Mattia Bellucci v Shintaro Mochizuki

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

Lean
M. Bellucci to win1.35
Price too short today - wait for 1.47 or bigger · our chance 68% · market 68/32, us 68/32

M. Bellucci is 8-2 over the last ten and 25-18 on hard this season. S. Mochizuki is 6-4 over the last ten and 17-23 on hard this season.

The pick is M. Bellucci to win. We make it a 68% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.47 or bigger. At 1.35 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.
