Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 World Snooker Championship qualifying match.
Stuart Bingham
I can’t say that the way Stuart Bingham has been playing this season has been better than it used to be. Bingham is 29th in the world rankings, this is not the best option for such a professional. No doubt, we should take Bingham into account, he shouldn’t be underrated. He still can play on a high level. Bookmakers believe he’s the favourite.
Stuart Carrington
Stuart Carrington has started this tournament in the first qualifying round, beating Himanshu Jain (10:5). He hardly managed to beat in the second qualifying round, eventually beating Liam Highfield (10:9). These two wins are a good result for Carrington, who usually has been eliminated from tournaments at early stages. Carrington has reached his career dead end, performing quite poorly.
Stuart Bingham – Stuart Carrington prediction
These are players of different levels. I prefer choosing the favourite. The head-to-head games have been won entirely by Bingham.
