Louis Heathcote vs Josh Mulholland Prediction: Heathcote is clear in this fixture

Louis Heathcote and Josh Mulholland will square it off at Mattioli Arena, Leicester, in the ongoing World Championship League. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction. 

Louis Heathcote will come into this game hoping to return to winning ways following a defeat to Stuart Bingham in the prior game. Louis Heathcote lost 8-10-9 in that game, which was a 19-frame game, losing the last two points. However, prior encounters to that encounter saw him defeat Oliver Lines, Oliver Sykes, and Eliot Slessor. Heading into this game, Louis Heathcote will come in as favorites, and we can expect him to be at the top level. 

Josh Mulholland will play for the first time in this world championship league, and the Englishman will look to show his class. In his last matches, Josh Mulholland played in the qualifying school 2, and out of his last four matches, he won three, with his lone defeat coming against Mitchell Mann. Now heading into this game as underdogs, Josh Mulholland will look to return to winning ways, as his previous victories come against Jake Crofts, Halim Hussain, and Brandon Hall. 

Josh Mulholland has shown character at this stage of coming into this competition. However, looking at experience and what is needed to win this game, Louis Heathcote is clear. Therefore, with little expected from Josh Mulholland, I am confidently backing Louis Heathcote to win this encounter.
