Today’s final match repeats the final of World Championship 2015. In May last year it was Stuart Bingham that won, taking advantage of the excessive aggressiveness of Shaun Murphy, who was in the lead with a score of 8:4.
Today, Shaun is in better shape, which is reflected in bookies’ odds. Public opinion is also on the side of Murphy. My survey showed that Murphy’s victory is expected by 77% of the respondents.
I won’t be original. I opt for a confident win of Shaun Murphy with -2.5 frames handicap.
