Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 German Masters qualifying match.
Robert Milkins
Robert Milkins reached the semi-finals in the last German Masters. He suffered a defeat from Allister Carter in a decisive frame, though. Milkins performed against Ronnie O’Sullivan perfectly at the UK Open but also suffered a 5-6 defeat. Milkins commits many mistakes and this is his main problem which leads to poor results. However, it usually happens when Milkins faces a player of a higher level. Otherwise, he performs well enough.
Allan Taylor
Allan Taylor comes and goes from the Tour. He can’t jump over his head, though. Yes, sometimes he can play a perfect match. But it’s such a rare thing that can’t affect his performance in general. He has experience but skill is something that he loses time after time. The only thing that Allan Taylor can be proud of is the fact that he always struggles until the end, winning at least several frames.
Robert Milkins — Allan Taylor prediction
These players have only had one head-to-head meeting, won by Robert Milkins. He is more experienced and I believe he’s going to win this game, too.
