Yuelong Zhou vs Jiang Jun Prediction: Zhou will not struggle to win this game

In round 1/64 of the Saudi Arabia Masters, Yuelong Zhou will play Jiang Jun at the Green Halls in Riyadh. Yuelong Zhou enters this game as the favorite, while Jiang Jun is the underdog. Below is the analysis and betting opportunities.

Yuelong Zhou

After a run of poor performances lately, Yuelong Zhou will have high hopes in this fixture. Last time out, Yuelong Zhou played Thepchaiya Un-Nooh in the China Grand Prix and lost 2-5. In the meantime, recent performances have not ended well for the Chinese professional as he has just two wins in his last matches, coming against Haydon Pinhey and Zhengyi Fan. Heading into this game as a favorite, Yuelong Zhou will look to approach this game with his best strategy and secure a much-needed win.

Jiang Jun

Jiang Jun started the Saudi Arabia Masters on a good note and will have confidence he can keep things rolling here. Against Jonas Luz in the round 1/12, Jiang Jun secured a 4-1 win in a match where he was heavily favored. In the meantime, a prior win saw Jiang Jun fail to win in seven consecutive matches, where he lost five and drew two. Heading into this game as the underdog, the Chinese international will hope he can step up and qualify for the next round. 

Expert Betting Tips

This should be Yuelong Zhou’s game. I do not rate Jiang Jun in this fixture, looking at his records into this game and poor performance. While his opening game against Luz could be a form of momentum for him, I still believe he will struggle to get something out of this encounter.
