Oliver Lines' recent form

Oliver Lines has been struggling recently, and that can even be seen in his last five matches. In these matches, he has only recorded two wins, and they were against S. Carrignton with a score margin of 4-1 and M. Shehab with a score margin of 10-8. His losses were against E Slessor with a score margin of 5-4, M. Holt with a score margin of 10-8, and G. Dott with a score margin of 4-3. Oliver Lines suffered defeats at the hands of John Higgins, Judd Trump, and Graeme Dott, with scores of 4-1, 2-5, and 4-0, respectively. In spite of this, it is important to point out that Oliver Lines still performed very well to pick up victories over Yupeng Cao and Martin Gould in two of his most recent five matches, in matches that went 2-4 and 1-4, respectively. In 2024, Neil Robertson survived in the UK Championship qualifying, beating Oliver Lines 6-5. Robertson honestly looked like a goner there. This was a crucial moment, Lines missing this red when 44-0 ahead in the decider. Judd Trump has been knocked out of the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters by Oliver Lines. The defending champion was beaten 5-3 by his countryman, and close friend, in the fifth round.

Revesz, who stunned Ali Carter in last year’s event, fought back in the third to close the gap. But Allen, the English Open champion, quickly restored control. He took the fourth and finished the job with a stylish 69 break in the fifth. It was his second win in two days, after beating Jiang Jun on Tuesday. Next up is a clash with Wales’ Mark Williams on Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow Antrim man Robbie McGuigan will take on Ben Mertens, who brushed aside Reanne Evans 4-0.

Oliver Lines vs Mark Allen Prediction

These are two good snooker players, and with the level of performance they showed in their various rounds of matches, I expect solid play from them. Since both competitors have a chance of winning, we anticipate a very challenging competition. There’s a sorta “snooker IQ” in seeing the right shots that the likes of Mark Allen are great at but I don’t think that ties in to traditional sort of test taking intelligence in nearly the same way that magic does. Oliver Lines will fancy his chances after defeating World Number 1 Judd Trump in August but I reckon the form Mark Allen has shown in the early part of this season is slightly going under the radar.
