Mark Williams v Mark Allen preview, tips and odds

Mark Williams is strong favourite to win his 2011 World Snooker Championship quarter final against Mark Allen

Mark Williams won his first World Snooker Championship title eleven years ago, with the second coming in 2003 and the Welshman is now bidding for a hat-trick in 2011 after spending some time in the snooker wilderness. Can he see off Mark ‘The Pistol’ Allen, who has demonstrated his fighting qualities in both matches to date?

Match odds
Williams is about to become the world number one and his performances at the Crucible have demonstrated why he is one of the favourites to win the 2011 World Snooker Championship. He is a best price 2/5 with William Hill to beat Allen after making short work of Ryan Day and Jamie Cope.

Allen beat both Matthew Stevens and Barry Hawkins on a deciding frame and the northern Irishman is available at 12/5 withSkybet to win this quarter final. He will need to improve his standard of play to stand any chance.

Handicap betting
There is a suspicion that Williams can win this match comfortably, just as he has done in his games to date. The Welshman is playing solidly and Boylesports offer 9/10 about Williams with a -2.5 frame handicap, which would return a profit if he won 13-10 or better.

On the other hand, if you are expecting Allen to run his opponent close at the Crucible, Stan James go 10/11 about The Pistol with a 3.5 frame handicap, which needs Allen to get to 10 frames before Williams reaches 13.

Frame betting
While Allen cannot be easily written off, the truth is that Stevens and Hawkins both had ample opportunities to turn the screw against this plucky player. Williams has the class to win comfortably and there are some tasty correct score prices in the offing. 

RECOMMENDATIONS
Williams 13-6 – 14/1 with Boylesports
Williams 13-7 – 10/1 with Paddy Power
Williams 13-5 – 20/1 with Boylesports
