Elliot Slessor vs Daniel Wells Prediction: A closely contested battle is expected

The Yushan Sport Centre will host the round of 16 match in the Snooker World Open tournament between Elliot Slessor and Daniel Wells. Slessor has previously had the upper hand in this matchup, but do you believe Daniel Wells has the potential to perform better this time?

Elliot Slessor

Elliot Slessor has performed well in the World Open tournament, and he aims for continued success in the upcoming match. In his first two matches, the Englishman secured victories against Anda Zhang and Matthew Stevens. However, Elliot Slessor's performance has shown some inconsistency, especially in his previous encounters. During this period, he suffered consecutive losses to Joe O’Connor but also achieved three consecutive wins against Junxu Pang, Jordan Brown, and Sam Craige.

Daniel Wells

Daniel Wells has shown remarkable performance in the World Open tournament, and the Welsh player aims to continue this strong form. In his two previous matches, Daniel Wells secured victories with scores of 5-3 and 3-5 against He Guoqiang and Mark Allen, respectively. However, it's important to highlight that leading up to this tournament, Daniel Wells lost only one of his last four matches. During this period, he defeated Liam Highfield, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, and Barry Pinches, with his only loss being against Marco Fu.

Expert Betting Tips

The odds of winning are very close, indicating a tough competition ahead. Although both players are capable of winning, it's advisable to support Elliot Slessor based on the opponents he has defeated, as opposed to Daniel Wells. Looking ahead, while I acknowledge that Daniel Wells will not easily surrender, a match with numerous frames and Elliot Slessor emerging victorious seems like the most favorable outcome.
