“Blink and you’ll miss him”… it’s Ronnie O’Sullivan.
And in Group 2 against an amateur, plus seeds 52 and 82, this phrase might be more suitable than ever on Tuesday at the Snooker Championship League.
O’Sullivan takes on Kayden Brierley, He Guoqiang and Mitchell Mann in a trio of matches that he should canter through, honing in on one of the few titles he hasn’t actually won.
The boys from Group 12 are also in action on Tuesday, featuring world number 19 and “bridesmaid” of ranking titles, Jack Lisowski.
Let’s take a look at some of the best Snooker Championship League tips for Tuesday, plus the best snooker betting offers from the top online bookmakers.
Jack Lisowski to beat Anton Kazakov 3-0
The wait for a major title goes on for Jack Lisowski.
The 32-year-old has reached six rankings titles finals and one other, losing all seven and since struggling with his form.
But “Jack-pot” is still young and has bags of talent on the baize. His disappointing 2023-24 season will be in the rear-view mirror now, and he’s got a golden opportunity in Leicester to break his duck in a winnable tournament.
He’s been paired with Anton Kazakov in his opener on Tuesday and shouldn’t have any problems sweeping aside the Ukrainian amateur – 3-0 is odds on but still holds value on the face of the gulf between them.
Ronnie O’Sullivan – 1 match century vs Kayden Brierley
After missing out on an eighth World Championship in the spring, “Rocket” Ronnie O’Sullivan is starting up yet another campaign looking to make more history.
He has never won the Championship League, and even if we don’t think it will keep him up at night, O’Sullivan is a perfectionist who will want to get back playing his best snooker as soon as possible.
Who knows what version will turn up on Tuesday, but in a game that could go four frames, a single century from O’Sullivan doesn’t sounds like a lot to ask.
He Guoquiang 2-2 Mitchell Mann
Both He Guoquiang and Mitchell Mann will be arriving in Leicester with little hop of advancing into the next stage.
Gaining three wins in a group involving Ronnie O’Sullivan is one of the tallest orders in the sport, and that’s after they have to square off against each other.
In what will probably determine second spot in the group, we fancy these two to cancel each other out in a 2-2 draw.
A third of Monday’s games finished 2-2 and in this short format we’re backing another.
