Chris Dobey vs Stephen Bunting Prediction

The 2025 Premier League began in fine fashion for Chris Dobey, who reached the final in Belfast, but the world number eight has failed to win a single game in the five nights since.

Despite averaging just shy of 99, Dobey lost to Rob Cross in last week's quarter-final with missed doubles once again costing him. The former Masters champion currently has the lowest checkout percentage of all eight competitors.

If it's gone badly for Dobey though, it's been a disaster for Stephen Bunting, who is yet to put a point on the board in his second participation in the Premier League.

The Bullet once again produced some good numbers in Nottingham last week, averaging over 100 for the third time in the last four Premier League nights, but there was no change in outcome as he lost 6-4 to the eventual champion of the night, Gerwyn Price.

This is a fascinating battle between two Premier League strugglers who will be desperate to get a win on the board. It's bound to be a nervy affair, but with Bunting boasting superior tournament statistics to Dobey, we're backing him to progress to the last four in Cardiff.
