Marco Fu vs John Higgins

🔥 Marco Fu and John Higgins meet in the International Championship quarter-finals. Fu has won three straight matches, beating Stuart Bingham 6-4, Julien Leclercq 6-3 and Wang Xinbo 6-5. Higgins has also made steady progress through the draw, defeating Liu Haotian 6-3, Xu Si 6-2 and Mark Williams 6-5. Their head-to-head record stands at two wins apiece from four meetings, although Higgins has won the last two.

We favour John Higgins, who has looked assured against a range of opponents. His win over Mark Williams was particularly telling: the Scot held his nerve to take the deciding frame in a high-stakes contest. Marco Fu is also in good form, but his previous match against Wang Xinbo pushed him all the way. Higgins has won their last two meetings and brings extensive experience of the latter stages of tournaments. Our prediction: John Higgins to win.
