Jacob Fearnley v Luca Nardi

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

Lean
J. Fearnley to win1.45
Price too short today - wait for 1.50 or bigger · our chance 67% · market 67/33, us 67/33

J. Fearnley is 7-3 over the last ten and 18-17 on hard this season. L. Nardi is 5-5 over the last ten and 13-11 on hard this season. J. Fearnley retired from a match in the last month. The head to head is J. Fearnley 1-0.

The pick is J. Fearnley to win. We make it a 67% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.50 or bigger. At 1.45 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.
