Tyler Zink v Mitchell Krueger

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
M. Krueger to win1.65
Price too short today - wait for 1.71 or bigger · our chance 59% · market 43/57, us 41/59

M. Krueger is 5-5 over the last ten and 9-16 on hard this season. T. Zink is 3-7 over the last ten and 18-18 on hard this season. The head to head is T. Zink 1-1.

The pick is M. Krueger to win. We make it a 59% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.71 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.
