Adam Williams presents his prediction for the Saudi Arabia Masters snooker match.
Zhang Anda
Zhang Anda has played only three matches this season and only one of them was a 5:1 win over Oliver Lines. In the first match of the season, Zhang lost to Zhou Jinhao 1:5 in the Shanghai Masters qualifier. He also lost to Graeme Dott 2:5 in the Grand Prix qualifier. Anda did not play in the Championship League, so Zhang did not really have tournament practice this season.
Ben Woollaston
Ben Woollaston has played a lot this season. Six matches in the Championship League, two wins in the qualifiers and one defeat. Woollaston led in the match against Julien Leclercq 4:0, but lost 4:5. Already in Riyadh, Ben beat Oliver Lines 4:2, Joe Perry 4:0 and Hossein Vafaei 5:3.
Zhang Anda - Ben Woollaston Prediction
I like the current game of Woolaston, Ben has played consistently in the last matches with two centuries and four breaks 50+. For Zhang, it will be a big problem, because Woolaston has already played in the conditions of the tournament in Saudi Arabia. This is going to be the first match at this venue for Zhang. I think Ben can win, if he plays in the way he's used to.
