One of Thursday's clay-court matches sees Jesper De Jong and Sebastian Baez clash in Bastad, Sweden. Interestingly, both De Jong and Baez have previously finished as runners-up in Bastad, with the Dutch player doing so last season. The Argentine lost in the final of this event back in 2022. Both players have shown the ability to excel on these courts, so we should be in for an exciting match.
As we are indeed talking about a match between two former finalists of this event, this is no easy match to call. However, if we really look at the recent efforts of the pair, then it's hard to see why Sebastian Baez should be the narrow outsider. If anything, the Argentine, who is undefeated in six clay-court matches and who beat De Jong when the pair last met, should be the narrow favorite, so while he's not, there's value to be had.

Our Jesper De Jong vs Sebastian Baez Prediction
Jesper De Jong did reach the final of this event last year, and he did perform as if he's got a decent chance of going deep this time around when winning his first-round match. However, he has not been handed the most friendly second-round assignment. Sebastian Baez has also previously reached the final of this event, while the Argentine has a fabulous recent record against lower-ranked players on clay, so much so that he should really be priced a little shorter here.
