Tiago Cacao v Milos Karol

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanLOST
M. Karol to win1.69
Price too short today - wait for 1.76 or bigger · our chance 57% · market 45/55, us 43/57

M. Karol is 6-4 over the last ten and 3-5 on clay this season. T. Cacao is 5-5 over the last ten and 3-4 on clay this season.

The pick is M. Karol to win. We make it a 57% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.76 or bigger. At 1.69 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.
