Tian Pengfei vs Xu Si Prediction: An exciting first meeting expected

Tian Pengfei and Xu Si will compete in the next round of the 2022 UK Championship. Because this will be the first time the two Chinese players have faced each other, the match should be quite interesting.

Tian Pengfei will look for a better performance following a slight 5-6 win over Chris Wakelin. The Chinese player has been doing well thus far, winning all three recent matches. While being the favorite to win this match, we expect Tan Pengfei to be well prepared and in good form as Xu Si, his opponent, has been playing well and in stable condition.

The Chinese player Xu Si has been performing very well this season. He has won four of his previous five matches, and the only one he has lost was against Shaun Murphy. Even though the odds are stacked against him in this match, Xu Si has been winning. Given that he has won each of his last three bouts, he will undoubtedly feel confident about delivering an outstanding individual performance in this encounter.

This definitely will be a tough matchup compared to how the odds have been put. On paper, Tian Pengfei is expected to win. However, we are of the fact that Xu Si should be able to cover some odds at +1.5.
