Stan Moody vs Grace Prediction 26 July 2026

Stan Moody heads into this match having won five of his last eight outings, a run that can be described as average by current standards. His main strengths lie in his attacking play: over his past ten matches, Moody has racked up 17 breaks of 50 or more points, including three centuries, with a highest break of an impressive 135. On the defensive side, his opponents have managed just one century and twelve half-century breaks against him, highlighting Moody’s ability to control the flow of matches, at least in certain spells.

David Grace is enjoying a strong run this season, racking up seven wins and suffering just one defeat in his last eight matches, a clear indicator of impressive form. While his scoring output has been somewhat modest in terms of big breaks, with only two centuries and thirteen half-centuries across his last ten contests (his highest break being 104), Grace has done well to limit his opponents’ scoring opportunities. He has conceded just a single century and nine half-centuries over that stretch. In his most recent outing at this tournament, Grace dispatched Deng Haohui 4-1, underlining his ability to hit the ground running even against tricky opposition. Notably, he has shown real resilience in the latter stages of matches lately, closing out tight frames and protecting leads when it matters most.
