In what is a surprising one, Robert Milkins will come in as the underdog player in this game, and the 48-year-old English professional will hope to step up. In his last game, which came against Hossein Vafaei in the World Open tournament, Robert Milkins lost 2-5. However, prior encounters have seen Robert Milkins struggle to win matches, as he has lost two of his last three games; in fact, his lone win was a workover win over Sam Craige. Now, going into this game, we can surely expect an improved play from the world number 16 as he will look to qualify for the next round of this tournament.
Junxu Pang
Junxu Pang will hope to start his World Championship tournament with a win as he comes in as the favorite player to win here. In the qualification round, Junxu Pang defeated both Oliver Brown and Yupeng Cao in games that ended 10-7 and 8-10, respectively. In the meantime, prior to encounters to that qualification World Championship tournament, Junxu Pang had just one win in as many as four games, coming against Sam Craige in the Championship League. However, other encounters saw him lose to Elliot Slessor, Joe O’Connor, and Stephen Maguire.
Expert Betting Tips
This matchup could be a tricky game, and it might actually end in either player's favor. While Junxu Pang is favored here, it is clear that Robert Milkins has the better record overall and even though he is declining in performance term, it is still difficult to discard him. On the other hand, Junxu Pang did show class in his qualification matches, making him a good contender here to win. I do not trust Junxu Pang despite his recently improved games, and it will be better to bet on Robert Milkins to close the odds in a match that should potentially end in high frames.
