This is a classic contrast of styles. Bunting will look to overpower Wade with 180s, while Wade aims to punish any mistakes with clinical checkouts.

Bunting holds the scoring edge with a 98.10 average and high 180 frequency. Wade averages 94.60, relying on steady 140s and precise setup play.

Wade is renowned for his 43.5% checkout rate and pressure-cooker finishes. Bunting is highly efficient too, hitting doubles at 40.8% recently.

Their head-to-head history is incredibly tight, with Wade often stealing legs late due to his superior double-hitting under pressure.

Wade will try to slow the tempo, forcing Bunting out of his rhythm, while Bunting must maintain high scoring on throw.

Wade is one of the most resilient players in darts history, but Bunting's recent confidence makes him formidable in deciders.

A highly competitive match that is likely to go the distance, with Bunting slightly favored to edge a 3-2 victory.

While Wade's finishing is elite, Bunting's superior scoring power should carry him to a narrow victory in a tight contest.
