In winning his four matches at this tournament, Judd Trump has never lost more than two frames in any given game. He has beaten Hossein Vafaei the last four times they have met and is ranked thirty-two places higher than his opponent.

The last time Judd Trump played Hossein Vafaei it was a best-of-nine frames match, and he won without losing a frame. The way Trump has been playing this week, there's every chance he can do it again.

These two players have met four times before, and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh has won three of those matches. Un-Nooh has lost fewer frames in this tournament than Gary Wilson.

Of the three matches that Thepchaiya Un-Nooh has played this week, two have been won by this scoreline. If he can win the opening couple of frames, he may be able to do the same to Gary Wilson.

Blackburn are three places and three points outside the relegation zone. Middlesbrough are at the opposite end of the table in second. Having dropped points in their last two home games, Middlesbrough will be glad to be playing away, where they have won five of their last six games. Four of the teams they recorded victories over are above Blackburn in the table. Their only defeat came away at Coventry. Middlesbrough won on their last visit to Blackburn, so take them to do so again.
