Pablo Carreño Busta will be the predicted winner in this match. His experience not only in the tour but also on Clay court and his recent form will give him a much bigger advantage. Taberner has already played thrice this tournament which has its pros and cons. He has practiced and has found his rhythm, but it would have also put a toll on his physical and mental energy. 

Prediction: Carreno Busta to win in straight sets.
