Simon Dalton presents his prediction bet on match of ATP Umag.
Bookmakers don't believe in the experienced Lajovic in this upcoming match. They see him as the underdog against Cobolli. Yes, the Italian is talented and has had some success. But he often struggles on court and wins tough matches with close scores. He sometimes loses control of the game for no reason. This year, 5 out of his 11 clay court wins went to three sets. Cobolli beat Mariano Navone easily in the first round in Umag, but will he play that well again? Especially against Dusan, who is experienced and tough.
Lajovic has similar clay court stats this season. Despite losing matches, he always puts in a lot of effort. In his recent clay losses, he won sets against Sebastian Baez and Taylor Fritz. His start in Umag was hard. He played three sets against Filip Misolic, but was good in the final set. It’s worth noting this tournament always goes quite well for Dusan. He won it once and made it to the quarterfinals twice.
We think Lajovic may surprise the audience in a game with the inconsistent Italian and finish this match winning with +3 game spread at 1.80 at 10bet.
