��When the Covid-19 lockdown was imposed, the Tour Championship was literally a last minute casualty, as the snooker authorities left postponement to the final possible moment. Following the sport's profitable return at the Championship League, it will now start off on Saturday.The same social distancing rules will apply at the same Marshall Arena venue in Milton Keynes. 1 essential distinction with the earlier strategy is that Ding Junhui has withdrawn, replaced by Stephen Maguire.
Lengthy matches need to theoretically support the favourites
This finale of the Coral Cup series is an eight-man knockout event, based on the a single year ranking list. Matches are played over greatest of 17 frames until the final, which will be best of 19.
Longer matches imply the formbook is likelier to stand up than usual, despite the fact that really what that formbook quite entails is an open question. Only 4 of these played in the Championship League and, of these, only Judd Trump progressed past the opening group stage.
Market leading duo in very same half of the draw
If we are functioning on wider, earlier type, the draw appears rather lop-sided. We attempt to avoid tipping brief odds-on chances on these pages but eight/15 about the prime half winning is quite strong.
Trump and Neil Robertson are significantly ahead of the rest, but will meet in the semi-final if both progressing this weekend. That somewhat dampens my enthusiasm for an outright bet on either at odds of [two.7] and [four.7].
Neil Robertson v Stephen Maguire
I do anticipate that will be the case. Each had been reportedly practising for the duration of lockdown and, whilst they have been beaten in that somewhat random format last week, didn't look in terrible touch. Robertson for example made a lot of errors in 12 frames played, but also hit three centuries plus a 90.
Maguire truly leads their head-to-head 12-8 and has typically produced his very best snooker against this opponent. Their matches have frequently been classics.
That should guard against taking [1.28] against the Aussie but I do expect him to progress. Maguire only got into this occasion at late notice so there should be a question mark about his preparation. I am backing Robbo to win 9-three or 9-four.
Back Neil Robertson to beat Stephen Maguire 9-3 1u @ [eight.]
Back Neil Robertson to beat Stephen Maguire 9-four 1u @ [six.8]
Judd Trump v John Higgins
This is a repeat of final year's globe final. Again, I have significant doubts about whether or not Higgins will arrive in great type. He has often struggled in January, following a Christmas break from the game, and is generally observed to ideal effect following lots of match practice.
Trump didn't hit such breakbuilding heights but did win 14 frames out of a achievable 22. The globe champion and quantity 1 starts massive favourite against anyone today and won all four of their encounters more than the past 13 months. Take [1.78] about him beating the two.five Frame Handicap.
Back Judd Trump to win the two.5 Frame Handicap 8u @ [1.78]
Mark Selby v Yan Bingtao
Favourite amongst the bottom half, Selby hinted that he had been practising before the resumption, but it did not show in his performances. Frankly, while he has bundles of pedigree more than longer matches, I basically don't trust him today and he seems below-priced for every single tournament.
Pre-lockdown, Bingtao was in fine, progressive kind, reaching the final of the Players Championship and semis of the Welsh Open. We can only guess about his practice levels but one would hope that a youngster, with almost everything nonetheless to prove, will have taken each and every available opportunity. [two.88] about the upset here is fair worth.
Back Yan Bingtao 3u @ [two.88]
Shaun Murphy vs Mark Allen
The head-to-head stats amongst these two reasonably properly-matched main winners might surprise - Murphy leads 13-five. He would also be well ahead on pre-lockdown type. That validates odds of [1.63] about the Englishman but I'm loathe to take such quick odds provided that he didn't play in the Championship League. As well much guesswork.
The bet I like right here is More than two.five Centuries at Evens. Scoring was quite effortless on these tables in Milton Keynes last week and we saw dozens of century breaks, in spite of players coming in cold. Both of these are heavy scorers even when not in tip-top type.
Back More than 2.5 Centuries 3u @ [two.]

��Kemar RoachKemar Roach is the most trustworthy punting prospect in Test cricket. Forget all the massive names, no matter whether they be batters or bowlers, no-a single can come close to Roach's extraordinary win rate - an astonishing 50%.
Accurate, in the previous Roach has had small to beat on the leading West Indies bowler marketplace. But the 31-year-old is a master with new ball and old, a whippy, elastic action generating pace and bounce which regularly surprises the opposition regardless of getting played 56 Tests.
Roach's outstanding hit price is gathered from the last two-and-a-bit years of data when, in truth, there has been sturdy competitors in the Windies pace ranks. The dewy-eyed have practically (but not very) been prepared to hark back to the great old days. Shannon Gabriel terrorised batsmen for a quick even though just before injury slowed his pace although Jason Holder has been a reputable performer. Gabriel, alas, is recovering from ankle surgery and is unlikely to feature in the Test series against England next month.
The excellent news is that Roach, as attack leader, will make the trip. It will be fascinating to see how short he is priced for leading bowler for game a single in Southampton on July 8 but it will be a question of how low Betfair Sportsbook are ready to go. The excellent news is that it will not be close to the even cash his record suggests he deserves.
