LiontipsBonzi vs Ruud. Prediction and bets on the ATP Metz match
Command Analysis
Current form
Bonzi beat Roberto Bautista Agut (7-6, 6-3) in the first round of the competition in Metz. Benjamin served nine aces, converted three break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against the Spaniard. The Frenchman has 20 wins and six losses indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Bonzi spends a lot of time playing indoors and has the qualities needed to succeed on indoor surfaces. He has a powerful serve, especially the first one, and he is active at the net. In rallies, the Frenchman holds his own with solid shots from both sides.
Current indicators in the tour
Bonzi has won two indoor titles this season, winning the Roanne and Saint-Brieuc Challengers. The Frenchman also won the Winnipeg Open Hard Court Tournament this year. Benjamin is currently ranked 124th in the world.

Professional qualities
Ruud excels on clay, where he has won several tournaments in his career. However, he often lacks consistency off clay. Casper shots lack the punch needed to thrive on both indoor and outdoor hard courts.

2.28Tip and bets
Ruud traditionally has a bad second half of the season. He has to play indoors, and this surface does not quite suit Casper playing style. The Norwegian left the last two tournaments after the opening matches. Most likely, the same fate awaits him in Metz.
Our prediction is Bonzi victory with odds of 2.15
Bet on total
Ruud is the favorite in this pair according to bookmakers. However, we believe that Kasper is not up to the task at the moment, as he is not in his best form. We suggest betting on the total over games in this match.
The second forecast is total over 23 games for odds of 1.88
Bet on the first set
Three of Ruud last five matches have seen the first set go over 9.5 games, so we expect Casper upcoming match against Bonzi to also start with a top-heavy first set.
Forecast - total over 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.61
