Match Preview
Specially for you we offer you the prediction for Mark Allen vs John Higgins on 10.01.2024. The match will take place in the 1/8 finals of The Masters. In this duel bookmakers have not revealed a clear favorite. And let's find out if the rivals are really very comparable to each other.
A detailed analytical breakdown of the game is published below.
Head-to-Head
Allen vs Higgins prediction has a history of head-to-head meetings. The last time they faced each other at the Champion of Champions a couple of months ago, Mark outplayed John without much trouble (6-2).
Mark Allen: player overview
When making a prediction on Allen, it has to be said that he is returning to the tour after a long hiatus. Mark was the triumphant winner of the aforementioned Champion of Champions. However, he has yet to find his former stability. Immediately after winning the trophy, the Northern Irishman promptly left the Scottish Open after suffering a very unpleasant defeat to Jamie Jones (2:4). Now the athlete will have to get up to speed quickly, as the tournament's impressive line-up makes it impossible to improve as he goes along.
John Higgins: player overview
While we're making our prediction for Higgins, we have to say that he's unlikely to return to the top 10 of the world rankings in the foreseeable future. With his vast experience, John has the ability to transform himself at the snap of a finger, but has lacked organization in crucial games time and time again. Toward the end of the month, the Scottish representative proved his worth at the Macau Masters (3rd position), and even earlier he had lost to Noppon Saengkham in the late stages of the home competition (3:6). Nevertheless, he should not be underestimated in any case, as many of his direct competitors are nowhere near fantastic form.
At the end of the Allen vs Higgins prediction, it's clear that the meeting is bound to be intriguing. The opponents approach the match in roughly the same condition, and we believe that this time no one will get through to the next round without a serious fight. The over is a safe bet.
