David Goffin v Alex Michelsen

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
A. Michelsen to win 2-01.30
Price too short today - wait for 1.44 or bigger · our chance 69% · market 10/90, us 7/93

A. Michelsen is 6-4 over the last ten and 28-14 on hard this season. D. Goffin is 3-7 over the last ten and 1-6 on hard this season.

The pick is A. Michelsen to win 2-0. We make it a 69% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.44 or bigger. At 1.30 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.
