Goncalo Marques v Nikolas Sanchez Izquierdo

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
N. Sanchez Izquierdo to win1.14
Price too short today - wait for 1.20 or bigger · our chance 84% · market 16/84, us 16/84

N. Sanchez Izquierdo is 6-4 over the last ten and 27-19 on clay this season. G. Marques is 7-3 over the last ten and 3-3 on clay this season. G. Marques retired from a match in the last month.

The pick is N. Sanchez Izquierdo to win. We make it a 84% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.20 or bigger. At 1.14 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.
