Maria Lourdes Carle will seek a second victory against fellow unseeded player Chloe Paquet when they meet next in Palermo. The two are set to square off in the second round on Thursday. In this article, we analyze the stats ahead of the match and offer a prediction.

Chloe Paquet is playing in the main draw in this WTA 250 event for a second time. She started things off with a convincing straight-set victory over Zheng Saisai. That was her first victory in Palermo. Paquet, who produced a career-high third-round finish at the French Open, has now won three times at a tour tournament this year.

She has compiled a shaky 20-20 record while alternating between the tour and challenger circuits. Advancing to this round has moved the 30-year-old up to 107th in the live ranking, six places adrift of her career high.

Maria Lourdes Carle defeated Paquet at the Puerto Vallarta Challenger in February. It was their first career matchup and the Argentine won in straight sets. She would go on to grace the semi-finals in Puerto Vallarta and will hope victory here propels her to a similar run.

Carle has put up a strong 30-14 record competing in the tour, ITF and challenger circuits. She has won two titles in the ITF and challenger, both on clay. Carle started her Palermo debut with a three-set victory over Tatjana Maria.

It took a battle from a set down to secure the win, her 21st on clay and she has now moved up to 89th in the live ranking. The winner from this encounter will take on Diane Parry or Jil Teichmann in the quarter-finals.
