Head-to-head statistics Wilson - Leone Crowley



Kyren Wilson Player Overview
Wilson has delivered a solid run over their last ten matches, picking up five wins along the way. During this stretch, they've racked up an impressive 17 breaks of 50+ and even notched a century, underlining both their attacking intent and ability to seize control in frames. It's also worth highlighting the calibre of opposition they've faced-despite losing to Ding Junhui in the quarter-finals of the previous tournament, Wilson managed to take two frames off a formidable opponent, demonstrating consistency even against top-tier players. While their rivals have compiled more significant breaks (22 breaks of 50+ against Wilson during this period), the overall balance remains: in terms of points scored, Wilson have kept pace with most recent opponents. The format of this tournament suits their aggressive style, allowing them to impose an attacking game plan. Short bursts aren't really Wilson's forte; instead, they've already shown they can put together confident, sustained runs at the table.

Leone Crowley Player Overview
Crawley head into this match on the back of a rough patch, having picked up just two wins in their last ten outings-a disappointing run that highlights their lack of consistency both in results and overall play. Their highest break during this stretch is just 80 points, and they've only managed to clear the 50+ mark on eight occasions. Against stronger opposition, Crawley have struggled defensively, conceding as many as seventeen half-century breaks and allowing a high break of 133 points. In their most recent match, they fell 2-4 to Donaldson, with nerves showing in the closing frames and little evidence of resilience from Crawley when it mattered most. On the plus side, they have shown some fight late in matches and produced occasional bursts at the start of frames, but these flashes are not enough to suggest they can go toe-to-toe with the favorite over the distance.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Wilson are clearly in better form and far more efficient in attack, with a run of seventeen half-century breaks that leaves Crowley’s stats trailing. The Irishman has struggled to put together big breaks even against less accomplished opponents, so it’s hard to see him dictating the pace here, even over a longer Best of 11 format. There’s no need to overthink it - we’re backing under 7.5 frames.No comments
