LiontipsDiaz-Acosta vs. Sonego. Prediction and bets on the ATP Metz match
Command Analysis
Current form
Diaz Acosta is not in the best shape at the moment - he has failed the last four tournaments, losing in the opening match. Last week, the Argentinean took part in the Masters in Paris, where he lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the qualification. Facundo is playing indoors for the first time in his career - this year, he has lost three times in three matches on indoor hard courts.
Professional qualities
Diaz-Acosta playing style is entirely clay court oriented, where he prefers combination tennis, combining a confident baseline game with precise short shots and frequent trips to the net. The Argentine has excellent stamina and feels stable in long rallies, due to which he makes a minimum number of unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
Diaz Acosta can boast of one trophy won this season - on his specialty clay, he won a major competition in Buenos Aires. For the Argentine, this was the first ATP title in his career. In the world rankings, Facundo is currently in 66th place.

Diaz Acosta losing streak is now five games.
Current form
On indoor hard courts, Sonego has three wins in seven matches this season. Last week, the Italian took part in the Masters in Paris, where he managed to overcome the qualification, but lost to Nicolas Jarry in the first round of the main draw.
Professional qualities
Sonego, although a versatile player who can perform well on all surfaces, prefers clay. He prefers to hang back at the baseline, scoring points in long rallies with his powerful forehand, which is the main weapon in his arsenal along with his serve.

Due to his poor play this season, Sonego has dropped out of the top 50 in the world rankings and is currently ranked 52nd. However, it should be noted that Lorenzo has one trophy to his credit this year - in August, he won a major tournament in Winston-Salem. This was his fourth ATP title in his career.
