Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
J. P. Varillas to win 2-01.55
Price too short today - wait for 1.79 or bigger · our chance 56% · market 20/80, us 16/84

J. P. Varillas is 8-2 over the last ten and 24-17 on clay this season. M. A. Dellien Velasco is 4-6 over the last ten and 16-18 on clay this season. The head to head is M. A. Dellien Velasco 1-2.

The pick is J. P. Varillas to win 2-0. We make it a 56% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.79 or bigger. At 1.55 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.
