Darren Johnson vs Darryl Pilgrim Prediction: Both players are struggling

In this round of the Modus Super Series, Darren Johnson and Darryl Pilgrim will compete against one another. Both of these players are in a lot of trouble coming into this battle, and both of them are excited about the prospect of winning since this match has given them an opportunity to do so. To what extent do you believe each of the players will be able to capitalize on this opportunity? 

The experienced Darren Johnson will actually be hoping for a win here, despite the fact that the Englishman's performance heading into this match is absolutely shrinking. Before this, Darren Johnson had only one victory to show for his most recent matches, which dated back to the beginning of April and involved a 4-3 victory over Reece Colley. However, since that victory, Darren Johnson has gone four matches without a victory and has suffered four consecutive losses. These losses came at the hands of Lukas Wenig, Dan Read, Neil Duff, and Reece Colley in matches with corresponding scores of 2-4, 4-0, 4-3, and 3-4. Despite the fact that Darren Johnson is coming into this match as the underdog, the Englishman will be optimistic that he can improve his performance and avoid losing for the fifth match in a row. On the other hand, it is essential to keep in mind that Darren Johnson has not been victorious in any of his previous matchups where he has been the underdog.

When Darryl Pilgrim faces Darren Johnson in this game, he will be looking to halt his losing streak, which had reached four prior to this match. Darryl Pilgrim has just one win in his past seven matches, and that win came against Mike Gillet in a match that ended 4-1 in early May. If we look at his performances in recent contests, we can see that Darryl Pilgrim has only one win in his last seven matchups. On the other hand, his recent string of defeats came at the hands of Scott Taylor, Owen Bates, Luke Littler, and Andrew Gilding. The final scores of those matches were, in order: 4-1, 4-1, 3-4, and 4-6. Even if the Englishman goes into this match as the favorite, there is still a great deal of pressure on him to demonstrate his character, get better at the game, and anticipate winning once more.

Because Darren Johnson and Darryl Pilgrim are playing at a level that is practically the same heading into this encounter, we do not have many options to choose from in this situation because we do not know how well either of them will perform here. Even though Johnson has been one of the best players over the course of his career, the Englishman currently displays signs of weakness, and his level of performance has significantly declined. In the meantime, considering that Darryl Pilgrim is the betting favorite for this match, we are looking forward to seeing him prevail here. As an additional consideration, given the level of play that these two competitors are bringing into this match, I do not believe that they will have a significant number of good throws here; hence, a wager on under Total Match 180s is recommended.
