Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Welsh Open snooker match.
Jordan Brown
Jordan Brown is not a top player, but he has good chances to beat Stan Moody, a young and inexperienced player. Brown beat David Gilbert in the 1st round of the German Masters. He also beat Lyu Haotian in the Welsh Open qualifiers. This is a Brown, who can be dangerous even for elite players.
Stan Moody
Stan Moody had a promising start of his professional career. I liked his game against the current world champion, which was lost only in a decisive frame. But the things weren’t so bright after it. He lost the qualification for the German Masters and the World Open. Moody was lucky to qualify for the Welsh Open, although his opponent wasn’t the easiest one. Stan Moody just lacks some experience to achieve some results.
Jordan Brown – Stan Moody prediction
I like the style of the young English player. He’s fast, aggressive, resembling Ronnie O’Sullivan to some extent. But he should make all components perfect, Moody needs more experience so far. I believe that Brown won’t have a problem in this match.
