Wells vs Oliver Sykes Prediction 23 September 2026

Daniel Wells have shown average form over his last ten matches, picking up six wins against four losses. During this stretch, he has compiled an impressive 16 breaks of 50 or more, including two centuries-the highest being a 124. This volume of high-scoring visits highlights his ability to construct effective attacks, even when facing tough opposition. In his most recent outing at the International Championship, Wells cruised to a convincing 6-2 victory, underlining his current focus and composure. His opponents have also managed to notch up significant breaks-two centuries and fourteen half-centuries over these ten matches-but Wells have generally seized the initiative. While there are no available stats for his average points per frame, his overall approach can be described as balanced with an attacking edge, as evidenced by the frequency of his long breaks.

Oliver Sykes’ record of four wins and six defeats is far from impressive at this stage of the tournament. His main strength seems to lie in his resilience-his recent 4-3 victory over Reanne Evans highlights his composure under pressure in deciding frames. However, his break-building stats are less flattering: just nine breaks of 50+ across ten matches, with no century breaks to his name (his highest being only 81). In contrast, his opponents have racked up eighteen 50+ breaks and three centuries against him. This points to Sykes’ struggles in controlling the table against aggressive players and a lack of consistent scoring power over the course of a match.
