Chris Wakelin vs Mark Williams Prediction: Wakelin has a very good chance

Chris Wakelin will play Mark Williams at Qujiang E-sports Centre in the China Grand Prix. The odds favor Mark Williams going into this game, but Chris Wakelin has been excellent in recent weeks. How will this game end?

Chris Wakelin's last matches have ended in his favor, and he will feel confident heading into this one. Last time out on day one of this China Grand Prix, Chris Wakelin started with a 2-5 win over Elliot Slessor. However, prior games to this saw the Englishman defeat Haydon Pinhey, Ma Hailong, and Thor Chuan Leong, all in qualifying encounters. As an underdog, the Englishman will now have to be at his best and show that he is up to the task. 

Mark Williams was brilliant on the opening day game against Mark Davis of the China Grand Prix as he secured a 2-5 win. In the meantime, his prior encounters with this tournament saw Mark Williams lose three and win three. In his defeats, Mark Williams played Scott Donaldson, Ali Carter, and Judd Trump. However, he did well to secure wins in his game against Liam Graham, Wang Xinbo and Martin O'Donnell. 

I will back Chris Wakelin to close the odds in this game after a very good performance into this game. However, Mark Williams can not be written off either, especially being a huge favorite. Expect this game to go down the wire, and a bet on points is a good one.
