Ronnie O’Sullivan vs John Higgins Prediction: This could turn out to be a tricky match

At the Shanghai Masters snooker competition, Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins are scheduled to compete against one another on the Shanghai Grand Stage. Both of these players come into this competition riding high off of victories in the most recent of their respective competitions. What do you anticipate the outcome of this match will be?

Ronnie O'Sullivan, who is now ranked first in the world in snooker, is the favorite to win this match, and he will enter it with the intention of doing so. The Englishman's previous match in this Shanghai Masters competition resulted in a 6-3 victory over Ali Carter. The match was the Englishman's last one. Ronnie O'Sullivan had a string of bad luck leading up to that match, losing to Luca Brecel in the World Championship and Andy Hicks in the European Masters Qualification. However, Ronnie O'Sullivan was able to turn things around and win the match. In spite of this, Ronnie O'Sullivan was still able to win his last five matches, including victories over Junxu Pang and Hossein Vafaei with scores of 10-7 and 13-2, respectively.

In spite of the fact that John Higgins is the underdog in this encounter, it is essential to keep in mind that the Scottish team has been doing really well as of late. John Higgins has recently competed in nine bouts and has only been defeated once, while he has been victorious eight times. In those victories, John Higgins defeated players such as Martin Gould, Dylan Emery, Yuelong Zhou, Shaun Murphy, Deng Haohui, and Kyren Wilson. His lone loss during that era came against Judd Trump in a match that finished 5-6 in the semifinals of the European Masters.

I have high hopes for the performances of both of these players, and I have no doubt that this will be a challenging clash. Nevertheless, considering the current form of both players, I am fairly confident that John Higgins should not be written off, despite the result of their most recent contest against one another. Therefore, the most prudent wager would be to anticipate that John Higgins will cover the point spread.
