Alexei Popyrin has won three of his last five matches. Popyrin won both matches in three tight sets this week in Monte Carlo. Today, in the second round, after losing the opening set 3-6, Popyrin stepped up and turned the match against Tiafoe.
Casper Ruud has won three of his last five matches. In the opening round match, he easily defeated Bautista-Agut in straight sets. He served excellently, not offering any breakpoints. Last season in Monte Carlo, Ruud lost against Tsitsipas in the final.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Ruud is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He is one of the best clay court players in the draw. On the other hand, Popyrin usually underperforms on clay courts and has struggled in both matches this week. We expect Ruud to dominate in this match and win again in straight sets.
That being said, Ruud winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Casper Ruud winning 2-0 @1.80 @bet365

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Berrettini defeated one of the biggest favorites, Alexander Zverev. On the other hand, Musetti had a favorable draw but struggled in both matches. We expect Berrettini to be a better player tomorrow.
