Team Oplon have a massive task at hand as they look to chart a comeback trail at the LFL Summer split. Ahead of this game week, they were in ninth place with a 18% win rate. They will play Vitality Bee later this week in a contest where they’re heavy underdogs. Vitality Bee have won their last three matches in a row and will be favorites to cruise to a win.
Vitality Bee vs Team Oplon Match Prediction
Vitality Bee have strong metrics
There is a massive gulf between these sides and Vitality Bee are on the favorable side of that divide. Diplex currently has an average kill rate of 4.27, the highest for Vitality, while the corresponding leader for Oplon is Xicor with 2.82. Vitality’s kills-to-death ratio is currently 2.20, as compared to Oplon’s paltry 0.56. Throw in the kills per game rate – 17.6 vs 9.4 – and you can see that this will be a clash of two teams who are playing on entirely different levels.
Vitality have been close to their imperious best so far, and their 8.1 towers killed metric is among the top three in the league. Their only concern was that the start of their tournament was a wobbly one and that record has somewhat been set straight with their three wins from three matches recently; I expect that streak to grow further.
Oplon don’t look like they can challenge
Team Oplon had an ominous start to the tournament when they faced Karime and LDLC OL in the first week and were defeated so thoroughly that it is hardly a surprise that they are among the bottom two teams at the moment. They’ve also already been bloodied once at the hands of Vitality Bee before this game, while GameWard have piled on the misery as well. Only when playing against Mirage Elyandra – the one team this season that has done worse than Oplon – did they finally pick up one of their two wins, although there were glimpses of a fighting spirit against Team BDS Academy; ultimately though, glimpses of a fight aren’t what win you games at this level and it is safe to say that Oplon have been handed a serious reality check this season. Their deaths per game currently sits at a rate of 16.8 after 11 games – no team is close to being as bad on that metric this season.
Vitality Bee vs Team Oplon Betting Prediction
Vitality Bee have been pretty aggressive this season, with a first tower metric of 90.9%, a first blood metric that matches that, and damage per minute at 2383. I expect them to start as thunderously as those numbers suggest they will, and I expect Team Oplon to have few answers in response. This is going to be one of the most one-sided fixtures this week.
