Highlights

• • Home is a heavy favorite in the market (1.11)
• • Our conservative estimate produces a slight negative EV at current odds

Pros

• + Market price is widely available and stable

Cons

• - No independent data to justify an edge over the bookmaker
• - Small negative EV at current quoted odds once conservative uncertainty is applied

Details

We have no independent match data, recent form, surface, injury, or H2H information to justify a confidence edge versus the market. The book price for the home pair (1.11, implied ~90.1%) indicates a heavy favorite. Using a conservative estimated true probability of 88% for the home side (reflecting likely favoritism but allowing for bookmaker margin and information uncertainty), the home line at 1.11 yields a small negative expected value. The market is likely overrounded (~6%), and without specific positive information (injury to the favorite, clear matchup advantage for the underdog, travel issues, etc.) we are not comfortable claiming positive EV. Therefore we do not recommend taking a side at current prices.

Key factors

• • No independent form, injury, surface, or H2H data available
• • Book-implied probability (home 1.11 => ~90.1%) close to our conservative estimate
• • Market overround (~6%) increases required edge to find value
