Fan Zhengyi vs Sam Craige Prediction: Bet on Craige here

In the first stage matches of the Snooker World Championship, Fan Zhengyi and Sam Craige will compete against one another at the Morningside Arena. Both of these players came into this match having suffered defeat in their most recent contest and will now put all of their focus on achieving a successful outcome here.

Fan Zhengyi - confident of winning

After suffering a loss against Mark Allen in his most recent match, which took place in April at round 1/16 of the World Championship, Fan Zhengyi will come here with the goal of getting back on the winning track. However, while looking at Fan Zhengyi's previous matches before that defeat, we see that he picked up successive victories against Lulian Boiko and Stephen Maguire while also suffering a loss to Noppon Saengkham in matches with corresponding scores of 10-6, 10-8, and 4-3. However, going into this contest, the Chinese player will undoubtedly be aware that he has a great deal of work to do. This is due to the fact that he has not been in particularly fantastic form, seeing as how his victories have come against opponents who are not playing at the same level as Craige.

Sam Craige - must step up his play

Sam Craige has been going through a rough patch as of late, so as he heads into this matchup, he will most certainly be hoping for a better outcome. Sam Craige's performances up to this point have not been impressive, as he has lost all of his previous matches leading up to this one. In such defeats, many of them were even against weaker opponents like Hammad Miah, David Grace, or Lukas Kleckers, given that he was a high favorite to win those matchups. In fact, his most recent victory was against Luke Simmonds in late January of this year. In spite of this, we can only hope to see the Englishman improve his performance by stepping up his game, displaying more character, and performing more effectively.

Expert Betting Tips

Given the skill level of these competitors and the form they brought into this competition, it is difficult to make an accurate prediction regarding the outcome of this match. In the interim, while Sam Craige has been playing at a bad level, Fan Zhengyi has been able to take advantage of his opponents' lack of skill. In spite of this, I anticipate that Sam Craige will get off to a strong start in this match, and as a result, I anticipate that he will win the first frame. In addition, I believe that Sam Craige will reach his peak performance at this venue, and as a result, I anticipate that he will have the highest scoring break.
