He Guoqiang v Leone Crowley Tips

Crowley has won once in his last 5 matches, the win being against another lowly player, Yassin. He has won 3 of his last 5 with wins including over Highfield and Scott Donaldson, so I fancy the Chinese to win.

Both players are coming off convincing 4-0 wins in the final qualifying round of the British Open. Before that, each had suffered two consecutive defeats. In his last three Championship League (CL) matches, the Chinese player has recorded one win and two losses. Given their recent form and evenly matched records, a draw seems like a reasonable prediction.

Leone Crowley will be offering a better game here. He has not been too bad overall, just some mistakes cost games. Against someone not as good, he could settle into his own game well.
