Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Welsh Open snooker match.
Gary Wilson
Gary Wilson didn’t leave a chance to his opponent in the quarter-final game, winning by 5 to 0. He also beat Robert Milkins before (4-0). Gary has been performing perfectly recently. He won the Scottish Open in December. He’s been making less errors, although he's been playing in the attacking style. Let’s see what he’s going to do in this match against a very famous opponent.
John Higgins
John keeps calm and keeps on advancing in this tournament. This is the fifth semi-final of an important tournament for Higgins this season. But he never reached the final, though. He managed to beat Mark Allen in the quarter-final game (5-2). Higgins is still a very dangerous opponent, despite the media saying he’s almost a retired person.
Gary Wilson – John Higgins prediction
Statistics say that Higgins has won five consecutive head-to-head games with a handicap (-1.5). Let’s believe in this, although Wilson is a strong opponent and Higgins has to do his best to advance to the final, a thing he’s wanted badly recently.
