Jodie Anna Burrage vs Viktoria Hruncakova Prediction: Burrage a Bit Better in Almost Every Regard in Power Based Matchup

• Prediction: Burrage to win
• Best Odds: 1.72
• Bookmaker: bet365
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds as at 1:00 am UK Time on December 4th, 2024. Odds may now differ.

It’s a battle of the two players we backed (correctly) on Monday. In what amounts to a situation of “one player is more undervalued at the moment than the other” I’m backing Burrage to come through this one.

For starters, these two have similar styles, strengths and weaknesses, but I think Burrage is just a little more steady in her power game and though she’s not the swiftest player on court, she is better at getting around and in and out of the corners than Hruncakova.

Finally, the one concern for Burrage in recent months has been her ability to hold up physically later in weeks. Well, this isn’t later in the week, and her opponent is far from a player with a physical game herself.

I actually think this is a great matchup for the Brit and she should be a larger favourite than we’re seeing at the moment.

Jodie Anna Burrage Recent Form

Burrage’s form has been solid lately, as she continues to use this late-season stretch to rebuild her ranking.

Losses to Francesca Curmi and Emiline Dartron weren’t great, but as I mentioned, they were both from a set up and when coupled with the fact that they were deep into the tournaments, it looks more like her level dropping than anything else.

She should still be fresh come Wednesday, likes these conditions, wasn’t pushed hard in her opening round and does almost everything just a bit better than her opponent. She deserves a bit more respect than the 1.72 price offers. Something in the 1.61 to 1.63 range would be much more appropriate.

Viktoria Hruncakova Recent Form

I don’t think there’s anything in Hruncakova’s form that bothers me or makes me want to oppose her. As I outlined Monday, she’s made several semifinals on the trot at the ITF level.

I suppose there’s an argument to be made that those runs were ended by players worse than Burrage and a lot of her wins came against players who she could bully on court with her power – something she won’t be able to do against Burrage.

Ultimately though, it’s more about the matchup than form when it comes to making this bet.
