John Higgins vs Jamie Jones Prediction: Higgins to get back to winning ways

Jamie Jones and John Higgin𓆉s will meet in the World Championship round 1/16 encounter. John Higgins is favored to win here, while Jamie Jones is the underdog. Let🐟’s look into this game and make a prediction.

John Higgins

John Higgins has not been impressive recently, and the Scottish player will come here hoping for his luck. Heading into this tournament, the last three games played by John Higgins have ended in defeats. In those matches, John Higgins lost to Joe O’Connor in the Winners Playoffs of the Championship League, World Open 1/32 loss to Jackson Page, and Mark Allen in the Tour Championship round ⅛. In his most recent win, John Higgins defeated Neil Robertson in the Winners Stage of the Championship League, a 3-0 win. However, John Higgins will come into this one as the favorite, and the Scottish former number one snooker player will look to get off to a strong start in this tournament.

Jamie Jones

Jamie Jones entered the qualification rounds of the World Championship with poor performances, losing five of his six matches. In that run, Jamie Jones lost to Robert Milkins, Ricky Walden, Judd Trump, Thepachaiya Un-Nooh, and Darren Dale, with his only win coming against Robbie Lawler. However, Jamie Jones stepped up, defeating Allen Burden and Neil Robertson in surprising cases. While he now enters this game as the underdog, Jamie Jones will look to step up, develop character, and get another vital win here.

Expert Betting Tips

This will be a tight encounter as both players come into this game with many inconsistent results. Jamie Jones was good in the qualification matches, but his prior performances were poor. On the other hand, John Higgins struggled in the recen🧔t game, but I do not see Jamie Jones as a formidable player. John Higgins has always been a top player, and I back him to win hﷺere easily.
