Corentin Moutet vs Matteo Berrettini Prediction

In spite of winning his first-round match in three sets, Berrettini looked shaky. In fact, since Wimbledon, the Italian has played just three matches as he lost in the second round of Cincinnati. Thus, the Italian needs to find his best form quickly and avoid any surprises. 

On the other hand, Moutet is a young player who is trying to edge his way through the ranks. We don’t see him posing a big danger to his opponent. Still, the Frenchman needs to go out there and do all he can to put pressure on Berrettini.

Obviously, the bookies are favoring Berrettini to win in straight sets. Bet365 is offering odds of 1.66 for such a bet. We will back that since we think Berrettini’s powerful serve and forehands will be too much for the Frenchman to handle.
