Head-to-head statistics Butvilas - Lajovic
Edas Butvilas Player Overview
Edas Butvilas comes into the semifinal on the back of three consecutive wins at this tournament, which has helped him snap a difficult run of results. Over his last 10 matches he has 3 wins and 7 losses, but this tournament has been a turning point - all of his most recent matches have ended in his favour. On serve, the Lithuanian is holding at a solid 77%, which helps him stay competitive even against higher-ranked opponents. The average number of games in his recent matches is close to 25, which points to extended sets and frequent battles deep into each set. His set-winning percentage of 38% does not yet suggest consistent dominance, but the overall pattern of his matches supports a long-match scenario.

Dusan Lajovic Player Overview
Dušan Lajović enters the semifinal with five wins in his last ten matches and three consecutive victories at this tournament. The Serb holds serve in 80% of cases - a solid figure for a player at his level - which gives reason to expect a high number of games won in at least one of the sets. His average number of games played per match exceeds 26.6 - slightly higher than his opponent's - which also points to a tendency for long sets and a possible third set. His set-winning percentage stands at 52%, but without a clear edge over opponents in the other key metrics: the difference in points won is minimal, and break-point conversion remains at an average level.

Key factors
- Total over 24.5 games has come in in 6 of the last 7 matches involving Dusan Lajovic.

Expected scenario
A tough match is expected, with a high probability of a third set and a large number of games - both players show similar averages in sets played and frequently push matches to decisive moments. This scenario fits well with a bet on the over: the probability of exceeding 24.5 games looks above average.
Total Prediction
Dusan Lajovic regularly takes part in long matches where the number of games played consistently approaches or exceeds the total line of over 24.5. Given the similarity in playing stats between both semifinalists and the absence of clear dominance from either of them, the selected bet receives additional justification.
