Summary
Match Info
Analysis
Summary: We recommend the away (Leo Vithoontien) because the current price (2.77) appears to understate his win probability versus a career-win-rate based estimate, producing a large positive EV.
Highlights
- • Market prices favor home heavily despite Vithoontien having the better career win rate in the supplied data
- • At an estimated true win probability of ~56.2%, the away price 2.77 yields EV ≈ +0.556 (55.6% ROI)
Pros
- + Clear numerical discrepancy between market odds and career-win-rate-based estimate
- + Large positive EV at current widely-available price
Cons
- - Data is limited: no head-to-head, limited surface-specific recent form in the provided research
- - Small sample sizes and recent mixed results increase variance and model risk
Details
We find value backing Leo Vithoontien at the current away price (2.77). Market-implied probability for Hayato Matsuoka (home) at 1.407 is ~71%, which conflicts with the underlying career win rates in the supplied data: Matsuoka 14/40 (35.0%) vs Vithoontien 22/49 (≈44.9%). Normalizing those career win rates to a head-to-head estimate gives Vithoontien an estimated true win probability of ~56.2% while the market implies ~36% for the away side. Using that estimate, the away decimal price (2.77) yields a large positive expected value (EV ≈ 0.556 per unit staked). We note limited match-level detail (no direct H2H, sparse surface-specific form) which increases uncertainty, but on the available objective metrics the price on Vithoontien appears materially mispriced and offers strong value.
Key factors
- • Career win-rate normalization: Matsuoka 14/40 (35.0%) vs Vithoontien 22/49 (≈44.9%)
- • Market-implied probabilities diverge strongly from career-based estimate (away implied ≈36% vs our ≈56%)
- • Limited additional information (no H2H, sparse surface/form detail) increases uncertainty
