Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 German Masters qualifying match.
Ryan Day
Ryan Day hasn’t been able to give something positive to his fans. He suffered a defeat at the Scottish Open from Ashley Carty with the rating over 50. He also was beaten by Stephen Maguire and Lukas Kleckers (Shoout Out games are not included). This is why you can never be sure that Ryan Day is the real favourite of a game in any upcoming tournament or a particular match. Obviously, he remains a motivated professional player, but defeats suffered from quite average players make us think that there’s a problem. Day still holds within the top 20 thanks to the points he took before.
Stan Moody
I’ve seen almost all Stan Moody’s games since he became a professional player. He’s quite a talented young player, he only lacks the experience of performing at big tournaments. Moody has already been able to highlight his talent. He played very well against the current champion Luca Brecel, which could have ended badly for the Belgian player. A 1-frame lead saved him from losing. Stan Moody is only 17 years old, he plays in a fast and aggressive manner, which the fans like a lot. He really has the future in snooker.
Ryan Day – Stan Moody prediction
Stan Moody has lost games with a huge gap a maximum of 3 times since the beginning of the season. He only needs to control his emotions. In this case, he can even win this match. I think that betting on his handicap can be an interesting choice.
