After the catastrophe that was Game 12 of the 2023 World Championship, Nepo seems to have followed the old Russian advice of drawing the game following a loss. Even then he was a little fortunate, as Ding looked to have a promising position around move 20, before the game reached a kind of dynamic equality.
So it may come down to a single game, or failing a decisive result, a playoff. Based on the nervous play of both players, I do not think I can predict a result here. It may come to nerves rather than skill, something both players seem to have troubled controlling.
