Goncalo Marques v Petr Nesterov

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
P. Nesterov to win 2-02.09
Price too short today - wait for 2.59 or bigger · our chance 39% · market 34/66, us 32/68

P. Nesterov is 6-4 over the last ten and 31-14 on clay this season. G. Marques is 6-4 over the last ten and 2-2 on clay this season. G. Marques retired from a match in the last month.

The pick is P. Nesterov to win 2-0. We make it a 39% chance, so it is only worth backing at 2.59 or bigger. At 2.09 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.
