Joe Perry vs Lyu Haotian Prediction: Perry expected to edge here

A match between Joe Perry and Lyu Haotian is scheduled to take place during the qualification round of the Scottish Open Snooker Championship. In spite of the fact that the odds of winning are relatively even here, Joe Perry still holds a little advantage. Do you believe that Lyu Haotian will be able to turn things around in the meantime? 

In his most recent bouts, Joe Perry has recorded a record of three wins and two losses. However, his most recent encounter was against Stuart Maguire, and the Englishman lost in a match that ended 3-4 at the Northern Ireland Open. However, he suffered another loss, this time at the hands of Dylan Emery, in a match that was ultimately decided 3-6. In spite of this, Joe Perry fared quite well to pick up victories in consecutive matches against Ishpreet Chadha, Michael White, and Hossein Vafaei with scores of 4-2, 3-4, and 4-3, respectively.

The match between Lyu Haotian and David Gilbert in the Northern Ireland Open concluded 4-1 in favor of Gilbert's victory. However, before suffering that loss, Lyu Haotian had already prevailed in matches against Ashley Carty and Tom Ford with scores of 4-1 and 4-3, respectively. In the meantime, his prospects of winning are good in this competition, and while he is keeping his fingers crossed that he will advance to the next stage of this qualifying, we can be certain that Lyu Haotian will perform at the highest possible level and provide quality work.

Both of the experienced competitors are going to enter this competition with high expectations, as it is not an easy one. However, Joe Perry still holds a little advantage, and considering that he is not playing particularly terribly, I believe that he will emerge victorious in a competition that is expected to be very close.
