Our Martin Schindler vs Ryan Searle Prediction
Ryan Searle has been in solid form of late and carried that into the Ally Pally this year, where he has yet to drop a set. However, this is easily the toughest opponent he has faced here so far.
Martin Schindler is the underdog in this match despite only losing two of his last eight matches in all competitions - both against Gerwyn Price. Even if the German does lose this one, we feel it will be by a slender margin. Our Martin Schindler vs Ryan Searle prediction is Martin Schindler +2.5.
