LiontipsGasquet vs Monteiro. Prediction and bets on the ATP Metz match
Command Analysis
Current form
Gasquet has won just two of his nine matches on indoor hard courts this season. Richard lost to Ziz Bergs in the first round of the recent Paris Masters and failed to qualify for the Vienna tournament a week earlier.
Professional qualities
Gasquet cannot boast of powerful physical data, his serves and strikes from both sides are not distinguished by power. But the French maestro compensates for this with excellent technique and incredible accuracy. Well, and do not forget about the excellent one-handed backhand, which is in Richard arsenal - his left hand is always unpredictable.
Current indicators in the tour
Gasquet is a former world No. 7 but currently sits outside the top 100 at No. 133. The Frenchman has one trophy to his name this season, winning the Cassis Challenger at home on open hard courts in September.
Interesting facts for betting
Gasquet has won just two of his last eight games.
Current form
Monteiro took part in the tournament in Bratislava last week. In that competition, the Brazilian tennis player failed to pass the qualification, losing to Alibek Kachmazov in the final. Indoors, Thiago has only one victory in four matches this year.
Professional qualities
Monteiro prefers an aggressive style and has a good serve and a strong forehand, but his best qualities are shown mainly on clay. On outdoor hard courts, the Brazilian’s results are modest, and he practically does not perform indoors.
Current indicators in the tour
Monteiro is in the bottom 100 of the world rankings. This season, Thiago has no trophies or even finals played. In March, he reached the semifinals of the clay challenger in Santa Cruz and in July, he played in the semifinals of the competition in Salzburg.
Interesting facts for betting
Monteiro has not reached beyond the first round of any indoor tournament this season.

2.38Tip and bets
Monteiro is a clay court player, so you shouldn't expect any serious results from the Brazilian on hard courts. And even more so on indoor hard courts, where he has played only 13 matches in his career. We're betting on Gasquet in this matchup.
Our prediction is Gasquet victory with odds of 1.77
Bet on total
We expect that the upcoming match will be under Gasquet control. However, due to his age, it is unlikely that Richard will win a crushing victory - in one of the games, Monteiro is quite capable of outrunning the Frenchman.
The second forecast is total over 24 games with odds of 1.99
Bet on the first set
Four of Monteiro last five matches have seen more than 9.5 games played in the first set. We expect the upcoming Thiago vs. Gasquet match to also start with a top-heavy first set.
Forecast - total over 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.67
