Two top 10 players – Karolina Pliskova and Garbine Muguruza – will face each other this Wednesday in Indian Wells with a place in the semi-finals at stake. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.

 

Pliskova vs. Muguruza

Even though Timea Bacsinszky couldn’t compete at her best due to a wrist injury in the previous round, Karolina Pliskova clearly raised her level after two shaky performances. However, Karolina keeps struggling to find her best serve with the Czech winning only 67.90% of her service games throughout the week, which is an incredibly low number for her.

With one of her best performances in recent months, Garbine Muguruza secured a place in the BNP Paribas Open quarter-finals for the first time in her career. Muguruza ended Elina Svitolina’s 15 match winning streak with a 7 – 6 1 – 6 6 – 3 victory. Taking a look now at Garbine’s numbers, the Spaniard ended the match with a terrific 1.28 winners / unforced errors ratio.

This match is scheduled for night session, which should benefit Muguruza since the conditions are much slower than during the day. However, it’s difficult to go against Pliskova at the time, not only due to her outstanding campaign this season but also because of her 5 – 1 lead on the h2h against Garbine. Even though we find some value on Muguruza’s price to win the match 3/2 at Bet365, our advice is for you to go with the Over 21.5 at 9/10 at Pinnacle – a line that was covered in 66.67% of their previous encounters.
