Ben Fortey vs Patrick Whelan Prediction: Whelan expected to win

Ben Fortey will face Patrick Whelan on day one of the Snooker Qualifying School 2 matches. The match will take place at Morningside Arena in Leicester. 

Ben Fortey - not reliable

Ben Fortey will start this match as the underdog, according to the odds. However, the Welsh star has not been in particularly fine form as of late, as he has been unable to impress at the highest level. Ben Fortey suffered defeats at the hands of Zak Surety, Andrew Higginson, Haydon Pinhey, and Fergal Quinn in their most recent encounters. In spite of this, Ben Fortey was successful against Heather Clare and Vladislav Gradinari during this time period.

Patrick Whelan - Whelan will not disappoint

Despite the fact that Barry Pinches defeated Patrick Whelan in their previous encounter, which had a score of 0-4, Patrick Whelan enters this contest as the favorite. However, prior to that loss, the Englishman had an impressive run of success in his matchups, prevailing in each of his previous four contests against Ian Barlow, Sean Maddocks, Rory McLeod, and Alfie Davies, respectively. However, at this point, we are looking forward to seeing Patrick Whelan get back to his winning ways and advance to the next round of this competition.

The results that Patrick Whelan has achieved against some of the best snooker players in the world have been fantastic, and we anticipate that the Englishman will demonstrate his superiority once more today against Ben Fortey, who has been suffering and being inconsistent.
