Chris Dobey vs Wessel Nijman Prediction: Can Nijman get revenge in this fixture?

In round 1/16 of the European Tour 12, Chris Dobey will play Wessel Nijman at St. Jakobshalle, Basel. The two players have met only once, and Chris Dobey won. Can Nijman win this time?

Chris Dobey's last match was against Dave Chisnall, and he lost 8-4. However, prior encounters to that game saw Chris Dobey secure six consecutive matches. In that run, Chris Dobey defeated Richie Burnett, Nathan Rafferty, Andrew Gilding, Mike De Decker, Jonny Clayton, and Martin Schindler. While he comes in as the favorite in this game, Chris Dobey will look to be at his best again and return to winning ways. 

Wessel Nijman will look to win this game after losing his first meeting against Chris Dobey in mid-February. However, in his recent matches, Wessel Nijman won four, with his only defeat being a 6-5 loss to Martin Lukeman. In other encounters, Wessel Nijman played Luke Woodhouse, Niels Zonneveld, Gerwyn Price, and Graham Hall. 

Chris Dobey is still the favorite in this game, and I expect him to win. While Wessel Nijman has done well in recent matches, I still think he has a chance in this game. The two players should be very strong, and I expect this game to end with many legs.
