Betfred World Championship snooker qualifiers: Friday betting preview & tip

Session times 10am, 2.30pm & 7pm Friday

It's day three of the Betfred World Championship qualifiers and consistent Li Hang looks capable of making light work of fellow Chinese potter Niu Zhuang in Sheffield.

Li is getting better all the time and is taking it to many of the top players so it will be a surprise if Niu, who has yet to turn heads in the game, has enough in his armoury to stop his compatriot.

Li was 4-6 to make light of a handicap concession of 4.5 frames, but even at the new price of 4-7 he still looks value to get the job done before Niu wins six frames.

Jimmy White is looking fit and well and the Whirlwind could be worthy of inspection at 22-1 to nail a Crucible berth. It’s a tough heat with Ali Carter, Yuan SiJun and Michael White all involved but Jimmy White is still playing well at 56.

Recommendation
Li Hang -4.5 frames
1pt 4-7 Betfair, Paddy Power, Sky Bet
