Prediction
Jonny Clayton
Clear favourite
- Clayton leads the Premier League with 4 wins, 6 finals and 31 points — the most dominant record in the field
- Clayton's 97.6 season average leads van Veen's 95.8 — and he leads van Veen by 18 points in the standings
- Clayton beat van Veen 6–5 in the Night 12 semi-final and 6–2 in the Night 3 final; van Veen's only win over Clayton was 6–4 in Night 1
Stat worth knowing
Van Veen's record this season is the most statistically confusing in the competition. Four finals reached, zero wins. The quarter-final stage is where he is most dangerous — he has converted every QF he has played. Clayton has beaten him twice. The edge belongs to Clayton, but van Veen has the tools to cause problems early.
Stats verdict
Clayton is the strongest pick on the card. Van Veen's quarter-final record is the only statistical argument against it.
