Forecast
In this match, Mariano Navone is considered by the bookmakers to be the more obvious favorite. But it is quite difficult to play two weeks in a row at a high level, and therefore Jaziri will have good chances to compete for victory here. We suggest that you bet more than 19.5 games on the total.
