Our Luke Woodhouse vs Max Hopp Prediction
Max Hopp made a stunning return to the Ally Pally in the first round, but it should be said that his opponent, Martin Lukeman, has been in poor form of late, winless since the middle of October.
Luke Woodhouse has been in good rhythm lately, having reached the final at PC34 and now holding a record of seven wins in his last 10. He would not have forgotten his loss to this opponent in May, and we feel he will get his revenge in this one. Our Luke Woodhouse vs Max Hopp prediction is Luke Woodhouse wins.
