Jonny Clayton vs Josh Rock prediction

The early frontrunner in this year's competition, Jonny Clayton has suffered opening-round exits in the each of the last two weeks in the Premier League, but such was his form before that, he remains in second place as we approach Night 9.

In an attempt to play himself back into form, the Ferret entered the Players Championship double-header in Leicester this week, but was eliminated in the round of 32 on both occasions.

Josh Rock will have felt a huge burden had been lifted in Berlin when he finally registered his first Premier League win last Thursday, and indeed it was Clayton that he defeated in the quarter-finals.

The Northern Irishman may begin to play with a little more freedom now, but his tournament average remains a lowly 91.15 - significantly worse than any of the other seven competitors.

Although Clayton's form has dipped a little, we think the Welshman will gain revenge this time around. Rock didn't exactly pull up any trees with his performance levels last week, despite his win, so it is difficult to have any confidence in him backing it up.
