There is more to come at the World Matchplay at Winter Gardens on 18-26 July 2026.
No previous meetings between Bunting and Zonneveld, so both walk in with a clean slate.
Both have been inconsistent, Bunting winning 6 of his last 10 and Zonneveld 1 of his last 3.
A 4–6 loss to Ryan Joyce last time will still sting for Bunting. Zonneveld will want to forget his last outing, well beaten 1–6 by Ross Smith.
Bunting goes in as the 62% favourite; Zonneveld at 38% will not fold. The lean is real, but it has to be earned.
STATS VERDICT
The lean is Bunting at 62%, though Zonneveld has the tools to make it close.
