Cilic has been showing good form in recent weeks, with tight matches against Djokovic and Ruud, as well as a landslide victory over Walton. Marin is definitely the favorite in the upcoming match, but we still don't think this meeting will be easy for the Croat. After all, he is 4-5 points behind Goffin in personal meetings.
Our prediction is that Goffin will win with a handicap of (+3) games for a coefficient of 1.75
