Neil Robertson vs Mark Selby Prediction: Selby to qualify for the semis

Manchester Central will host the World Tour Championship quarterfinal encounter between Neil Robertson and Mark Selby. The two players will enter this game with confidence, hoping to get things right. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Neil Robertson

Neil Robertson will hope to step up once again after a solid Players Championship performance. Despite losing to Kyren Wilson in the semifinal of that competition, prior encounters saw him show character, picking up crucial wins. In that run, Neil Robertson defeated Sijun Yuan, Guodong Xiao, Shaun Murphy, Stuart Bingham, and Mark Selby. Ahead of this game, Neil Robertson is the underdog, but having won the last two matches of this fixture, he will hope for a similar result here.

Mark Selby

Mark Selby will hope to keep things running as he comes in as the favourite here. The last time out in this competition, Mark Selby defeated Si Jiahui, ending 10-6 in a 19-frame contest. However, an overall look at Mark Selby’s recent matches has seen him win four times in his last six games, losing to Neil Robertson and Stuart Bingham. In that run, Mark Selby picked up wins over Jackson Page, Jimmy Robertson and Si Jiahui.

Expert Betting Tips

Mark Selby has a tough job responding to having lost consecutive times in this fixture. However, Neil Robertson has been brilliant in recent times, and it is just tough to write him off with his recent display. In the meantime, I expect a tight contest, feeling the scoreline will be close, while Mark Selby will win at full time.