Pat Cummins
'Just Back Pat', inspired by Alan Partridge's self-serving 'Just Sack Pat' mantra, is a single of punting life's rules which can be relied on. Regardless of getting recognised as the world's ideal fast bowler by the ICC on their official rankings, he nevertheless rates as value.
Cummins has a 30% win rate on the leading 1st-innings bowler market place. His most current win was against New Zealand at the MCG in December. In a crowded marketplace - Mitchell Starc, Josh hazlewood and Nathan Lyon may possibly fancy themselves to be component of this list - Cummins comes out on top.
Of course the bookies know this. But they are not very quick sufficient and we were nevertheless acquiring five/two throughout that Kiwi series. That is the price for the notebook.
Ravi Ashwin
The last time we wrote about Ravi Ashwin was with our jaws on the floor. Betfair Sportsbook had priced him up at 4/1 to be leading India bowler against West Indies in the initial Test at North Sound final year. By our data (how a lot of instances he actually wins) he should have been 13/eight.
But they knew one thing we did not. Ashwin did not even get the likelihood to win. India didn't even choose him, preferring Ravi Jadeja who, at the time, had 1 leading bowler win in his preceding nine Tests. He is now one particular in 17.
Ashwin, of course, has returned to the XI and has notched two much more wins, bringing down his win price to 33.three%. With that record behind him and with Jasprit Bumrah (oh look, he's on our overrated list) taking up a large chunk of the book we can pile into anything larger than 2/1.
On property pitches, the margin is going to be tighter but you are probably tos till be in play. Away from residence, however, is where the massive numbers come up and we can make hay.
Neil Wagner and Tim Southee
Like Cummins, there is some thing reassuring about our list dovetailing with the ICC rankings. Wagner and Southee are at Nos 2 and four respectively.
But they do not take favourite status when it comes to prime New Zealand bowler. That honour goes to Trent Boult. Boult is not overrated or underrated. His price tag of around 5/two is slightly too skinny but, in fairness, it's pretty a lot bang on. Boult has win price of 25%, Wagner 33% and Southee 31%.
With Boult so popular - punters are wowed by that explosive pace and swing and the potential for him to rip through a top order - Wagner and Southee are pushed out to ther 3/1 mark. Each tick the value box.
How do we make up our thoughts between the two? Simple. On something fast and bouncy, Wagner is your man. If the ball is anticipated to swing, Southee will be to the fore.
As ever, there is a fly in the soothing ointment. The emergence of beanpole bowling all-rounder Kyle Jamieson could undo all our information perform. 1 to watch for sure.

��These games have now been postponed following the expanding predicament with the Coronavirus. QPR's young guns to test the Barnsley defence
QPR [1.97] v Barnsley [3.85] The Draw [three.75]
QPR sit completely in mid-table and come into this game in superb kind. Some optimistic supporters have spoken about the possibility of a late play-off push. Realistically, a prime half finish would rank as a superb achievement for Mark Warburton and his coaching employees. The R's are just six points off the prime six, and with Preston, Bristol City and Swansea all proving fairly inconsistent over the final couple of weeks, their hopes aren't very dead and buried just however.
The west Londoners come off the back of a superb victory against the Lilywhites. The manager's half-time modifications altered the course of the contest with impressive duo Ilias Chair and Luke Amos offering the side far far more in the final third. They had been also aided by Preston's unfathomable strategy of defending a one objective lead for 45 minutes, although that should not detract from the fact that the visitors have been superb after the break.
With Geoff Cameron suspended, Warburton will be forced to tweak his starting XI, and he may possibly opt for a more attacking line-up. He's tended to play it protected on the road in current weeks, deploying Marc Pugh and Dominic Ball to shield the defence and take the pressure off the likes of Grant Hall and Yoann Barbet. Nonetheless, at residence, he is far a lot more most likely to encourage his side to play on the front foot.
The form of Eberechi Eze continues to attract admirers from higher divisions and he is ably assisted by the resurgent Osayi-Vibrant Samuel. The former Blackpool man has enjoyed a terrific season in the Championship and his industrious method to games tends to allow QPR to develop a lot of goalscoring possibilities.
The hosts have netted 11 instances in their final four matches, and they've also managed to notch eight in their final three outings at this ground. Fans are understandably excited by their young side's potential to entertain, and this could be one of their final possibilities to see the likes of aforementioned Eze, Samuel and Ryan Manning play in blue and white hoops.
Only West Brom and Brentford have identified the net much more instances than the R's this season, and even though they've played a game far more than the Bees, they have nevertheless managed to notch the highest number of house objectives in the second tier.
They will be feeling confident coming into this game, specially when you element in their home record against Barnsley. They've won every of their last 11 matches against the South Yorkshire side at this ground, and in spite of eight various managers appearing in the residence dugout throughout this period, they appear to simply appreciate taking on the Tykes at Loftus Road.
