Quarter finals
From 11am Friday

Ali Carter and Stephen Maguire kicked off their campaigns in Bucharest strongly on Wednesday when cruising to 4-0 victories against Mark Williams and Mark King respectively, and they now clash in the Romanian Masters quarter-finals.

Both players looked strong in the balls as Carter compiled runs of 74, 133 and 71 while Maguire notched four decisive breaks of 109, 61, 108 and 74.

A high-quality affair is expected with these two classy break-builders clearly in good nick, the smart play is siding with there being at least one century compiled during this best-of-seven contest.

Stuart Bingham, world champion in 2015, needed a snooker in his decider with Neil Robertson and is fancied to continue his good form and see off Liang Wenbo in the other quarter-final.

Recommendation
Over 0.5 centuries in Carter v Maguire
2pts 4-5 bet365
