Shaun Murphy vs Judd Trump Prediction 17 November 2022

When forming a prediction for Sean Murphy, we recall that he won the British Championship back in 2008. After that, the Englishman reached the final twice more, but failed to win more titles – 6:10 with Selby in 2012 and 5:10 with O'Sullivan in 2017. The snooker player started the current campaign with the 1/16 final, where he fought with Gilbert. The confrontation turned out to be tense, which is why the outcome was determined only in the final frame - 6:5. So far this season, Murphy has not had any serious achievements.

When making a prediction for Judd Trump, we also note that he won in the UK once – the triumph took place in 2011 (10:8 with Allen). After that, Trump also reached the finals twice, but lacked a bit of luck – 9:10 with O'Sullivan in 2014 and 9:10 with Robertson in 2020. In the current season, the Englishman has already managed to visit one final, but failed to cope with O'Sullivan – 6:10 in the Champion of champions. It is worth noting that today Trump has the 3rd place in the world ranking.

In the final part of the prediction for Sean Murphy – Judd Trump, you should pay attention to the opinion of sportbooks – they do not doubt Trump's triumph. Yes, there is a difference in the rating, but the first performances were not set by either Murphy or Trump (6:5 with Xiao Godong), so it's too early to talk about any serious superiority of Judd. We believe that Murphy will still be able to impose a fight, which is why the confrontation will be effective.
