Matthew Selt vs Alfred Burden Prediction: Selt won’t have it easy here

This English Open day 2 qualification clash between Matthew Selt and Alfred Burden will take place at the Brentwood Centre. These are two teams that are quite known to each other, and going into this clash, both players are going to be hoping for a win. Do you believe that Matthew Selt will win his fifth match in the recent six against Alfred Burden, or do you think that Burden will maintain his composure?

Matthew Selt, who is the odds-on favorite to win this match, will go into it with optimism, tranquility, and confidence that he will provide a top performance, which will earn him a win in this competition. Matthew Selt came away victorious from his most recent match with three victories. These victories came against Andres Petrov, Liam Highfield, and Sean O'Sullivian in matches with respective scores of 3-0, 4-0, and 5-3. Nevertheless, during that time period, Matthew Selt was defeated by James Cahill and Anthony Hamilton in matches with scores of 0-3 and 4-5, respectively. Matthew Selt is now rated 29th in the world entering this match, according to the snooker rankings.

In light of the fact that Matthew Selt has historically been a challenging opponent for Alfred Burden, it is reasonable to anticipate that he will perform at or near the top of his game when they face each other in this particular contest. In Alfred Burden's most recent encounter, he defeated Robbie Williams in a match that ended in a full thrashing of 0-5; without a doubt, he will aim for a similar outcome today. Alfred Burden has now won two of his last five matches, with the second victory coming against Haydon Pinhey in a match that ended 4-5 in the European Masters Qualification. With this victory, Alfred Burden has now won two of his last five matches. On the other hand, Alfred Burden has recently lost against Michael Holt, Ken Doherty, and Kyren Wilson, all of whom were victorious over him in their respective matches.

As a result of the fact that both players will almost certainly try to secure a spot in the main tournament, I anticipate that this competition will be extremely tight. Despite the fact that they have a long and fruitful history together, there is no question in my mind that both of these players will put in excellent preparation for this match. In spite of this, Matthew Selt is the superior player, and I am not saying that I do not give him credit in this regard, but Alfred Burden is not in poor shape either. Therefore, despite the fact that I do not believe either player will have an easy time during this match, I am confident that Alfred Burden will win the match and that the total number of frames will go over.
