David Goffin vs Marin Cilic prediction

David Goffin will get a second chance against Marin Cilic in Basel.

The Belgian is in the main draw as a lucky loser after being beaten 6-1 7-6 by the Croatian in qualifying.

La Goff actually leads the match-up 5-4 and did win 6-4 6-4 at this tournament back in 2019.

However, Cilic has prevailed in five of the last six (if you include the qualifier the other day) and his serve will key here.

If Goffin can neutralise the first delivery he’ll have a good chance of out-moving the former US Open champion from the baseline.

You often see this sort of quirk of fate go the way of the lucky loser, but we are sticking with Cilic to thrive in the conditions and serve his way to another victory.
