Joe Perry vs Dylan Emery Prediction: A match with a tight scoreline is expected

At the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield, Joe Perry will play Dylan Emery in the World Championship Qualification. The two players are going through an unreliable run of performances. Who makes it to the next round? I preview this game and offer predictions below.

Joe Perry

Joe Perry will hope to find answers to his poor performances in this fixture as he comes in as the favourite. In his recent matches, the 50-year-old professional has only one win, coming against Kreissh Gurbaxani in the World Open qualification final. However, Joe Perry has suffered defeats in other matches. In that run, Joe Perry played Chenzi Gong, Ross Muir, Ben Woollaston, Ma Hailong, and Junhui Ding. While he comes in as the favourite in this game, Joe Perry is expected to show hunger and desire to win, as he eyes another World Championship game.

Dylan Emery

Dylan Emery is coming off a win against Artemijs Zizins in his first game in this qualification. In a 4-10 win, Dylan Emery outplayed the 18-year-old, taking a 0-4 lead before Zizins could score one point. However, prior encounters to that win saw Dylan Emery win only one of his last four matches, coming against Ali Gharahgozlou. In other encounters, Dylan Emery lost to Mark Joyce, Noppon Saengkham, and Liam Highfield.

Expert Betting Tips

These are two players who cannot be trusted but there is a lot still expected. While Joe Perry does have the experience, Dylan Emery seems to have been able to win matches more easily than him. However, against stronger opponents, Dylan Emery has struggled and I feel the same might happen here. This will be a game of luck, and despite the inability of Joe Perry to dictate the game, I feel he will get his chances. In the meantime, I expect Dylan Emery to make this one a tight scoreline, as he should give this game his all.
