The ATP 250 Marrakech 1/8-finals promise several intriguing opportunities for value betting. Under current conditions, Muller appears fresher and more confident, while Jodar’s form and determination could allow him to overcome Machac. Buse, in turn, demonstrates strong momentum after a significant victory and may continue his successful streak.
ATP 250 Marrakech 1/8-Finals
Kopřiva – Muller: 02.04.2026 12:00 CEST
Head-to-Head: First meeting
Vít Kopřiva has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Naples, Kopřiva lost to Forti in the opening round in straight sets. This week in Marrakech, Kopřiva secured a three-set victory over Medjedovic, recovering after losing the first set 6-7.
Alexandre Muller has won three of his last five encounters. Last week in Naples, he lost to Medjedovic in the quarterfinals in straight sets. However, in 2023, Muller was a finalist at this tournament. In the current first round, the Frenchman easily defeated Cina in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to bookmakers, this match will be evenly contested, but we disagree with this assessment. Kopřiva endured an exhausting three-set battle lasting almost three hours. The Frenchman, in contrast, confidently dominated in the first round and clearly feels comfortable on the clay courts of Marrakech.
Based on this, a win for Muller represents a good value bet.
Jodar – Macháč: 02.04.2026 13:30 CEST
Head-to-Head: First meeting
Rafael Jodar has won four of his last five matches. This marks his debut appearance in Marrakech. In the first round, the Spaniard defeated Lajovic in straight sets, showcasing excellent serving, preventing and saving only two break points.
Tomáš Macháč has lost four of his last five encounters. His last match was in Miami, where he fell to Moutet in the second round in three sets.
Best Bet to Make
Bookmakers consider Macháč a slight favorite in this matchup, but our assessment differs. Jodar is in superb form and serves exceptionally well. He is one of the most promising young Spanish talents. We expect him to perform better in this upcoming match.
Consequently, a bet on Jodar winning offers good value.
Buse – Ugo Carabelli: 02.04.2026 15:00 CEST
Head-to-Head: 0-1
Ignacio Buse has won three of his last five matches. He aims for a strong performance this week to move closer to the top 50 in the world rankings. In the first round, Buse surprisingly defeated Berrettini in a hard-fought three-set encounter that lasted over three hours.
Camilo Ugo Carabelli has also won three of his last five matches. His most significant achievements last season were recorded on clay courts. This week in Marrakech, the Argentine overcame Skatov in three sets in the first round, despite losing the first set 6-7.
Best Bet to Make
Bookmakers rate the chances in this match as almost equal, but we do not share this view. Buse is in excellent form and has just caused an upset by defeating Berrettini. He had two days of rest, so we expect him to be fully prepared for this encounter.
Thus, a bet on Buse winning offers good value.
