Champion Of Champions Snooker Semi-Final Betting Tips: 6/4 Double Ahead Of Final Four

1 hour ago
| BY News Team

The Champion of Champions is down to its last four in Leicester, with Chris Wakelin, Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy and Kyren Wilson all one win away from Sunday’s final.

Here, we look at the snooker betting for both contests before considered predictions and tips on each clash as the tournament enters the final four stage.

Chris Wakelin vs Neil Robertson Prediction

Chris Wakelin has earned a first Champion of Champions semi-final by beating Barry Hawkins and Mark Selby, and he has done it without needing to play anywhere near his absolute ceiling.

That matters here, because Robertson is the sort of opponent who can punish lapses, especially in a best-of-11 frame match where a fast start can change the whole mood of the contest.

Robertson has twice won this event and is into the semi-finals for the eighth time overall. He also owns an 8-3 head-to-head lead over Wakelin, which is a big enough edge to trust when the pressure rises.

Wakelin did beat Robertson at the Shenzhen Open last month, so this is not one-way traffic, but the Australian’s tournament pedigree still looks stronger.

Pick: Neil Robertson to win (8/15)

Shaun Murphy vs Kyren Wilson Prediction

Shaun Murphy has been one of the standout scorers in Leicester, sweeping aside Ronnie O’Sullivan and Chang Bingyu to reach the last four without dropping a frame.

Kyren Wilson has looked just as sharp, though, backing up his Masters win with more ranking success and then powering past Zhao Xintong with a 6-1 win that featured a hat-trick of century breaks.

This is the trickiest semi-final to call because Murphy has won the last six meetings between the pair, including finals at the 2023 Tour Championship and the 2025 Masters.

Even so, Wilson’s current level feels hard to ignore, and his recent results suggest he is ready to end that losing run. Murphy’s clean route into the semi-finals is the safest sign that he can make this close, but Wilson’s form gives him the stronger case on balance.

Pick: Kyren Wilson to win (8/11)
