Preview

Mark Selby and Neil Robertson tend to bring out the best in one another and it should be no different when the fierce competitors scrap for a place in the last four of the Betway UK Championship.

Robertson has dominated their rivalry recently but the Leicester man is showing signs that he is back operating close to his best, so on current form there should be little to separate the pair.

That has been the case in their two meetings over this best-of-11 format since lockdown, with Robertson edging out his good friend in final-frame deciders in the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions and the English Open.

Another lengthy battle looks in store at the Marshall Arena, which suggests the odds-against quotes about the match featuring at least ten frames are worth taking advantage of.

Big breaks should also be the order of the day between these relentless scorers.

The pair had three centuries apiece when Robertson edged out Selby in a captivating Champions of Champions semi-final, while their last-four duel at the English Open also saw knocks of 134, 129 and 113.

Hill go 7-4 that the contest features at least three centuries - Selby made three of his own in his emphatic 6-3 win over Barry Hawkins in the last round.
