Massimo Giunta v Sebastiano Cocola

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

Lean
M. Giunta to win1.12
Price too short today - wait for 1.18 or bigger · our chance 85% · market 84/16, us 85/15

M. Giunta is 6-4 over the last ten. S. Cocola is 5-5 over the last ten.

The pick is M. Giunta to win. We make it a 85% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.18 or bigger. At 1.12 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.
