Details
Both players show effectively identical profiles and records in the provided data (10-21 overall, similar recent results and surfaces), indicating a near-even matchup. The market prices Federica Sacco as the favorite at 1.714 (implied 58.3%) and prices Marianne Argyrokastriti at 2.03 (implied 49.3%). Given the parity in the available performance data, we estimate the true win probability for Argyrokastriti at 50.0%. At that probability the fair decimal price is 2.000; the offered 2.03 exceeds this threshold and therefore offers positive expected value. The market shows a visible overround (~7.6%), and without any clear form, surface or injury edge for Sacco in the research, the home price contains a small value margin worth betting.
