Details
We estimate Nuno Borges is the clear favorite but the market price (1.28, implied win probability 78.125%) slightly overstates his edge relative to our model. Using only the provided data, Gonzalo Bueno has a 39-34 career record (roughly 53% overall) but recent results included losses on clay; with no head-to-head or injury details for Borges and surface unspecified, we conservatively estimate Borges' true win probability at 76.0%. At that probability the expected value of backing Borges at 1.28 is negative (EV = 0.76*1.28 - 1 = -0.027), so there is no value on either side at the current prices (home implied probability 27.03% vs our rough estimate for Bueno substantially lower). Therefore we do not recommend a bet.

- • Market heavily favors Nuno Borges at 1.28 (implied 78.1%)
