Lisowski vs Ashley Carty Prediction 18 September 2026

Jack Lisowski heads into this match having won five of his last ten contests-a middling run of form. However, by key statistical measures, he holds a clear edge over his opponent: over his past ten matches, Lisowski has racked up 27 breaks of 50-plus and fired in five centuries, with a highest break of 123. These numbers highlight his distinctly attacking style-Lisowski consistently turns visits into big scores, is capable of ramping up the pace, and often closes out frames with a single, commanding visit to the table. Even though he suffered a 2-4 defeat to Fan Zhengyi in his most recent outing, his run of productive visits remains steady; while opponents have posted similar stats (25 breaks over 50, four centuries), it’s Lisowski’s ability to seize the initiative with sustained scoring bursts that sets him apart.

Ashley Carty are going through a tough spell: just four wins and six defeats in their last ten matches clearly highlight a dip in form. Still, Carty’s main asset remains the ability to scrap for individual frames, even against higher-ranked opponents. Their highest break during this stretch was exactly 100, with ten half-century visits to the table. Notably, Carty’s rivals have produced significant breaks far more frequently-15 times surpassing the fifty-point mark-which points to issues either with defensive play or table control. In the most recent outing, Carty crashed out in the opening round against Leon Crowley, losing 1-4-a swift exit that only ramps up the pressure ahead of the next tournament. Nevertheless, Carty’s experience in battling until the end suggests we can expect them to at least try to impose their game, even if only in patches.
