Verdict

Luke Woodhouse v Lourence Ilagan

While Luke Woodhouse is easily the better player of the two, Lourence Ilagan can be a tricky customer. The Filipino is capable of playing to a 90+ average and has taken sets off decent players at the World Championships.

I'm still expecting Woodhouse to win, but it could be closer than the odds would have you believe. Woodhouse to win either 3-1 or 3-2 both offer decent value.
