THE PREDICTION

23-year-old Facundo Diaz Acosta will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of around 82nd after upsetting an out-of-sorts Francisco Cerundolo in straight sets on Wednesday. The Argentine impressed in a five-set exit to Taylor Fritz at the Australian Open last month and he has reached back-to-back quarter-finals on tour on home clay, losing to Sebastian Baez at this stage of the Cordoba Open last week. World number 58 Dusan Lajovic overcame Alejandro Tabilo in three sets on Wednesday to back-up an excellent opener over eighth seed Arthur Fils. The 33-year-old should never be underestimated on his favoured clay, proving so last spring with a remarkable run to the Banja Luka title via victories over Novak Djokovic and Andrey Rublev. The Buenos Aires crowd will give as much as they can to Diaz Acosta but this match feels like Lajovic’s to lose on experience. Back Diaz Acosta to earn at least a set, yet to drop one this week, to leave the victor up to chance.

TIP: FACUNDO DIAZ ACOSTA TO WIN A SET
