THE PREDICTION

Two-time World Grand Prix champion James Wade was typically efficient in his first-round victory over Australian thrower Damon Heta and should always be seen as a potential winner of this tournament as, on the surface of things, it appears to suit his game. However, The Machine has in fact failed to progress beyond the second round since he reached the final in 2014 and he now comes up against a man who put in one of the most impressive performances in the first round. Stephen Bunting averaged just shy of 100 in his demolition of Daryl Gurney and he can be a tough man to stop when he is in his groove. Having ended his five-year wait for a title by winning a Players Championship event in July, the St. Helens man looks full of confidence right now and is tipped to edge out Wade in a high-quality contest.
