Details

We compared the bookmaker-implied probabilities to our estimate based solely on the provided player profiles. The market prices Valentini Grammatikopoulou as a clear favorite at decimal 1.521 (implied ~65.8%) and Georgia Andreea Craciun at 2.47 (implied ~40.5%). The supplied profiles show nearly identical career records, surfaces played, and recent match outcomes (both have recent losses and no injury mentions in the provided material), implying this is a closer matchup than the moneyline suggests. We assign Georgia Andreea Craciun a true win probability of 42.0% based on parity in career metrics and recent form; at the available odds of 2.47 that translates to a small positive edge (EV ≈ +3.7%). The market appears to overvalue the home designation for Grammatikopoulou relative to the on-file data, creating a modest value on the away price.
