Dimitri Van den Bergh vs Andrew Gilding Prediction: Bergh to end his poor record in this game

Dimitri Van den Bergh and Andrew Gilding will square it off at MVM Dome in Budapest in the European Tour 11 round 1/32. In the previous times these two players met, Andrew Gilding won each encounter. Can Dimitri Van den Bergh end his poor run in this fixture?

Dimitri Van den Bergh has struggled so much in recent matches and will look to be at the top level in this one. In a run of seven games, Dimitri Van den Bergh has just one win, which was against Christian Perez in the Players Championship 20 which ended 6-2. In the meantime, other encounters saw Dimitri Van den Bergh lose to Mensur Suljovic in consecutive encounters with Chris Dobey, Andrew Gilding, Florian Hempel, and Jeffrey de Zwaan in his last match. 

Andrew Gilding's last match was against Madars Razma in the World Players Championship 21, which ended 2-6. However, Andrew Gilding won three in his previous five games, coming against Karel Selacek and Wessel Nijman in the Players Championship 20 and Joshua Richarson in the Players Championship 21. Yet, it is vital to note that Andrew Gilding was defeated in another encounter against Luke Littler in the Players Championship 20 which ended 3-6. 

Dimitri Van den Bergh has not been good lately, but I think he will get a chance to win. While Andrew Gilding has been impressive in this fixture, I do not see him defeating Dimitri Van den Bergh. However, with the two players expected to be at their best, we can expect a long game with many legs.
