Mikuru Suzuki vs Chris Gilliland Prediction: A close one expected again’

Mikuru Suzuki and Chris Gilliland are scheduled to encounter each other for the third time this month in the Modus Super Series. With each player securing a victory in their previous two meetings, both will strive for another win in this match. Who will come out on top this time?

Mikuru Suzuki aims to maintain her winning streak as she faces Gilliland in this matchup. In her most recent outing, Suzuki secured a 4-2 victory against Gilbert van der Meijden, marking her second consecutive win. Earlier, she also triumphed over fellow Japanese player Haruki Muramatsu in a 4-1 matchup. It's noteworthy that Suzuki had only secured one win in nine prior matches. Nevertheless, she enters this encounter with the hope of sustaining her positive momentum.

In his previous match, Chris Gilliland secured a 4-1 victory over Haruki Muramatsu, extending his winning streak to three consecutive wins. His triumphs over Carl Sneyd and Gilbert van der Meijden also contributed to this successful run. However, it's important to mention that Gilliland faced defeats against Christopher Toonders and Mikuru Suzuki in two other matches. Despite being the favorite in this upcoming matchup, he aims to deliver an improved performance and secure another win.

In their two previous meetings, each player has secured one victory, making this upcoming matchup a priority for both. Notably, an identical 3-4 victory for either player has occurred. Despite Mikuru Suzuki being considered the underdog, I anticipate her narrowing the spread. Additionally, considering the potential for another high-scoring contest, betting on total points over is another viable option.
