Fu 7/4 to overcome Trump in China

The China Open takes centre stage on the snooker calendar this week, and Coral’s bet of the day comes from a tasty meeting between Judd Trump and Marco Fu, in which the latter potter is 7/4 to secure victory.

Hong Kong cueman Fu will be relishing another major ranking event on his home soil and, having beaten Trump in their first-ever meeting which was interestingly at the China Open way back in 2007, he will be gunning for further success here.

The two-time ranking event winner four-time Gold medallist at the Asian Games takes huge confidence and momentum into this last 16 encounter, having emphatically dispatched Robert Milkins with a devastating 5-0 whitewash to reach this stage.

Before impressively downing the Milkman without conceding a frame, Fu has toppled Welshman Gareth Allen in his opening match-up with a 5-2 result then prevailed by the same scoreline over compatriot Yu Delu, proving his brilliant baize form.
