Iulian Boiko vs Gong Chenzhi Prediction 25 July 2026

Over his last ten matches, Boiko has delivered fairly average results: five wins and three defeats. What stands out is his ability to rack up scoring runs: he has compiled 14 breaks of 50 or more during this stretch, underlining his knack for consistently putting opponents under pressure with sustained visits. His highest break in this period is 90, so no centuries, but Boiko’s steady scoring allows him to dictate the pace in most frames. In his most recent outing, Boiko edged out Luo Zetao 4-3 in a Best of 7 format, showcasing his composure and ability to close out tight contests. Such experience adds confidence specifically in the shorter matches of the tournament.

Guang Chenzi's recent run has been less impressive: with four wins and five losses in his last ten matches, his current form falls short by most analytical standards. Still, he edges his opponent in terms of attacking output, firing in fifteen breaks of fifty or more points and recording two centuries, the highest an imposing 113, which highlights his ability to produce explosive frames. On the defensive end, however, there are clear vulnerabilities: his opponents have combined for twenty-one half-centuries and six centuries over the same stretch, underlining an open, high-risk approach both at the start and in the closing stages of frames. His latest victory a hard-fought 4-3 win over Xu Si in a Best-of-7 format came after a dramatic battle, with Guang holding his nerve under sustained pressure right until the final ball.
