Daniel Wells vs Duane Jones Prediction: Wells is expected to dominate this match

The Green Halls in Riyadh will host the day 2 encounter of the Saudi Arabia Masters encounter between Daniel Wells and Duane Jones. Daniel Wells has won each of their past meetings. Can Duane Jones win revenge this time?

Daniel Wells will come in as the favorite, and the Welsh professional will hope to get a win. In his last match, Daniel Wells played world number one Judd Trump in the Grand Prix semi finals and lost 6-1. In the meantime, prior encounters to that defeat saw Daniel Wells secure wins over Julien Leclercq, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, Dominic Dale, and Barry Hawkins. Heading into this game, the Welsh international will now look to be at his best and approach this game with his best tactics. 

Duane Jones's last matches ended in the Welsh player winning three in a row. In that run of games, Duane Jones defeated Khalid Al Kamali on day one of this encounter. However, Duane Jones also picked up wins in his games against Dominic Dale and Luca Brecel, which ended 4-2 and 4-5, respectively. In the meantime, other recent encounters ended in defeats to Joe O'Connor and Andrew Higginson while playing to draws with David Gilbert, Xu Si, and Andrew Pagett. 

Daniel Wells is well ahead in this fixture, and I do not doubt his ability. Looking at the two players, Duane Jones is performing well heading into this fixture, but his opponents were below the level of play of Wells. While this should be competitive, as the two players are expected to be at their best, Daniel Wells still has the better chance and should get things easy here.
