Stephen Maguire vs Anthony McGill Result, Score & Stats

🔅 Maguire have taken three wins from their last five matches, including a convincing 5-1 victory over David Grace. At the Shenzhen Open, only Mark Selby managed to stop the Scot, though Maguire still claimed three frames in that contest. McGill are also in competitive form: they beat Wang Xinbo 4-2 and Fan Zhengyi 4-1, and pushed Judd Trump all the way to a decider before narrowly losing. The head-to-head record is perfectly balanced — both players have four wins apiece. Notably, just a year ago, Maguire routed his opponent 5-0.

Both players bring a wealth of tactical experience and know how to adjust their approach after a tough frame. Maguire have played at least six frames in each of their last five matches, while McGill have already shown he can hold his own against top-level opposition. In a shorter format, it’s unlikely either side will dominate enough for a 4-0 or 4-1 scoreline. A battle stretching to the sixth or even seventh frame looks much more likely. Our prediction: over 5.5 frames.
