Key factors
- In 8 of Júlia Riera's last 9 matches, the total games were under 20.5.
- Both players frequently finish their matches in straight sets.
- The average number of games per match for both players does not exceed 20.

Expected scenario
The most likely scenario is a match without a third set: both players frequently contest short matches, and their sets-won statistics do not suggest a prolonged fight in each set. This fits naturally with a bet on the under - the probability of the total going over the stated line looks low.
Total Games Prediction
In most of Julia Riera's recent matches, the total number of games has rarely reached a high mark - a pattern of relatively quick finishes, even against opponents at a similar level.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The form of both players points to frequent two-set outcomes and a relatively low average number of games per match. The key statistics support a scenario of a quick finish without sets going to a tie-break. Given the trend towards low totals, the main bet looks justified for this particular pair. Pick - Total Games - Under 23.5.
