It is time for the final in Cordoba, Argentina, which will be the third ATP 250 final of the week. It will start on 12.02, and we will see two very different players – Facundo Bagnis and Luciano Darderi. In my betting preview, I will try to write some details about both players because you might not know them well. Let’s start!
Facundo Bagnis vs Luciano Darderi Betting Preview
Facundo Bagnis is a very experienced player from Argentina. He is 33 years old, and this is probably one of his last chances to win an ATP title. I can say that he is a decent Challenger player, but when it comes to results in the ATP tour, he is not having some good results. Actually, this is his second final on a professional level, as in the previous one, he lost in Chile 3 years ago on clay from Cristian Garin. Now, his opponent seems to be not as good as the Chilean player, and there is one big advantage on the Bagnis’ side – the home crowd, who will support him unconditionally.
On the other side of the net, Luciano Darderi is a young Italian tennis player. He is decent on clay courts, just like Bagnis, but with the difference that Bagnis prefers to hit the ball hard, while Darderi prefers to keep it in the court without risking a lot. The 21-year-old Italian does not have a title either. He won some prestigious Challengers last season, but when it comes to professional high-level tennis, this will be his biggest challenge. He is not even a top 100 player, and he never was in the top 100. However, he will definitely make a record-high ranking, even if he loses this match.
During the week, both players had great games, especially Darderi, who won in the semis against Sebastian Baez, disappointing the home crowd. But he even won against Ofner and Hanfmann, who were strong favourites against him. What is interesting is that both players had to go through qualifications, and this is a precedent in tennis nowadays. Bagnis started with 6-0, 6-0 against Rodriguez Taverna and then had no problems in all his games till the final, eliminating mainly Argentinian countrymen.

Betting Tip – Facundo Bagnis vs Luciano Darderi
I believe that we will not see an easy final for either player involved in this match. Luciano Darderi is a slight favourite to win, but I think Bagnis, as a home representative, will be highly supported, and he might show some class, too. Moreover, Bagnis reached the finals from the qualifications, and he did not lose even a single set. However, I prefer not to bet on the outcome of this game, so I will go for over games, and I will make my bet one idea more sure, betting on 21.5 games instead of 22.5. A result like 6-3, 7-6 is very possible, and the line can go over even in straight sets.
