Coral’s bet of the day

• Stephen Maguire has won last three meetings with Mark Selby
• The Scot conceded just four frames in those victories
• Maguire saw off Ken Doherty 5-1 in previous German Masters round

Maguire 13/8 to topple Selby in Germany

The world’s greatest potters are currently contesting at the German Masters, and Coral’s bet of the day involves world number one Mark Selby’s baize battle with Stephen Maguire, with the latter Scot 13/8 to secure a last 16 victory.

Glasgow’s On-Fire Maguire holds a strong record against the reigning world number one, having prevailed in 10 total match-ups to Selby’s 11 throughout their respective careers.

Although, it’s the in-form Celtic cueist that has been the more dominant force of late, triumphing in three successive competitive clashes with the Jester from Leicester, including a comfortable Champions League win last month.

Selby to succumb to menace Maguire again

The 2014 world champion will be sick of the sight of his constant Scottish conqueror, having lost four of their previous five encounters since the year of his maiden Crucible crowning, and recent form suggests he could suffer further misery.
