VCT 2025 EMEA Stage 1 betting predictions – Friday, April 4

The second week of VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2025 EMEA Stage 1 comes to an end on Friday, April 4, when Team Vitality face off against Fnatic, followed by a clash between Karmine Corp and the winless KOI. Check out our VALORANT betting picks for the day, with esports odds courtesy of the best betting sites in United States.

Fnatic picked up a 2-0 sweep of Natus Vincere in the opening week of the split, whereas Team Vitality ran over GIANTX with a 26-11 combined round record.

With that victory, Vitality are 7-2 on the season, which includes losses against G2 Esports and T1 during VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025, where the Bees placed fourth.

As the only undefeated team of VCT EMEA Kickoff, Vitality are rightly priced as favourites for this match by the top VALORANT betting sites.

Fnatic have looked improved this stage and are likely to put up a fight. But until Fnatic produce a good game against a strong team, it is fair to doubt them and their chances of beating Vitality.

KOI enter their second match of VCT 2025 EMEA Stage 1 as +150 underdogs to defeat the struggling Karmine Corp, who lost to BBL Esports 1-2 last Wednesday.

KOI, like Karmine Corp, did not win their first match of the stage, but they played well against FUT Esports, who Xavier “flyuh” Carlson and co. forced into overtime on Lotus.

Looking at the first week’s performances, KOI hardly played any worse than Karmine Corp. But that does not take away from the fact that Karmine Corp have a higher ceiling and should be a much scarier team than their 2025 results would lead us to believe.

Karmine Corp should win, but it is unlikely for the match to end in a sweep. Take over 2.5 maps.
