Benito van de Pas v Jim Long – Jim Long under 2.5 180s

Benito has been struggling recently, but he has still been averaging well. If Jim Long’s first match is anything to go by, Benito could whitewash Long today.

Jim Long only averaged 75.33 in his first-round win over Michael Mansell while hitting just one 180 in 18 legs of darts. I struggle to see this game stretching out, giving Long even less chance of hitting 180’s.

The pressure of the big stage will certainly show for Jim Long, and Benito’s experience should make this short.

Steve West v Richard North – Both players to hit four or more 180s

There is going to be a lot of 180s in this match! Richard North hit a massive 10 180s in his first-round win, and he is in great form at the moment.

Simiarly, Steve West loves the maximum and has hit four or more 180s in his last four TV matches to a total of 24 180s. This game could stretch out for quite some time giving both players plenty of time to hit the 180s we need.

Kyle Anderson v Noel Malicdem – Kyle to hit the highest checkout score

Kyle Anderson should breeze through this match if he plays to his potential, but I do not underestimate Noel Malicdem. He is a decent player and can throw some good darts. However, I struggle to see him getting much in this one.

The pressure will be big against a player like Kyle that throws 90+ averages in his nine of his last ten matches including two over 100. Noel averaged a respectable 85.86 in his first-round win, but he rarely ever throws 90+ averages.

Kyle should start this game fast, and winning the first set will put a ton of pressure on Noel. Kyle has landed ton-plus finishes in four of his last five TV matches and I expect a few ton-plus finishes to win this bet.
