Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
J. P. Varillas to win1.79
Price too short today - wait for 1.81 or bigger · our chance 56% · market 47/53, us 44/56

J. P. Varillas is 7-3 over the last ten and 26-19 on clay this season. F. Meligeni Alves is 5-5 over the last ten and 18-10 on clay this season. The head to head is F. Meligeni Alves 1-2.

The pick is J. P. Varillas to win. We make it a 56% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.81 or bigger. At 1.79 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.
