Nathan Aspinall v Michael Smith betting prediction, tips & start time

Nathan Aspinall v Michael Smith (19:45)

Over 9.5 Total Legs @ 5/6
Under 6.5 Total 180s @ 4/6
Bull Finish In Any Leg @ 2/1

This is the big match of the night!

It's a straight shootout, the winner goes to the O2 and the loser, I'm afraid, will not be going to London.

I'm backing there to be over 9.5 total legs. I think it will be a little edgy but I expect both players to go for it. They know that whoever loses, it's goodbye so expect the pair to push themselves the distance.

With that said, I am looking at the under in the 180s market. There could be a lot of 140s, they might even get three 180s apiece but I don't see there being anymore than six as it will be an edgy game.

A bull finish in any leg is a great price at 2/1. Both players are likely to have two or three shots at it and the way they play, there's a good chance that will come in.
