World Snooker Championship predictions

There are four more cracking World Snooker Championship first-round contests getting under way on Tuesday, with Ding Junhui's clash with Jack Lisowski one of the highlights of the opening round. 

Ding Junhui v Jack Lisowski predictions

Ding Junhui hasn’t enjoyed much success on his recent visits to the Crucible Theatre. 

The Chinese Sensation will be bidding to end a run of three straight first-round defeats when he starts his World Championship bid against Jack Lisowski.

The 37-year-old has been beaten by Hossein Vafaei, Kyren Wilson and Stuart Bingham in his last three openers in Sheffield and this year’s tie against Lisowski is another tricky assignment for Ding.

Lisowski made six century breaks in only 27 frames to qualify for the Sheffield showpiece and the Gloucester potter is a far better performer than this season’s efforts suggest. 

He made the quarter-finals at the Crucible two years ago, when he lost out in a final-frame decider to John Higgins, and he has the game to push Ding all the way. 

This should be an entertaining contest between two attacking players who have have made 71 century breaks between them this season.

Kyren Wilson v Dominic Dale predictions

Dominic Dale produced some good snooker to down David Grace and He Guoqiang in qualifying, but the veteran faces a much tougher test in his Crucible opener with Kyren Wilson. 

Off-table issues have made things difficult for the Warrior this season but he has made three quarter-finals, two semi-finals and a final on his last eight visits to the Crucible

The Kettering cueman did reach the semi-finals of the German Masters at the start of February and only Judd Trump has made more century breaks than the Warrior this season. That suggests that Wilson's game is in good nick and the 32-year-old may be flying under the radar after a low-key campaign in terms of tournament success. 

At 21-20, the Warrior looks a good bet to give Dale a 4.5-frame start on the handicap. 

Mark Allen v Robbie Williams predictions

The World Championship qualifiers have given their seeded rivals a rough ride in the opening batch of first-round matches and that trend could continue when Mark Allen takes on Robbie Williams.

Allen has suffered four first-round defeats in his last 12 Crucible appearances and he has made it beyond the last 16 only twice in that time. 

Williams is a tough match player who excels in long-distance matches, but the Merseyside man is not just a grinder. The 37-year-old has reached a career-high world ranking of 45 this term and has a lot more to offer than prices of 9-2 suggest.  

Barry Hawkins v Ryan Day predictions

Barry Hawkins reached the final of the 2013 World Championship and has been a serious Crucible contender for large periods of his career. 

However, the days of the Hawk contending for the title may be over and his showings this season make it difficult to get excited about his prospects

Day has also been on the downgrade, failing to win a World Championship match since 2014, making this a contest with limited betting appeal.
