Braden Shick v Darwin Blanch

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

Lean
Dar. Blanch to win1.27
Price too short today - wait for 1.34 or bigger · our chance 75% · market 25/75, us 25/75

Dar. Blanch is 7-3 over the last ten and 23-20 on hard this season. B. Shick is 5-5 over the last ten and 40-16 on hard this season.

The pick is Dar. Blanch to win. We make it a 75% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.34 or bigger. At 1.27 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.
