Actually, the only thing supporting a 1v1 battle between Zeref and Natsu is Zeref's insistence that that's how it needs to be. Every other major boss fight Natsu has had has never been alone and has involved someone else at least assisting in the form of support or a power-up: Lullaby - Natsu, Erza and Gray; ToH - Erza's previous battle being the deciding factor; BoFT - Gajeel taking Laxus' final blow for him; OS - Jellal's power-up; Edolas - Plus Gajeel and Wendy; Tenrou - Plus Team Natsu; GMG - Plus Atlas Flame; Tartaros - Plus Twin Dragons and Gray.

The core idea of FT is that friendship and love beat anything, and I'd be willing to bet that's how Zeref falls. His insistence that he is alone will be his downfall. Natsu, with the help of his friends, will prevail. I am 99% convinced this is how it will go down, so even if there's a 1v1 fight at some point, I don't think it's only Natsu who will take out the final, overarching boss in FT.

Besides, Natsu already tried to face Zeref alone and look how that turned out .-. But, you can think what you like anon. I don't really care tbh :/
