Woollaston vs Pullen Prediction 16 September 2026

Ben Woollaston have endured a tough stretch in their last ten matches, managing just three wins against seven defeats-a clear sign of poor form. Their break-building has also lacked consistency during this period, with only 11 breaks of 50 or more and none reaching a century. The highest break Woollaston have produced is 89, but opponents have regularly outperformed them, racking up 23 breaks of 50+ and five centuries in total. Woollaston's most recent official outing ended in disappointment as they fell 1-4 to Ashley Carty, underlining ongoing issues both at the start of frames and in closing them out.

Liam Pullen heads into this match riding high after a commanding 4-0 victory over Paul Norris-a fresh triumph that should boost his confidence. His record over the last ten matches mirrors his opponent’s in terms of wins (three apiece), but the finer details set him apart: Pullen has racked up more impressive breaks, with fifteen runs over fifty points and five centuries (his best, a 115). On the flip side, he’s also faced more heavy scoring from opponents-22 breaks of 50+ and four centuries against him-which highlights the need for greater focus in the closing stages of frames. His clean sweep in the previous round demonstrates his ability to seize the initiative early; when Pullen finds his rhythm, he can dominate with short bursts of brilliance, even against seasoned campaigners.
