Higgins V Stevens
The Big Match!
Just a few seasons ago, this would have made for a final pairing.
This one is massive, as for Stevens if he wins , he is likely to regain a coveted top-16 ranking position.
For defending champion Higgins, he will be keen to make amends for what has been an overall fairly disappointing season.
Not much to choose between them, so if you want value 13/8 for Stevend looks good, but we have to go for the Scot.
