Fajing Sun v Jie Cui

Match preview, prediction and odds

Our pick

LeanWON
J. Cui to win1.81
Price too short today - wait for 1.83 or bigger · our chance 55% · market 47/53, us 45/55

J. Cui is 3-7 over the last ten and 23-22 on hard this season. F. Sun is 5-5 over the last ten and 30-25 on hard this season. F. Sun took a medical timeout on 2026-10-09. J. Cui took a medical timeout on 2026-10-05. The head to head is F. Sun 1-4.

The pick is J. Cui to win. We make it a 55% chance, so it is only worth backing at 1.83 or bigger. At 1.81 that is not there yet - leave it, or wait for the price to drift in-play (an early break against usually does it).

An opinion from the numbers, not a guarantee. 19+, bet responsibly.

Ranking points fall off a year after they are earned, so a player who went deep here last year must match it or drop in the rankings. That shapes effort in a way the price does not always show.
