On the opening day of the Players Championship snooker tournament, Junhui Ding will face John Higgins at the Telford International Centre. Previous encounters in this matchup have favored John Higgins, but do you believe Junhui Ding could reverse the trend this time?

Junhui Ding is coming off a defeat at the hands of Robbie Williams in the Welsh Open round of 32, where he lost 2-4. As the favorite in that match, Junhui Ding must be disappointed and is now aiming to bounce back. This setback follows another recent loss in the World Grand Prix semi-final round against Ronnie O'Sullivan, concluding with a score of 1-6. Despite these defeats, Junhui Ding did manage to secure victories in other matches during this period, triumphing over Ricky Walden, Noppon Saengkham, and Anda Zhang in the World Grand Prix. Additionally, he secured a win against Jenson Kendrick in the Welsh Open qualification round.
Entering this upcoming match, Junhui Ding is considered the underdog, but the Chinese player is hopeful that he can face the challenge presented by John Higgins and qualify for the next round of the tournament.
John Higgins
John Higgins experienced the end of his impressive 8-match unbeaten streak in the recent Welsh Open semi-final against Gary Wilson, resulting in a 6-4 defeat. However, as he approaches this upcoming match, John Higgins is expected to be the favorite, and he undoubtedly carries confidence in his ability to advance to the next round. In his recent victories, he showcased his skill by overcoming opponents such as Mohamed Ibraham, Zhengyi Fan, Ricky Walden, Tian Pengfei, Ryan Day, Matthew Selt, and Mark Allen.
Expert Betting Tips
I anticipate a competitive encounter, with both professional snooker players giving their best. Despite the expectation of a closely contested match, it's worth noting that John Higgins has emerged victorious in each of the last five meetings in this fixture. Given Higgins' consistent level of play, I foresee a similar outcome in this match. Additionally, considering Junhui Ding may not be expected to make the match closely contested, a bet on the total points being 'over' is advisable.
