Matias Soto vs Vilius Gaubas prediction

Matias Soto is a wildcard entrant into the ATP 250 Chile Open has been in very average form for quite a while and, despite having home advantage, will do well to go quite deep into this tournament.

He is facing a much better opponent than Vilius Gaubas, though, after Tomas Martin Etcheverry had won the Rio Open last week. Gaubas, on the other hand, succumbed to a defeat to Alex Barrena in the second qualifying round of this tournament over the weekend.

Gaubas has, though, shown a bit of form and did make it to the round of 16 before a hard-fought 23-game defeat to Etcheverry in Rio – and siding with him may well be a good value bet here.
