Hawkins vs Wells Prediction 22 September 2025

Barry Hawkins is in fine form, having secured seven victories in his last ten matches. He's been consistently racking up points, with 19 breaks over 50 and four centuries during this stretch. In his recent outing at the English Open, he narrowly fell to Zhou Yuelong, 2-4, despite showcasing a high level of play throughout the match. Barry's style can be described as hybrid; he seizes attacking opportunities effectively but is also capable of playing cautiously, controlling the pace of the game. His strong performances in tournaments of this caliber make him one of the favorites in the competition.

Daniel Wells has won four out of his last eight matches, showcasing resilience against Pan Junxu (3-4) in the previous tournament. While the stats indicate he has conceded more high breaks against him (27 breaks of 50+), he compensates with his knack for clinching tight frames. A hallmark of Wells' playing style is his aggressive offense, boasting a high success rate in opening sequences. The head-to-head encounters between these opponents could prove to be an intriguing challenge for both.
