Auger-Aliassime vs Lopez Betting Odds and Predictions
Although Feliciano Lopez is the former champion here who loves to play on the grass court, the bookies consider Felix Auger-Aliassime as a favourite. You can take the Canadian at 4/9 with Bet365 and Betway, while Lopez is listed at 7/4 on the same platforms.
Still, the bookmakers expect to see a really tight battle, so the line on the total games has been set at 25.5 with Betway with the over at 10/11 and the under at 4/5. Also, William Hill offers 6/5 odds on exactly three sets in this match, while you can bet on exactly two sets with Ladbrokes at 1/2 odds.
Auger-Aliassime vs Lopez Betting Tip
It’s always a tricky job to bet against the former champ and a man who plays at the highest level on this surface, but I have to back Felix Auger-Aliassime to win this match. Feliciano Lopez is one of few players who prefer a service-volley and he’s way more experienced than Auger-Aliassime, but the Canadian is playing some really good tennis at this moment. Hereof, I’m backing Felix to win at 4/9 with Bet365, but if you want some greater wages, I suggest you take Auger-Aliassime to win in straight sets at 1/1 with Betway.
