Lorenzo Musetti and Alexei Popyrin Betting Odds

Lorenzo Musetti is a slight favorite going into this match with -167 odds to win while Alexei Popyrin is at 132.

The total games margin is 21.5 with -167 for over and 128 for under.



Betting Tip

Both players have huge potential but none of them has made a major success yet. Musetti is the better player among the two put his main surface is clay while Popyrin enjoys playing on hard. Musetti won the match against Popyrin last week at the challenger in Phoenix and has won the last three matchups overall against the Australian which certainly gives him some sort of advantage.

Popyrin had a great serve and hopefully will be able to take at least one set over the 10.5 games margin, meaning that in that scenario our prediction is very likely to happen. Therefore my suggestion for this game is ever 21.5 games for 1.60.
