The short best-of-five frame contest means we predict a one-sided game in under 3.5 frames.
Total Frames Even/Odd – Odd
Considering the format used in this encounter, this aligns with our total frames value bet. The only possible total number of frames would result in an odd number and a whitewash victory.
Either Player to Win Successive Frames – Martin O’Donnell
Martin O’Donnell’s 100% frame win success against Reanne Evans stands out to us.
Prediction: Martin O’Donnell to win 3-0
In conclusion, SportsBoom expects to see Martin O’Donnell prevail 3-0 against Reanne Evans. Though Evans is without a doubt one of the best to pick up a cue, her success on the main tour hasn’t been up to the level that matches her achievements in the women’s game. We predict O’Donnell to complete back-to-back whitewash victories.
