Nuno Borges v Alex Molcan

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

Lean
N. Borges to win1.65
Price too short today - wait for 1.75 or bigger · our chance 57% · market 58/42, us 57/43

N. Borges is 5-5 over the last ten and 20-16 on hard this season. A. Molcan is 7-3 over the last ten and 16-10 on hard this season. N. Borges has played 4 matches in seven days. A. Molcan withdrew from a match in the last month.

The pick is N. Borges to win. We make it a 57% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.75 or bigger. At 1.65 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.
