The non-stop bonkers action at the 2024 Snooker Championship League continues on Friday, with Robert Milkins and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh two of the highest-profile players on show in Leicester.
The action gets underway at midday on Friday from Groups 10 and 32.
Let’s take a look at some of the best Snooker Championship League tips for Friday plus the best snooker betting offers from the top online bookmakers.
Iulian Boiko to beat Robert Milkins
Robert Milkins isn’t a man in form that deserves to be backed as a favourite in this one.
His temper may have cooled since his fiery World Championship exit in April, but losing four of his last seven matches doesn’t bode that well for the “Milkman”.
Boiko has had some positive results in Q-School over the last couple of months and will arrive in Leicester with confidence and a point to prove.
11/4 is a big price for the Ukrainian to win at least three of the four frames.
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh to beat Mark Joyce
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh is the stand-out player in Group 32, and despite lingering down in 43rd spot in the world rankings, the Thai player will be looking to build on last season’s second round exit.
Mark Joyce in No. 73 in the world and has endured a miserable couple of seasons on tour.
The Englishman hasn’t got past the third round of a ranking tournament since 2017 and is there for the taking if Un-Nooh’s aggressive long-potting is on-song.
Un-Nooh has won three of the four meetings between these two players with a healthy 28-16 aggregate frame lead.
Jackson Page & Andrew Higginson to Draw 2-2
As is the nature of the Championship League that there are going to be a smattering of draws across the day’s play.
Looking at Group 10, there probably won’t be much between Page and Higginson in the standings as they scrap for a shot at the top spot.
Both men have had four attempts at getting past this stage of the Championship League before and have failed, so we have two chances at a fifth-time lucky in Leicester.
If either man is to win Group 10 then they will have to beat each other – this leads us to assuming these two will cancel each other out in a 2-2 scrappy affair.
