Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 German Masters qualifying match.
Stuart Bingham
Stuart Bingham has failed to get closer to the top 16. Just the opposite, he’s even lost one position, having fallen from 25th to 26th. It hasn’t been the best season for Stuart Bingham. Although he performed quite well in Scotland. His level is around the top 32. He faces problems when he has to play against someone from the top 10.
Liam Pullen
Liam Pullen wasn’t lucky, when he got his opponent in this qualification. Even despite Stuart Bingham being far from his best conditions. Anyway, it’s already cool that Pullen participates in such tournaments at his age. However, the lack of experience affects the results. For example, in November Liam Pullen was defeated in the UK championship qualification by Iulian Boiko (1:6), who had lost his professional status. So Liam definitely has to make some progress.
Stuart Bingham – Liam Pullen prediction
No matter what current Stuart Bingham’s conditions are, the difference in level is huge. So I choose betting on the favourite, who needs to take his lost rating positions back.
