Michael Zheng v Yaojie Zeng

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
M. Zheng to win1.01
Price too short today - wait for 1.09 or bigger · our chance 92% · market 91/9, us 92/8

M. Zheng is 6-4 over the last ten and 20-11 on hard this season. Y. Zeng is 4-6 over the last ten and 14-18 on hard this season.

The pick is M. Zheng to win. We make it a 92% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.09 or bigger. At 1.01 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.
