Expected scenario

In this context, a bet on the positive handicap looks reasonable - the favourite is expected to win, but not by a wide margin.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Thiago Seyboth Wild's form is considerably stronger than his opponent's, and his winning run supports his status as favourite here. However, Nicolas Kicker regularly keeps the deficit manageable even against higher-ranked opponents and rarely loses by a wide margin in games. That pattern makes it reasonable to expect the underdog to stay within the +6.5 line across two sets, or with the favourite winning each set by a small margin. The pick is Nicolas Kicker - Games Handicap +6.5.
