Ivan Gakhov v Yanaki Milev

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
I. Gakhov to win1.67
Price too short today - wait for 1.85 or bigger · our chance 54% · market 56/44, us 54/46

I. Gakhov is 5-5 over the last ten and 12-14 on clay this season. Y. Milev is 8-2 over the last ten and 25-22 on clay this season. The head to head is I. Gakhov 1-0.

The pick is I. Gakhov to win. We make it a 54% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.85 or bigger. At 1.67 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.
