Coral Scottish Open round 2 tips starring Ronnie O’Sullivan and John Higgins plus acca

Murphy to lead Guodong 3-1 after four frames

The Magician Shaun Murphy must overcome Chinese cueman Xiao Guodong in order to progress on Scottish soil and he will be confident of doing so after dispatching his next opponent’s compatriot Zhao Xintong in his opener.

Harlow’s 34-year-old break builder is 33/20 to secure a 3-1 lead over his round 2 foe after four frames played at the Emirates Arena.

O’Sullivan to sink Stefanow 4-1

Taking centre stage and hogging the headlines will likely be five-time Crucible king O’Sullivan once again, as he contests little known Polish youngster Adam Stefanow.

The Rocket looked in good form in his opener, but let some carelessness slip in to concede some unnecessarily dropped frames. Following his win over Matthew Selt, he is therefore a promising 2/1 to prevail 4-1 this time out.

Higgins to whitewash Donaldson

Rejuvenated snooker veteran Higgins has taken to the Scottish Open as the leading light on his home soil, and he will next contest Scott Donaldson in round 2.

The Wizard of Wishaw has been in great form and looks more than capable of downing his next opponent in front of a partisan crowd. Higgins is therefore 14/5 to whitewash Donaldson 4-0 here.
