Mark Allen Backed at 13/10 to Beat Wu Yize — Snooker Scores Today
Snooker scores today opened with a betting call on the World Snooker Championship semi-finals, where Richard Mann backed Mark Allen to beat Wu Yize at 13/10. The second semi-final was set for Thursday afternoon, with Allen entering as the more proven force in a match that could push him toward the sport's biggest prize.
Allen’s Triple Crown route
Allen’s case rests on a career that already includes 12 ranking titles and the Masters in 2018. A win in Sheffield would complete the Triple Crown for him, which gives the line a clear target beyond one-off match form.
“2pts Mark Allen to beat Wu Yize at 13/10 (General)” was the recommendation at the start of the preview. Mann added, “Thursday's second semi-final presents a real clash of styles, with the experienced, all-round excellence of MARK ALLEN coming up against wildly-talented rookie Wu Yize.”
He also wrote, “His CV features 12 ranking titles in a highly-decorated career already, including the UK Championship.” Allen had already shown his route through the draw by coming from behind to beat Zhang Anda in round one, then Kyren Wilson in his next match, before another comeback against Barry Hawkins in a high-quality match.
Wu Yize and the Crucible
Wu Yize brought a different case. He had won a maiden ranking title at the International Championship and beat John Higgins in that final, then backed it up by beating Mark Selby in round two.
The 2021 frame count still sits in the background of Allen’s Crucible story. He lost 17-15 to Selby in the semi-finals that year, and this meeting with Wu was scheduled over four sessions, so the contest asked for more than a fast start.
Mann closed his case by saying, “Allen seems sure to play well and at the very least make it incredibly hard for his opponent, meaning match quotes of 13/10 are attractive.” For readers tracking the market, the line points one way: Allen is the pick, Wu is the danger, and the next few sessions decide whether the Triple Crown chase stays alive.
