Mark Williams vs. Sanderson Lam Prediction: Williams will be the favorite

Mark Williams and Sanderson, who hails from England, have been competing against one another since 2011 and will continue to do so on the second day of the 1/34 European Masters tournament. The encounter between the seventh-ranked Welsh and the Englishman, which is anticipated to go in favor of the Welsh player, will most certainly pique the viewers' interest.

Following a lengthy winning streak of five matches in a row, Williams has lost his previous two matches. His losses in the last month came at the hands of Stephen Maguire and Lu Ning. Williams, known by his nickname, the Welsh Potting Machine, will try to take advantage of this match and get back to winning ways as he seeks to win another competition and add a new trophy to his cabinet. He has won the World Championship on three separate occasions, in the years 2000, 2003, and 2018. In addition, he has won multiple tournament series, including the "triple crown," which consists of the UK Championship, the Masters, and the World Championship.

Sanderson is struggling, having lost three of his last five matches. The Englishman will enter the contest with a 4-2 loss against Gerard Greene. The Englishman has been competing in the Players Tour Championship, a series of professional and amateur tournaments, since 2011. After losing his opening match in his first three English tournaments, he won both qualifying-round matches and advanced to face Mark Williams in the round of 16. Williams won 4-0. There were four more tournaments he entered throughout the next year. Even though Williams is ranked seventh, his poor form will be a major disadvantage in this match.

Williams has more experience than Lam which will allow him to prevail in this match, even though he won their first match by a score of 4-0 in 2011. On the other hand, one cannot completely discount Lam's chances in this match, and as a result, a margin of two is anticipated to be the final score.

• Total Frames Over 6.5 for 1.87
• Sanderson +3.5 for 1.87
• Over 0.5 Individual Total Centuries 1 for 1.66
