Anda Zhang vs Ben Woollaston Prediction: Zhang needs to step up

In round 1/16 of the Saudi Arabia Masters, Anda Zhang and Ben Woollaston will face off at the Green Halls. Let’s preview this game and provide betting options.

Anda Zhang is coming off a struggling performance, which saw him lose four of his last matches. In that run, his lone win was against Oliver Lines in the China Grand Prix Qualifier. In the meantime, Anda Zhang lost to Graham Dott, Jak Jones, Jinhao Zhou, Gary Wilson and Elliot Slessor in other encounters. While he heads into this game as favorite, the Chinese will hope to turn things around and end his poor runs.

Ben Woollaston is coming off an incredible run of games and will look to keep things running here. Last time out, Ben Woollaston played Hossein Vafaei, and he won 3-5. However, Ben Woollaston has lost only once in 12 matches, coming against Julien Leclercq. However, the Englishman won eight other encounters while drawing three. 

Ben Woollaston is not a player to write off in this fixture looking at his performances over the last weeks. While Anda Zhang is struggling heavily, I do not see the Chinese having things easily here. I will rely on Ben Woollaston to close the odds in this fixture, a game that could end with many points.
