Judd Trump vs Mark Williams Prediction: Trump’s quality will give him the edge

Judd Trump and Mark Williams will go head-to-head in the quarterfinals of the World Tour Championship. In this matchup, Judd Trump is the favorite, while Mark Williams enters as the underdog.

Judd Trump

Judd Trump is coming off a triumphant win over Junhui Ding in the World Open Final, sealing a convincing 10-4 victory to claim the World Open trophy. This victory marked Trump's seventh consecutive win, following successes against Thor Chuan Leong, Sanderson Lam, Zhenyi Fan, David Lilley, Kyren Wilson, and Jackson. Remarkably, Trump's last defeat in a competitive match dates back to early March, against Ronnie O’Sullivan. Now entering this upcoming match as the favorite, Trump aims to give it his all, secure another win, and continue his pursuit of further title victories.

Mark Williams

Mark Williams is coming off a hard-fought victory over Tom Ford in the round of 16 of the Tour Championship, clinching the win with a narrow 10-9 scoreline. However, this win stands as his sole recent victory, as he faced defeats in three previous encounters. During this stretch, he was bested by Anthony McGill in the Welsh Open, Mark Allen in the Players Championship, and John Higgins in the World Masters. As he approaches this upcoming match, the Welsh professional will aim to showcase his best form, exhibit resilience, and advance to the next round of the tournament.

Expert Betting Tips

Both snooker players possess exceptional qualities, and we can undoubtedly anticipate top performances from them. However, Judd Trump is currently in exceptional form, demonstrating outstanding prowess on the table. Conversely, due to his age, Mark Williams' level of play has somewhat diminished, and he has struggled to consistently perform at his peak in recent games. Therefore, considering Trump's dominance, a handicap win and a prediction of a low total number of frames seem like favorable options.
