In-form Essex boys could produce a close semi-final

First semi-final
11am Saturday

Essex boys Stuart Bingham and Ali Carter will show the Bucharest crowds how it's done in the first semi-final of the Romanian Masters and with both players in decent nick, it could pay to expect a close match.

Carter has had the better of it in their personal series - he leads Bingham 15-6 with one meeting drawn. But with the pair in century breakmaking form in recent days and Bingham the only one of the two to have won a world title, that stat may not be key.

It's best of nine frames in the semis and punters can consider backing a high break to be compiled, but slight preference is for going over the total frames. The natural boundary is 7.5 and going over could lead to profit.

Recommendation
Over 7.5 frames
