Trump vs Williams Prediction 20 November 2025
🔊 This week, Saudi Arabia hosts another snooker tournament boasting a substantial prize pool. Although it's a quick event, fans will still have the chance to witness the world's top players in action. A thrilling quarterfinal match is on the horizon, featuring Judd Trump and Mark Williams. Our editorial team couldn't resist making a prediction for this encounter. The winner will be decided in a best-of-7 frames format.
Head-to-Head
📊 This season, the snooker players haven't faced each other yet. Over the long haul, Judd Trump has been dominant, but Mark Williams clinched the last two encounters. They met at this tournament last year, where Mark emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle.
Head-to-head statistics Trump - Williams
Judd Trump Player Overview
The world number one remains titleless, even though we're already halfway through the season (almost). Judd seems to be rediscovering his old form and is currently in decent shape, yet he has lost two finals in a short span. We can also mention his defeat to Wu Yize, where the Englishman squandered a four-frame lead.
Looking at the most recent results, there's a solid win over Zhao Xintong (6-2) and a loss to Mark Selby (5-10). Both encounters took place at the Champion of Champions during the semifinal and final stages, respectively. The match against Selby stands out, of course. Trump wasn't particularly poor, but he suffered a heavy defeat.
Selby delivered a fantastic performance, racking up several half-centuries and four centuries. Trump, on the other hand, managed only two centuries, which is respectable, but it didn't significantly impact the final score. Selby made an incredible push in the second session. That's snooker for you-a game with unpredictable dynamics.

Mark Williams Player Overview
We haven't really seen Mark in action since mid-October. He clinched the Xian Grand Prix, but mostly withdrew from competitions due to illness thereafter. Williams has only played two full matches since his return, so there's limited information on his current form.
The snooker player participated in the Champions Tournament alongside Trump, but only lasted a day. He secured a warm-up victory against Alfie Burden (4-0) before losing to Mark Selby (5-6). It's that second match that commands some respect.
Williams came close to defeating Selby. He was trailing 2-4 but then took three consecutive frames. It seemed like one more series would seal the deal. However, Williams barely moved from his seat as Selby dominated the table at the crucial moment. It was an evenly matched contest in terms of breaks, accuracy, and average points. What comes into play at such a time? That's right, luck. And let's not forget about psychology.

Editor's Prediction
Williams is known for his resilience, but he's in for a tough challenge here. Trump lost another final and should be highly motivated for this tournament, especially with the attractive prize money on offer. It's also worth noting that Mark defeated him here last year, so revenge is on the cards. Moreover, Williams hasn't played many matches since his triumph at the Xi’an Grand Prix, and we doubt his current form is at its peak. We're backing Judd Trump to win.
