Also taking place at the Challenger event in the Portuguese destination of Maia on Thursday is a match between Franceso Passaro and Vilius Gaubas. Can the Italian kick on having beaten a lower-ranked opponent in promising style last time out? Or will the Lithuanian cause a bit of an upset? Looking at the early lines, it's worth betting on the former.

Our Francesco Passaro vs Vilius Gaubas Prediction

Surely a better opponent than Janvier, Vilius Gaubas does come into this match off the back of a pleasing win, and he may be able to make life a little harder for Passaro than Frenchman Janvier did, but I really would be surprised if the Italian failed to get the job done here. His recent win showes that he's still a clay-court player in decent form, while his recent tournament win proves that he can be a serious player at this level. Odds of -140 won't be for everyone, sure, but a win for the Italian could easily be available at more stingy odds, so there may just be some value to be had by those seeking it. Our Pick: Francesco Passaro to Win.
