Monteiro vs Goffin: who will prevail?
On August 24, Thiago Monteiro faces David Goffin in the second round of the tournament in Winston-Salem. Who will win this fixture? Our answer is in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

Thiago Monteiro

Monteiro has finally ended his losing streak of six matches. In the opening match for the current tournament, Thiago defeated James Duckworth (6-4, 4-6, 7-6). That victory must have given the Brazilian tennis player the much-needed confidence. So far, Monteiro's results this season haven't been very inspiring: he has only 13 victories against 18 defeats.

David Goffin

Goffinis on a losing streak of five matches. The physical form of the Belgian tennis player leaves much to be desired, and we are not convinced that he achieve good results at the Winston-Salem tournament. However, Goffin will be looking to gain form before the start of the US Open, which will give him extra motivation.

СтавкаTie-break - yes
Goffin played 2 tie-breaks in the last 5 matches.

Ставка1st set: total under 9.5

Tip and bets
Goffin is in terrible shape, which makes it hard to believe in his successful performance in Winston-Salem. Right now he is a passable opponent and Monteiro should use his chance and defeat Goffin. Moreover, after the victory over Duckworth, Monteiro got a confidence boost. We suggest playing Monteiro's victory.
Our prediction - Monteiro to win.
Goffin has lost his last five matches. This indicates poor form. But the same can be said about Monteiro, who is also far from his best shape. We believe that the opponents will need three sets to determine the winner.
Second prediction - total over 22 games.
