Fan Zhengyi vs Hossein Vafaei Result, Score & Stats

🔥 Fan Zhengyi and Hossein Vafaei meet in the International Championship quarter-finals. Fan have won four matches in a row, including victories over Judd Trump (6-5), Pang Junxu (6-2) and Liam Davies (6-4). Vafaei have been equally impressive, beating Stuart Carrington (6-0), Mark Selby (6-2) and Si Jiahui (6-3) in succession. The Iranian has also won both previous head-to-head meetings, each by a 4-2 scoreline.

We favour Hossein Vafaei, who have looked assured throughout the tournament. The Iranian has conceded just five frames across the last three matches, with the win over Selby particularly convincing. Fan Zhengyi are also in excellent form, but have yet to find a way past Vafaei in their previous meetings. That form, combined with the head-to-head record, makes the Iranian our pick. Prediction: Hossein Vafaei to win.
