The arguments for the prediction are based on previous performances and the form of the players. Rublev is considered the favorite in this match-up, but it won't be easy for him to face Popyrin, considering his recent participation in the tournament in Shanghai. Rublev expended a lot of energy and emotions there, which could affect his form and confidence. He will strive to start strong in Vienna, but his experience and early championship title here do not guarantee an easy victory. Popyrin is also in good form and recently showed himself in the match against Korda, where he was able to maintain a positive serve. Taking these factors into account, it can be assumed that Popyrin may not fall too far behind in terms of games, so the prediction is for Popyrin's games handicap (+3.5).