Tykes' nonetheless conceding sloppy ambitions
The visitors are in true problems at the bottom of the table, and final week's damaging defeat to Cardiff appeared to be yet another nail in the relegation coffin. They are producing possibilities below Gerhard Struber, nevertheless, they switched off twice in two minutes and weren't in a position to discover a way back into the tie.
Their defence has enhanced considering that the Austrian arrived at Oakwell, although they nonetheless have tendency to concede sloppy targets, and that could play into QPR's hands on Saturday afternoon. The hosts will pounce upon any errors at the back and have the capability to be unforgiving in front of goal. Barnsley could locate the back of the net in this one, regardless of possessing the lowest conversion rate in the league, nonetheless, it could not be sufficient to safe them a share of the spoils.
Backing Over 1.5 QPR targets in this tie at four/five on the Sportsbook appears like a really excellent way of approaching this potentially higher-scoring contest. It would have paid out on 11 occasions at this ground so far this season.
Millwall and Derby to both register at the Den
Millwall [2.18] v Derby [3.85] The Draw [3.45]
Following last Friday's impressive victory at the City Ground, Millwall looked a very tempting prospect at [two.18] this weekend, even so, the Lions struggle to finish sides off in front of their personal fans, and it may be very best to swerve the match market place altogether in this one particular.
Gary Rowett has been in charge for 24 Championship matches and has picked up ten victories given that taking more than from Neil Harris. Half of these victories have been acquired on the road, with the Bermondsey club managing just a single win on their own patch given that New Year's Day.
Rowett has produced his side exceptionally difficult to beat, and they have suffered just 5 defeats below him, with two of those coming against Leeds and West Brom. In spite of this, they have grow to be difficult to trust at the Den, though they do have the tendency to uncover the back of the net. Only the aforementioned Baggies and Birmingham have kept them off the scoresheet at this ground so far this campaign, and Derby's defence does not appear robust adequate to handle the likes of Jed Wallace and Matt Smith.
Forty-4 objectives in 37 Championship games could not be an extraordinary total, but they do have a tendency to generate a fair number of possibilities per game, and their continual aerial bombardment of the opposition is probably to lead to a lot of uncertainty amongst the Derby back-line.
The Rams stay the only side in the second tier with no a clean sheet on their travels this season. Phillip Cocu's side have undoubtedly enhanced in the final third, and with a faint whiff of play-offs nonetheless in the air, their young squad will undoubtedly be up for for this trip to the capital. They've shipped 13 times in their final six away games and appear quite vulnerable, specially from set-piece circumstances.
Crucially, the visitors have located their shooting boots in recent weeks, and have netted three times in each and every of their last two Championship matches. They are playing with self-assurance in the final third, and they will fancy their probabilities of finding a way previous a Lions defence which has managed just a single clean sheet in their last 4 matches at this stadium.
BTTS is obtainable at 20/23 on the Sportsbook, and could be the greatest way to go in this 1. Millwall struggle to choose up points on their own patch, even though Derby are sloppy on the road and can't be trusted until they commence to show a small much more defensive solidity.
Stoke to safe a beneficial point in Berkshire
Reading [2.86] v Stoke [2.72] The Draw [3.15]
Stoke have turn into extremely difficult to beat below Michael O'Neill, and that back-to-fundamentals strategy on their travels has helped them preserve their heads above water at the bottom of the Championship. The Potters are far from secure, and they cannot afford to take their foot off the gas anytime soon, but they do appear far far more organised considering that the Northern Irishman arrived in Staffordshire.
They're undefeated in three of their final 5 matches on the road, and must most likely have taken all 3 points against Luton last month. Only 3 sides have beaten O'Neill's underachieving side in 2020, and they've shipped just two targets in their last 4 outings. The form of academy products Tyrese Campbell and Nathan Collins points to a bright future for the former Premier League side, and with the likes of Sam Clucas and Tommy Smith also hitting type in recent weeks, they are a match for any person at the moment.
Reading eased to a 3-1 victory at St.Andrews last weekend and although the jury is still out regarding the extended-term future of manager Mark Bowen, the Welshman has helped solidify the Royals and has quietly steered them into mid-table. Even though he has been occasionally accused of foregoing the a lot more aesthetically pleasing side of the game, his team do possess lots of flair players and the likes of John Swift, Pele and George Puscas have undoubtedly caught the eye at times this year.
They have a great record against Stoke at the Madejski, denying the guests a victory in all of their last 14 visits to this ground. Six of those meetings have ended in a stalemate, and we face the prospect of a related outcome after again. O'Neill was clearly playing for the point at Ewood Park on February 26, opting to bring on defensive reinforcements in the second half, and he is not afraid to ask his side to merely shut up shop and take something from the match.
The draw is accessible at [3.15] on the Exchange and appears worth backing in this clash in between two sides who are each led by pretty pragmatic managers.
