Mark Allan- Likely to Continue Dominating Scott

Though Mark Allan got two back-to-back losses against Neil Robertson (10-6) and Robert Milkins (3-4), he seems in really good touch for the upcoming game. The 36-year-old also reached the final of the Championship League and the semi-finals of the German Masters, allowing him to remain among the world’s top 16 players. Allen has the ability to challenge for a world championship, but aside from a semi-final appearance early in his career, the Crucible has not been kind to him.
