Daniel Wells v Robert Milkins Tips

Both Robert and Daniel have had some good wins of late, but Robert was in a bit of a lull before this tournament, and his two wins have been a surprise given his current form. He is, however, 5-1 up on Daniel, but they haven't played since 2023. For those reasons, I have gone for a Daniel win.

Robert Milkins enters this matchup with a strong record in high-pressure environments and consistent scoring across frames. Wells is capable but less experienced at maintaining rhythm against top-tier opposition. Milkins’ ability to control table pace and capitalize on openings should secure him the victory.

Milkins has demonstrated an aptitude for producing decisive frame advantages against mid-tier opponents. His break-building efficiency and tactical safety play suggest he will outperform Wells by the necessary margin, comfortably covering the match handicap through both aggressive scoring and controlled defensive exchanges.

Robert has been very hit and miss of late, and although he has won his last 2 matches, he was put under pressure and had to dig deep. Even though he is 5-1 up on previous matches, I have gone for a Daniel win, and the -1.5 could be achievable.
