Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2023 Scottish open snooker match.
Gary Wilson
Gary Wilson played very confidently against Chris Wakelin, who defeated with an away score of 5-0. At that meeting, Gary performed a beautiful series, performing one hundred series and five 50+. Wilson is not showing the best results this season, but in this tournament he is showing his best qualities. The question is whether Gary can continue to be in such optimal conditions.
Zhou Yuelong
Chinese snooker players don't always perform so brightly on stage, but Zhou Yuelong works at the Sheffield academies and probably feels so confident on this continent. This is confirmed by the victory over Stuart Bingham, yes, not the easiest, but still over an opponent who is higher in class. Yuelun is one of the best serial players this season. The Chinese have made it far in tournaments, but have not yet managed to win them. And in Edinburgh, Zhou has everything to win.
Gary Wilson – Zhou Yuelong prediction
There weren’t that many personal meetings between the rivals, but the advantage was on Gary Wilson’s side. Despite Wilson's confident victory in the last round, he will not have such concessions in this match. If Yuelun shows his best side, then it is possible that he will win this meeting, but for now he will bet on his positive forum.
