Head-to-Head
The players will face each other for the first time.
Mark Williams Player Overview
The celebrated veteran has just kicked off his season, so it's too early to draw conclusions about his performance. Admittedly, Williams hasn't been impressive so far, but with a long season ahead, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to showcase his skills.
The tournament in Shanghai didn't go as planned, as the snooker player was knocked out in his opening round, losing to Ali Carter, who mounted a comeback from 2-5 down. This was followed by a lackluster tournament in Saudi Arabia, where a solid victory over Shaun Murphy was overshadowed by a defeat to Elliot Slessor. Williams could have certainly performed better, but he made numerous errors that day and struggled to maintain breaks.
Match Results: Mark Williams
Liam Davies Player Overview
Ranked 79th, he hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire. It's pretty clear-cut. Liam often finds himself battling through qualifiers, with mixed results. The new season hasn't seen him play many matches yet.
There have been some minor successes in the Champions League, where he managed to get through the opening round, but that's about it. He skipped Shanghai, and in Saudi Arabia, he was knocked out in the early rounds. Davis lost to Reanne Evans, who is a female representative on the tour. There wasn't much to take from that game, and the format was too short to make an impact.

Editorial Prediction
The winner will be decided in a best-of-nine frames format, leaving no room for a slow start. Let's be fair-Williams isn't quite ready to play at full capacity right now. He is stronger than his opponent, but it's unlikely his advantage will be overwhelming. Davis, on the other hand, hasn't been playing much lately and is clearly eager to avenge past defeats. His motivation should come through. Our bet is on over 6.5 frames total.
