Judd Trump vs. Barry Hawkins: Hawkins +2.5 Handicap at 4/5 (1.8)
The Final of the 2023 European Masters boils down to Judd Trump vs. Barry Hawkins on Sunday. Trump, who had a fairly comfortable draw up until the semi-finals, took a deciding frame against John Higgins in the final four to book his spot in the final.
Trump is undefeated now since his World Championship exit back in April and heads to the final as the favourite. He would have been expecting to meet Mark Selby, but instead, he goes against Hawkins who pulled off a semi-final upset.
Hawkins took a 6-4 win over Selby, continuing an excellent run in Germany, which has also seen him beat reigning world champion Luca Brecel and Noppon Saengkham. Like Trump, he is undefeated in matches since his World Championship exit in April.
The head-to-head is fascinating. Hawkins has won three of the last four against Trump, including a meeting at last year’s European Masters. Hawkins may not be too far away in this one and is worth taking in a positive handicap.
Match Outright Odds: Trump 4/11 (1.36), Barry Hawkins 19/10 (2.9)
These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.

- Motivation: A defending champion has an extra focus on them, some players may be seeking big ranking points to move up to number one in the world. For some it could be prize money, or prestige. Read the news and look at snooker betting tips for insights.
About The Snooker World Championship
The Snooker World Championship is the most prestigious and lucrative tournament in professional snooker. It goes back to its origins in 1927 when Joe Davis won the title and a prize of £6.10s. Davis would go on to dominate the early days of the Snooker World Championship, winning it fifteen times on the bounce.
In 1969, heralded as the modern era of snooker, the tournament switched to a knockout format and within a decade had moved to the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, in 1977. Since then, the tournament has produced many memorable champions, such as Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump.
The Snooker World Championship is also known for its long matches, lasting up to 35 frames over two days, and its high standard of play and sportsmanship. Track all the action with our World Snooker Championship predictions.
