Neil Robertson Preview – Robertson moving well in the draw
Neil Roberston was always likely to turn up the Crucible and be a strong contender.
He will be happy with his work so far in coming through a couple of tricky opening matches.
Robertson was untouchable in the first round, taking a 1-0 victory over Liang Wenbo.
The Australian was then always in control against Jack Lisowski in the second round, taking a 13-9 victory there.
In the match outright for snooker betting the win for Robertson in this match is at 2/5 odds-on* (odds taken 16:45 GMT on April 26th, 2021).
Roberston is a former World Champion, claiming the title in 2010.
Roberston has suffered a quarter-final exit in the last two editions of the Snooker World Championship.
But he is a strong favourite here and a Neil Robertson -3.5 handicap is a quote of 11/10 for snooker betting* (odds taken 16:45 GMT on April 26th, 2021).
There isn’t anything between the two of them in the head to head, each having won two of four previous ranking meetings.
The most recent of those was at this year’s Players Championship with Wilson winning 6-2.
Kyren Wilson Preview – Can Wilson prevail?
Last year’s World Championship runner up Kyren Wilson will be delighted with his progress.
It was against Ronnie O’Sullivan that he lost last year’s final, but that was a career-best effort from the Englishman in the World Championship.
Wilson has quietly put together some pretty decent form in the tournament.
In the last five editions, he has had three-quarter final exits, one semi-final exit and then the runner-up finish.
Wilson has not claimed a ranking event title this year but did win the non-ranking Championship League.
He opened in the first round of this year’s World Championship campaign with a 10-8 win over Gary Wilson.
Then it was a 13-10 success over Barry Hawkins in the second round that lined him up for this shot at a return to the semi final.
A Kyren Wilson +1.5 handicap for snooker betting is at 11/8* (odds taken 16:45 GMT on April 26th, 2021).
