Roman Safiullin vs Daniel Evans Prediction: Roman will be closer to victory

Prediction for the ATP Indian Wells match which will take place on March 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Roman came to Indian Wells with a terrible recent statistic. Safiullin has a 5-match losing streak that started in early January in Brisbane and continued in Melbourne, Rotterdam, Los Cabos, and Acapulco. In Mexico, Safiullin lost just to Evans in two sets and Tsitsipas also in two games. Despite these results, the 42nd ranked player of the world, as written above, is quoted as the favourite for the meeting.

Evans also has nothing to brag about lately except for his win over Roman in Los Cabos. After a win over Safiullin, the Brit lost to Kokkinakis. In Acapulco, Evans lost in three sets to Ben Shelton, the 16th-ranked player in the world. The match against the Americans was a long one, lasting two hours and 47 minutes, and Shelton won it only on a tie-break in the third game. Evans had five aces and three double faults and won 80 percent of his first-serve points and 57 percent of his second-serve points.

We think Safiullin is overrated; the Russian has had a poor start to the season and has a 5-match losing streak, which includes a loss to Evans. Evans has also had a bad start to the season. However, the Brit has a win over his future opponent. Besides, Evans lost a match to Shelton last week in Acapulco, but he was close to success, giving the world number 16 a lot of problems, and Ben won the match only on a tie-break in the third game. In this pairing, we are on the side of the outsider; we believe that the Brit will make it to the next round of the Masters. As for the total, we expect the upcoming match to be more protracted than the meeting of the boys in Los Cabos.
