Chris Wakelin vs Thepchaiya Un-Nooh Prediction: Both players hopeful of returning to winning ways

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Chris Wakelin will meet in the World Championship League. How will this game end?

Chris Wakelin remains unbeaten in the Championship League, and the Englishman will look to step up his game. In his last game in the Championship League, Chris Wakelin was held to a draw by Ian Burns. However, prior games saw him defeat Rory McLeod and Liam Pullen, which ended in identical scores of 3-0. Heading into this game as a slight favorite, we can expect Chris Wakelin to show character as he takes on a lower-ranked Thepchaiya. 

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh will look to return to winning ways following a 2-2 draw with Daniel Wells in his last game in the Championship League. However, his prior games in this Championship League saw him pick wins over Mark Joyce and Jullien Leclercq in games that ended 3-1 and 3-0. Heading into this game, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh has a good advantage, and looking at how solid he was in the first stage, we can expect him to show character in this second game, too.

The two players have been brilliant lately, and it is tough to write them off. However, Chris Wakelin is the better player, and despite Thepchaiya Un-Nooh's good run of games, I expect him to score just one point, with a 3-1 win for Wakelin being a perfect scoreline.
