Jiri Lehecka v Valentin Vacherot

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
J. Lehecka to win1.56
Price too short today - wait for 1.65 or bigger · our chance 61% · market 62/38, us 61/39

J. Lehecka is 8-2 over the last ten and 22-12 on hard this season. V. Vacherot is 7-3 over the last ten and 13-12 on hard this season. The head to head is J. Lehecka 0-1.

The pick is J. Lehecka to win. We make it a 61% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.65 or bigger. At 1.56 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.
