Fan Zhengyi vs Davies Prediction 15 September 2026

Fan Zhengyi have displayed average form over their last ten matches. The Chinese player has compiled four century breaks and 19 breaks of 50 or more during this stretch-a testament to his confident attacking game. His highest break reached an impressive 119, underlining his ability to capitalize on strong positions at the table. However, a recent 1-4 defeat to Anthony McGill could indicate some minor inconsistencies or a search for rhythm after a run of positive results. Defensively, there is room for improvement: opponents have managed one century and ten 50+ breaks against him in recent outings, suggesting Fan are not yet fully neutralizing their rivals’ scoring opportunities. 

Liam Davies heads into this match riding the momentum of a strong run-he has claimed victory in seven of his last ten outings, a testament to both his consistency and mental resilience in tight finishes. In his most recent clash with Hammad Miah, the Welshman edged out a narrow 4-3 win, demonstrating his composure under pressure right up to the final frame. Statistically, Davies outperforms his opponent in terms of half-century breaks, racking up 26 so far, but trails slightly in century breaks (3 to Fan's 4). His highest break stands at 113, just shy of his rival’s best, yet the frequency of his sizable contributions highlights his ability to deliver under duress. On the defensive end, however, there is still room for improvement: opponents have compiled five centuries and seventeen half-centuries against him over the same period, leaving some openings for rivals to exploit.
