Fresh from his round 4 win over Luke Humphries, Peter Wright appears to be returning to the peak of his powers. As such, ‘Snakebite’ merits support to score a minimum of 6 180s during his quarter-final clash with Stephen Bunting on New Year’s Day.

The Scotsman has been filling up the treble 20 segment on a regular basis en-route to this stage of the competition, having hit a combined total of 19 so far. He has won the maximum duel in each of his 3 matches to date, most notably totting up 10 against Jermaine Wattimena in round 3.

Thus, Wright looks worth backing to rack up at least 6 180s here. This game could go the distance, so there should be ample opportunity for Wright to cover the proposed line.

With the likelihood of their being little to separate the pair, it also makes sense to support over 6.5 sets. A game featuring 7+ sets would require both players to win at least 2 sets each. Both arrowsmiths are in terrific form and will be full of confidence, so it’s difficult to envisage anything other than a tight tungsten tussle.
