David Goffin v Daniel Evans Predictions & Preview
In what will be their first ever match, David Goffin takes on Britain’s Daniel Evans as Belgium bid to win their second tie in a row. Not that their victory against Moldova was unexpected with Radu Albot going down in a heap to Goffin in straight sets anyway.
What was surprising was Britain’s showing in their opening tie against Bulgaria, losing 2-1 in a match that went into the final match. The doubles pairing of Jamie Murray and Joe Salisbury was expected to do a lot better but went down in three sets. That leaves Britain with no option but to try and put down Belgium.
And for that, the world number 42 Evans will need to get past the 11th-ranked Goffin in this encounter. Goffin, as mentioned earlier, started off with a straight-set win while Evans was taken down by Grigor Dimitrov but not before he had taken a set off his opponent. Expect Evans to put up a fight yet again.
Tip: Three sets in the match: 31/20 (Click here to get these odds with Unibet)

Grigor Dimitrov v Radu Albot Predictions & Preview
Again, a first-time contest between Grigor Dimitrov and Radu Albot and the Bulgarian should have the confidence to get past his Moldovan opposition. This is after Dimitrov edged past Daniel Evans in his first match en route a 2-1 win for Bulgaria over Moldova while Albot was taken apart by Goffin in straight sets as his country went down 3-0 to Belgium.
Where that leaves the two teams is for Bulgaria to win in order to have a chance of topping the group ahead of Belgium while Moldova need to win to stay in the competition. A 3-0 result will be an added incentive given it could help the teams in case of a tie for the first or the second spot.
Dimitrov did not have a great 2019 season for most part but he would be satisfied with the way it ended. A semifinal at the US Open punctuated with a fortunate win over Roger Federer and that was followed by another semifinal appearance at the Paris Masters where he went down to Novak Djokovic. He should start a favourite here.

Steve Darcis v Cameron Norrie Predictions & Preview
Veteran Belgian Steve Darcis plays Cameron Norrie of Great Britain as both nations play their second respective ties in the group stages of the ATP Cup.
Belgium was off to a strong start winning all three matches in their opening tie against Moldova, where as Britain lost 1-2 to Bulgaria in a tie that was decided by a close doubles match.
Steve Darcis who will be retiring after the Australian Open at the end of the month was off to a good start winning his match in a tight three-setter, where as Norrie also won his opening match in three sets. Both Darcis and Norrie are at opposite ends of their career spectrum.
The talented Darcis has had a career plagued by injuries and will mostly be remembered for upsetting Rafael Nadal at the Wimbledon championships in 2013. On the other hand, Norrie in his early 20s, has promised and exhibited talent to be earmarked as one of the future stalwart of British tennis.
An exciting battle on the cards that will decided by a few key points; expect young Norrie to pull of a three-set win in a very crucial tie for Great Britain.

Dimitar Kuzmanov v Alexander Cozbinov Predictions & Preview
Relatively unknown players Dimitar Kuzmanov of Bulgaria and Alexander Cozbinov will clash in a crucial match for both Bulgaria and Moldova.
Both lost their opening matches in the previous ties, with Kuzmanov losing to Cameron Norrie and Cozbinov to Steve Darcis. Incidentally, both matches went the distance in three-setters.
While a win is more crucial for Moldova, the Bulgarians will look to solidify their position in the group with a crucial victory in their second tie.
Expect a close match between the two inexperienced players, with Bulgarian Kuzmanov to inch through in a three-setter.
Tip: Kuzmanov to win in three sets: 7/2 (Click here to get these odds with Unibet)
