MOUZ vs Team Vitality Predictions

MOUZ and Team Vitality will battle it out for the ESL Pro League Season 21 trophy on Sunday, March 16, as they face off in a rematch from Stage 2, when Vitality won in two maps.

The French team are billed as firm favourites for the grand finals, which makes sense as they had an easy time beating MOUZ in their clash last week.

However, MOUZ have since looked much stabler and enter the grand final off a massive victory against Team Spirit, which should be proof enough that MOUZ can perform at the highest level.

Team Vitality are rightly the favoured team, but I do not agree with MOUZ being priced at over 4.00 on the top crypto betting sites. Punters can find value in backing the underdogs to surprise.

Team Vitality last met with MOUZ in the third round of ESL Pro League Season 21 Stage 2, when they won in two maps.

MOUZ have made their second consecutive grand final in an S-Tier tournament after winning PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 at the end of February. They, however, had a bit of a slow start to the tournament, needing four rounds to make it through Stage 2, with a loss against Vitality (0-2) and wins against Team Falcons (2-0), FURIA (2-1), and Team Liquid (2-0).

Despite the somewhat shaky start to Stage 2, MOUZ managed a much more inspiring run through the playoffs, with two 2-1 victories against G2 Esports and the other tournament favourites, Team Spirit (2-1).

Torzsi, who enters the finals as the seventh-highest-rated player of the tournament, was the main factor in MOUZ’s recent resurgence, averaging a 1.19 and 1.26 performance rating against G2 and Team Spirit, respectively. XertioN was close behind with a 1.12 average rating in both series.

Team Vitality Form

Team Vitality entered ESL Pro League Season 21 as one of the leading favourites to win the tournament, and they’re on a good path to do just that. The Bees have not dropped a series in ESL Pro League Season 21 and have looked good across the two playoff fixtures.

Vitality started the playoffs with a comfortable 2-0 sweep of Team Liquid, and in the semifinals, added a 2-1 victory against The MongolZ, whom Vitality beat with 13-4 on Anubis, 14-16 on Nuke, and 13-2 on Inferno.

It was a dominant display from Vitality, who crushed MongolZ on maps one and three, largely thanks to ZywOo and flameZ, who posted 1.45 and 1.58 performance ratings, respectively.

Verdict

MOUZ v Team Vitality

Team Vitality are on a 10-game winning streak, which includes a 2-0 sweep of MOUZ in the second stage of ESL Pro League Season 21, so it is easy to believe they can defeat MOUZ again on Sunday.

However, MOUZ have, since Stage 2, shown improvement and look better prepared to push Vitality to their limits, suggesting that their tag as 4.33 underdogs is a bit overexaggerated.

As much as this is Vitality’s game to lose, MOUZ can do some serious damage, especially if we see more from Spinx, who will have to show more for his side to have a chance. He had a few solid showings this tournament, including a 1.83 rating against Liquid on Nuke, so there is a world where MOUZ’s recent addition steps up.

I do not expect to see an upset, but MOUZ can take a map.
