Mark Selby vs Ali Carter Prediction: Selby to start with a win

A professional snooker event known as the Champion of Champions will be held from November 13 to November 19 in 2023. A total prize pool of £440,000 is distributed, with the winner receiving £150,000 of that. Ronnie O'Sullivan is the reigning champion after claiming victory over Judd Trump 10-6 in the final match of the 2022 tournament. 

Mark Selby - Selby remains inconsistent

Mark Selby has not been performing to his usual standards as of late, but the expectation is that he will do his best in this match. Mark Selby was victorious in two of his most recent matches, one of which was against Stuart Carrington, and the other was against Guodong Xiao. On the other hand, he has lost to Martin O'Donnell, Xu Si, and Tom Ford in previous encounters within the past five. In spite of previous outcomes, it is anticipated that Mark Selby will come into this match with his best strategy, since he is the favorite to prevail in this competition.

Ali Carter - Carter hoping to bounce back to winning ways

Ronnie O'Sullivan defeated Ali Carter by a score of 6-4 in his most recent match. However, before he suffered that loss, Ali Carter had a winning streak of three matches that included victories over John Astley, Stuart Bingham, and Daniel Wells. The scores of those matches were 5-6, 4-6, and 6-1, respectively. Ali Carter, on the other hand, will feel assured that he is performing at his highest level because the Englishman is striving to improve his performance in this competition and expects to win.

Expert Betting Tips

Both of these snooker players are supposed to be at their very best, and I anticipate many outstanding performances from both of them. Despite this, Mark Selby is considered to be the favorite, although Ali Carter should not be discounted. However, given the likelihood of a large number of spectacular plays, betting on a high point total makes sense.
