #15.

Changes within the last three months: -6.

Best map in terms of win rate: Overpass - 80% in 10 maps.

Worst map: Mirage - 0% for three maps.

After a successful RMR, Fnatic played at IEM Rio 2023. The team could have done their best and took only 9-12th place. All leaders were slacking in their shooting and were saving energy for the Paris majors. Fnatic should have no problem with the map pool in the upcoming match. The Europeans will remove Mirage, Inferno, and Vertigo, leaving only comfortable ones. On Anubis, Fnatic has a lousy win rate, but NiP doesn't pick it at all, so there isn't a threat from this map. On all other maps, Fnatic feels confident. Remember that the opponent has already played four games in the tournament.

Ninjas in Pyjamas

Current HLTV Rating: #14.

Last three months' changes: +3.

Best map in terms of win rate: Mirage - 79% over 14 maps.

Worst map: Ancient - 29% over seven maps.

Ninjas in Pyjamas made their way to the BLAST.tv Paris Major from the Challengers stage. That's not to say that the team got severe challenges - three of four opponents failed to qualify for the next stage, and NiP lost their match against ENCE without a chance. The young sharpshooter is the team's main attacking force right now. If it's not his lucky day, winning will be nearly impossible. As for the upcoming matchup, the team will likely get rid of Anubis, Nuke, and Ancient and pick Overpass, where they won in the last face-off. However, it's the opponent's best map, which makes this choice less reliable. Nevertheless, NiP has very few official matches on Nuke, and the team looks weak on Ancient. Although when this card was introduced, Ninjas in Pyjamas was one of the best teams and the first to choose it in official matches.

Expert Betting Tips

Ninjas in Pyjamas made it through the first stage of the majors in Paris, but we can not call the team's game confident. The team beat only those teams that did not qualify for the Legends but lost to ENCE without a chance.
