The action has been red-hot inside the Crucible this week as the 2023 Snooker World Championship kicks into gear.
We’ve seen some magic from Ronnie O’Sullivan and Hossein Vafaei, plus two incredible 146 breaks from Neil Robertson.
Tuesday’s action looks just as stacked as we welcome back the 2019 winner, Judd Trump.
Let’s take a closer look at the Day 4 action:
Jack Lisowski 10-7 or 10-8 vs Noppon Saengkham at 7/1 and 7/1 with bet365 (Tuesday 18th April, 10:00)
We’re all still waiting for Jack Lisowski to win a major ranking title.
He has the ability in buckets, but has struggled to get over the line by putting a consistent run of wins together.
He ran to the quarter-finals last season at the Crucible and we think he’s got enough to get past Noppon Saengkham even if there are a few scares along the way.
The Thai player has fallen early in a lot of this season’s ranking tournaments but is a natural scorer and should have pockets of success.
Oddly, these two have never played each other on the tour.

Gary Wilson -3.5 handicap vs Elliot Slessor with Betvictor (Tuesday 18th April, 10:00)
Gary Wilson has the Crucible pedigree after reaching the semi-finals in 2019.
Since then, the “Tyneside Terror” has won the Scottish Open, finished runner-up at the British and run to the last four of the WST Classic, European Open and Six-red.
Wilson is in the form of his career whereas the opposite could be said of his opponent, Elliot Slessor.
Slessor nearly dropped out of the top 64 this season and turned up a few trees to get through the qualifiers for the Worlds – we’re not expecting an upset here.

At 11/8 a £10 bet would return £23.75

Anthony McGill +2.5 handicap vs Judd Trump at 10/11 with bet365 (Tuesday 18th April, 14:30)
This jumped out as one of the early banana-skin fixtures for the seeded players.
We don’t need to waste too much time underlining the talent of Judd Trump, but the “Ace in the Pack” hasn’t been a full deck this season.
If there was a player to run the 2019 winner close then it’s the Scotsman Anthony McGill.
McGill is appearing at the Crucible for his ninth season in a row and this experience on the big stage bodes well for the man – he has made two previous semi-finals and a quarter-final, bowing out in the first round just twice.
We’re giving McGill a 2.5 frame head start here in what could be a thriller.

Lewis is taking Anthony McGill with a +2.5 handicap start
At 10/11 a £10 bet would return £19.09
