Tommy Lishman vs Joshua Richardson Prediction: Lishman to continue incredible run

In the Modus Super Series Week 7 matchups, Tommy Lishman and Joshua Richardson square off against one another. Although Joshua Richardson has a minor edge in this matchup in terms of the odds, Tommy Lishman has been the more skilled player leading up to this competition. 

In this clash, Tommy Lishman hopes to extend his winning streak against Richardson. After earning wins against Stefan Bellmont, Thomas Junghans, and Adam Atkinson in his most recent six matches, respectively, with scores of 0-4, 4-1, and 4-0, Tommy Lishman will be looking for another improved performance here. In the meantime, although picking up three victories, Tommy Lishman had also seen his matchups against Andy Boulton conclude in losses of 2-4 and 4-2 and had also been defeated by Sebastian Bialecki by a score of 4-2. Even if there is a lot of uncertainty over how well this Englishman will play here, we have no choice but to anticipate that he will be at his absolute best and exhibit quality. 

Joshua Richardson has not been competing at his peak level as of late, and as a result, the vast majority of his matches have resulted in losses for him. Joshua Richardson has only been able to pick up two wins in his most recent matches leading up to this one. One of these wins came against Brett Claydon in a match that finished 2-4, while the other came against Sebastian Bialecki in a match that ended 4-6 in matches where he was the underdog. In the meantime, Joshua Richardson has lost six of his most recent matchups, against Jordan Brooks twice, David Evans, Shane McGuirk, Alec Small, and Owen Roelofs. While everyone's attention will be focused on how well the Englishman does in this competition, we anticipate that Joshua Richardson will be at his absolute best in an effort to put an end to his string of disappointing results.

Despite the fact that I believe this battle between these two players should be an intriguing first encounter between them, I believe there should be an obvious winner in this situation. While Joshua Richardson has competed in some of the most prestigious tournaments, Tommy Lishman has been having a lot of success in the Modus Series. Although I believe that this game should be decided based on performance leading up to this matchup, it is anticipated that Tommy Lishman will emerge victorious in a close contest.
