Hiroki Moriya v Taisei Ichikawa

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
H. Moriya to win 2-01.72
Price too short today - wait for 2.32 or bigger · our chance 43% · market 68/32, us 73/27

H. Moriya is 4-6 over the last ten and 31-29 on hard this season. T. Ichikawa is 6-4 over the last ten and 27-27 on hard this season. T. Ichikawa has played 4 matches in seven days. The head to head is H. Moriya 1-0.

The pick is H. Moriya to win 2-0. We make it a 43% chance, so it is only worth backing at 2.32 or bigger. At 1.72 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.
