Astralis vs Team Falcons Prediction 5 November 2025
🔊 IEM Chengdu 2025 continues to surprise. Astralis, who failed to make the playoffs at the PGL Masters Bucharest 2025, are now eyeing a spot in the semifinals at the championship in China. However, standing in the way of the Danes this time are Team Falcons, who steamrolled their opponents at the start of the tournament. Can the Scandinavians pull off another upset and take down NiKo and his squad?
Head-to-Head
In 2025, the teams clashed only twice: in February during PGL Cluj-Napoca, the Danes managed to take a map but ultimately lost 1-2. Then, at the beginning of October in ESL Pro League 22, the Danes suffered a crushing defeat, securing just 14 rounds across two maps.

Astralis Team Overview
Astralis, after securing silver at the PGL Astana 2025 and FISSURE Playground 2025, have struggled to deliver consistent results, often finishing near the bottom in most tournaments. Before this championship, they traveled to the PGL Masters Bucharest 2025, where they failed to make it to the playoffs, and to make matters worse, device fell ill - things were certainly not looking up for the Scandinavians. However, at the championship in Chengdu, they first managed to defeat NAVI, which no one saw coming. Even more surprising was their subsequent victory over The MongolZ, sweeping them 2-0. Magisk and jabbi stepped up their game, posting event ratings of 1.17 and 1.10, respectively. Yet, with these guys, it's entirely unpredictable what to expect, given their inconsistency.

The Falcons appear to have finally struck a balance between individual prowess and team confidence. This tournament showcases their impressive form. m0NESY boasts an extraordinary rating of 1.72, while kyxsan surprises with a solid 1.18. Overall, no one seems to be underperforming, which first led to a dominant win over Lynn Vision and then a convincing victory against Spirit. Notably, NiKo and company excelled on the first map, which was their opponent's pick, conceding only six rounds.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Victories over NAVI and The MongolZ haven't instilled much confidence in the bookmakers regarding Astralis. Their odds of winning against Falcons stand at 6, which fairly reflects the Scandinavians' chances of success. If the Falcons managed to shut down Spirit 2-0 in this tournament, they should face even fewer challenges against the Danes, who are evidently weaker than the 'Dragons'. Moreover, their last head-to-head clash, almost exactly a month ago, ended in a rout. A similar outcome could very well occur this time around, so we suggest backing Falcons to win with a -1.5 map handicap in this matchup.
