Joe O’Conor vs Andrew Higginson Prediction: Higginson to close the odds

This qualification round of the World Championship will take place at the Crucible Theatre, and Joe O'Conor and Andrew Higginson will square off against one another. Joe O'Conor is the favorite to win this match, whereas Andrew Higginson has a far lower chance of doing so.

Joe O'Conor will enter this match as the favorite, and he will be looking to gain an advantage over Higginson so that he may improve his chances of advancing to the main tournament of the World Championship. Joe O'Conor was defeated by the Chinese snooker player Lyu Haotian in his most recent match, which took place in the third round of the WST Classic competition. He has now won three of his previous five bouts, yet he has also suffered defeat in two of those contests.

Andrew Higginson has been playing very well in this qualification match for the World Championship, and despite the fact that the chances are not in his favor, he will try to achieve another win. In previous matches that Andrew Higginson has played in this qualifying, he has been victorious over Andy Lee by a score of 3-10 and has also easily prevailed over Louis Heathcote, who is also an Englishman. On the other hand, before he started winning like this, Andrew Higginson had a losing streak of four matches in a row.

Due to the fact that both competitors have a chance of winning, we anticipate a very challenging competition. Even though we continue to be of the opinion that Andrew Higginson will have a difficult time scoring a win in this competition, we continue to be of the opinion that at the very least he will be able to cover the enormous odds. A wager on "over" should also be considered, despite the fact that Joe O'Conor is the favorite, because of the caliber of play that Andrew Higginson has displayed leading up to this encounter.
