Taberner vs Travaglia: who is the favourite?
On July 21, Carlos Taberner takes on Stefano Travaglia in the second round of the tournament in Umag. Who will be the winner of this match? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Carlos Taberner
SpainTaberner scored a confident victory over Nino Serdarusic in the first round of the Croatia Open in Umag (6-2, 6-2). Carlos plays most of his matches on clay this season. Most recently, he won a challenger in France, after which, he was out of sight for a while. But we do expect a solid performance from the Spaniard in Umag.
Stefano Travaglia
ItalyTravaglia won an unexpected victory over Jaume Munar in the first round of the tournament in Umag. Stefano beat the clay court specialist from Spain in two sets (6-3, 7-6). This victory should definitely boost the Italian's confidence: earlier this season Travaglia's game was unconvincing. Only at the start of the tour, Stefano performed well in Melbourne, but after that, he was eliminated from the tournaments in the opening matches.
Trends
СтавкаTie-break - yes
Travaglia has played 4 tie-breaks in the last 5 matches.
Ставка1st set: total under 9.5
Fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set in 3 of Taberner's last 5 matches.
Tip and bets
The opponents approach the match in a similar form, but Taberner is a clay court specialist, besides, Carlos is playing the season much better than Travaglia. So in this pair, we prefer the Spanish tennis player. Travaglia, after a successful performance in Melbourne at the beginning of the year, was eliminated from every tournament immediately. We think the same awaits him in Umag.
Our prediction - Taberner to win.
Travaglia has lost 8 out of 13 matches this season. This is not the best result for the Italian tennis player. Taberner is a difficult opponent for Stefano, and we don't expect a close fight. The Spaniard is in great shape, and he should win confidently.
Second prediction - total under 24 games.
