Ben Woollaston will come into this match hoping for a win to make up for his woeful performance against John Astley in 2017. The professional snooker player is ranked 44th in the snooker world after a strong performance in the previous years of his career. In his last 10 matches dating to 10th of April 2022, the 35 year old Englishman has six wins to his name, while he lost four. In his last match against Ryan Day, Woollaston enjoyed a 1-4 win against the Welsh pro despite being the underdog in that match. Having won two of his last matches, we hope to see an improved performance against Astley this time.
John Astley - will Astley make it a nightmare for Woollaston?
John Astley might be ranked 106 in the snooker world ranking, but his performance, relentless work and big wins can not be overlooked. John Astley has a record of seven wins in his last ten matches, losing to Yuelong Zhou and Lu Ning. He tied Chen Zifan 2-2 in the 2022 snooker champions league first stage. Having been victorious in both of his last two matches, we hope the English pro player will come into this game for a tough contest which he hopes to win and extend his winning streak to two against Ben Woollaston.
Expert Betting Tips
Both players are playing well recently, which has made it difficult to go for a direct winner in this match. Moreover, Woollaston has a high possibility of getting a difficult win in an expected tight contest. However, we are also anticipating to see a dominant match from Woollaston, while he gets another big win that is similar to the 2017 1-4 loss to Astley in the Gibraltar Open.
