Abedallah Shelbayh v Li Tu

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
A. Shelbayh to win1.59
Price too short today - wait for 1.64 or bigger · our chance 61% · market 59/41, us 61/39

A. Shelbayh is 4-6 over the last ten and 20-18 on hard this season. L. Tu is 3-7 over the last ten and 21-12 on hard this season.

The pick is A. Shelbayh to win. We make it a 61% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.64 or bigger. At 1.59 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

An opinion from the numbers, not a guarantee. 19+, bet responsibly.

Ranking points fall off a year after they are earned, so a player who went deep here last year must match it or drop in the rankings. That shapes effort in a way the price does not always show.
