Match Predict – Handicap (-4) for Thiem

Thiem leads 6-1 in their head-to-head encounters with Sousa. He will be favoured in the upcoming meeting. Dominic is showing a good game in the second half of the season. He played in the quarter-finals in Kitzbühel and also managed to reach the final in Rennes. We expect a productive performance from the Austrian on the courts in Gijon as well.

Total Games – Under 23

Thiem has previously beaten Sousa six times in his career. We believe that Dominic will again defeat Joao in the upcoming match. He will do it with a comfortable score for himself. Joao has slowed down considerably in the second half of the season, while Thiem, on the contrary, has been improving from match to match.

Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Dominic Thiem vs Joao Sousa

Dominic Thiem:

Thiem’s main objective for the rest of the season is to get back into the top 100. If he fails, he will have to qualify for the Australian Open. So far, the Austrian is only 162nd.

Dominic played in three tournaments in September. First, the former world #3 reached the final on the Challenger in Rennes. In the decisive match, Dominic lost to Ugo Humbert (3-6, 0-6).

In Metz, Thiem played one round against Richard Gasquet (6-3, 7-6) before losing to Hubert Hurkacz (3-6, 4-6).

In Tel Aviv, Thiem narrowly defeated Laslo Djere (5-7, 7-6, 6-4) in his first match and then lost in the second round to Marin Cilic (7-6, 2-6, 4-6).

Sousa has had a weak previous few months. Moreover, since Roland Garros, he has only won two matches at the ATP level.

Including at recent tournaments in Metz and Tel Aviv. In the first, world #62 lost to Stan Wawrinka (6-7, 2-6) and in the second to Botic van de Zandschulp (2-6, 3-6).
