On April 27, John Higgins - Mark Allen will meet at the World Snooker Championship, the battle with a loud poster will take place at the stage of 1/8 finals. Dailysports experts have prepared their prediction for this event.
John Higgins
It's hard not to like John Higgins, this Scotsman with good looks lends his simplicity and goodwill. In the world of snooker, the “terminator” has a lot to boast about, he is a four-time world champion and has long been in the “hall of fame”. Higgins is now 48 years old and is ranked 13th in the world rankings. In the first round Higgins defeated not the most dangerous Jamie Jones - 10:6, although he lost 1-3.
The athlete this season played a lot, but with variable success, before the World Championships there was even a series of three defeats, although this did not prevent a successful start to this tournament.
Mark Allen
The talented snooker player from Northern Ireland is clearly short of a world title, although last year he stopped one step away from the final. Allen often lacked psychological stability, he said so himself, but the athlete recognizes his weaknesses and works with a psychologist. Now the player occupies a high third line in the world ranking, so he is able to fight even for trouble at the tournament.
In the first round of the tournament, Allen defeated Robbie Williams without much trouble - 10:6, who is the namesake of the famous musician. Now it's time for a serious test, because it will have to confront the four-time world champion.
Interesting facts about the match and the history of personal meetings
