Marco Trungelliti v Rei Sakamoto

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
R. Sakamoto to win1.51
Price too short today - wait for 1.54 or bigger · our chance 65% · market 36/64, us 35/65

R. Sakamoto is 7-3 over the last ten and 29-17 on hard this season. M. Trungelliti is 5-5 over the last ten and 8-9 on hard this season. The head to head is M. Trungelliti 1-0.

The pick is R. Sakamoto to win. We make it a 65% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.54 or bigger. At 1.51 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.
