LiontipsPablo Cuevas vs Norbert Gombos. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Bastad (July 13, 2021).
Command Analysis
At 35, Cuevas feels very comfortable on clay courts. Just recently, the Uruguayan tennis player won a trophy in Lyon. In the 2021 Lyon Challenger final, Pablo beat Elias Ymer in straight sets (6-2, 6-2). But since the start of the grass part of the tour, Cuevas has seemingly disappeared: he lost in the first rounds of the Mallorca Open and Wimbledon.
Gombos looks just as great on clay this season. The representative of Slovakia has visited three quarterfinals and one semifinal so far this year. However, Norbert's performance at Roland Garros was very disappointing. Some might say that Norbert was simply unlucky in pairs, as already in the first round he was matched against Pablo Carreno-Busta, who easily sent Gombos home (3-6, 4-6, 3-6).

Tip and bets
On clay, Cuevas is definitely stronger than Gombos. However, Pablo had already lost to the Slovakian player before, so we believe that the underdog has a good chance. We suggest betting on Gombos's victory with a positive handicap.
Our prediction - Gombos to win with a handicap (+4)
Cuevas is the favorite of the match, but we think that this match won't be so easy for the Uruguayan. The only head-to-head match between these players ended in Gombos's victory. And so we are looking forward to a long-lasting battle and three sets.
