Lukas Neumayer - Dusan Lajovic

After defeating Portugal in the previous tournament, our own Goubas continues to play successfully. And now he is playing in the Portugal tournament. With Lithuania catching a good form, it is difficult to stop him and a top player, I do not believe there will be a serious fight against Kolar. The Goubas syndrome in the second set is a problem, especially in this tournament, but winning the first set is like winning the match. A 2-0 result by Goubas wouldn't be surprising, but I am choosing this option because I believe Lithuania is significantly stronger and consistently performs well in the first set. This gives hope for a successful bet on S.

Braga Challenger.

It's difficult to decide which player is better, although Vilnius has been showing good results and has been surprising more and more as of late, but he is still young and is sure to make mistakes, and this match may have more errors than usual. I'll start with Zdenek, who had a lot of problems in 2024 and had to be without tennis for months at a time. He made a good comeback, with 2 wins at ITF clay tournaments and 1 at Challenger level. He had good runs at other tournaments as well. His main surface is clay, he is an active player who often outpaces his opponents with speed and defense. Vilnius is currently in good form, but every match in this tournament has shown both his good and bad sides. In yesterday's match, there were some errors due to misjudging situations, and his opponent always had a miraculous shot. Yes, he managed to win all of his matches, but his opponents weren't necessarily better, as they allowed Vilnius to come back and win. In my opinion, Vilnius will play aggressively and try to finish points quickly, as playing three sets again could be challenging for him. Meanwhile, Zdenek can expect that Vilnius will play quickly and aggressively, so he will likely slow down the game and make it more difficult for Vilnius. I think that an aggressive game will cost a lot of points, and if it's not successful, it could mean a loss or a long, tough match, giving Zdenek the advantage.
