Head-to-head statistics Pullen - Muir



Liam Pullen Player Overview
Liam Pullen have shown inconsistent form over his last ten matches, recording just three wins alongside six defeats. However, his break-building stats during this stretch stand out: he has compiled 32 breaks over 50 points and racked up eight centuries, a clear indicator of his attacking potential. His highest break in this period, a 131, highlights his ability to convert difficult positions at the table. Pullen’s most recent outing ended in a 2-4 loss to Daniel Wells, underlining ongoing struggles to maintain momentum over longer matches. Still, his impressive scoring whenever he gets in suggests Pullen are capable of producing fireworks in attack, even amid a general dip in results.

Ross Muir Player Overview
Ross Muir heads into the match on the back of a confident 4-1 win over Panchaya Channoi in the opening round of the tournament-a strong start that could boost his morale after a challenging run of fixtures. Unlike his opponent, Muir’s tally of big breaks is more modest: he’s surpassed the 50-point mark just 14 times in his last ten matches and hasn’t managed a single century in that span. Conversely, he’s conceded two centuries to opponents during the same period and has allowed 19 mid-range breaks, suggesting potential defensive vulnerabilities against an aggressive, attacking player like Pullen. Still, Muir’s recent positive momentum might help him stay competitive in each frame and capitalize on any mistakes his opponent makes under pressure.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The two players come into this match on fairly even footing, with neither enjoying a clear run of form, both have struggled to string together wins over the past month. However, the stats strongly favour Liam Pullen, who has shown far more aggression and consistency in building long breaks: eight centuries to Muar’s none is a significant advantage. Ross impressed in the opening round, but when you factor in break-building ability and clinical finishing, backing Liam Pullen to win looks like the logical call here.No comments
