Taro Daniel v Shintaro Mochizuki

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
T. Daniel to win1.68
Price too short today - wait for 1.72 or bigger · our chance 58% · market 57/43, us 58/42

T. Daniel is 5-5 over the last ten and 28-12 on hard this season. S. Mochizuki is 4-6 over the last ten and 13-22 on hard this season.

The pick is T. Daniel to win. We make it a 58% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.72 or bigger. At 1.68 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.
