Akira Santillan v Luka Pavlovic

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
L. Pavlovic to win1.59
Price too short today - wait for 1.60 or bigger · our chance 63% · market 42/58, us 37/63

L. Pavlovic is 5-5 over the last ten and 13-10 on hard this season. A. Santillan is 4-6 over the last ten and 22-22 on hard this season. The head to head is A. Santillan 0-1.

The pick is L. Pavlovic to win. We make it a 63% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.60 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.
