2025 World Series Of Darts Finals: Day 2 (Afternoon) Betting Tips

• Over 9.5 Legs: 1/1 at Betfred

Chris Dobey is another player who has struggled with consistency this season, but he does have two Players' Championship titles under his belt this year. If he's on his game, he remains one of the most dangerous players in the PDC, but he faces a tricky opener here.

Luke Woodhouse is a frustrating player to watch if you're a fan of him, because just when it looks like he's going to kick into gear and push up the rankings, he has a poor few months. He's on a run like that at the moment, having failed to win more than three games in a tournament since PC16 in May.

The legs look great value here as I suspect this could be a nervy affair, with both desperate for form, so over 9.5 legs looks the sensible route in this one.

• Ross Smith Most 180s, Highest Checkout & Win: 5/4 at Bet365

Jonny Tata has impressed during his appearances at World Series events, highlighted by a victory over Peter Wright in the 2023 NZ Darts Masters, narrowly losing out 6-5 to Rob Cross in the subsequent match. Just last month, Tata competed in the NZ and Australian Masters, impressing again, but lost out 6-4 to Gerwyn Price and 6-3 to Luke Humphries.

Ross Smith continues to climb the world rankings and is having another impressive season. The Englishman will have to be careful in this contest, though, as the Kiwi could be a potential banana skin.

I do think this match will be closer than most expect, but Smith should have far too much quality.

• Over 9.5 Legs: 1/1 at Paddy Power

Cor Dekker has found it tough on the PDC tour this season, but he still has enough quality to be competitive in this match.

Raymond van Barneveld needs to concentrate if he's to avoid an upset, as he is letting far too many matches slip out of his grasp. If he's playing well, he should come through comfortably, but if he starts shaking his head when he's missing, this could become a scrappy affair.

• Dave Chisnall To Win: 15/8 at Ladbrokes

Nathan Aspinall enjoyed a summer break after declining an invite to the NZ and Australian Masters, so it remains uncertain how match-sharp he is. He's had a fabulous season so far, though, but I worry slightly about his rhythm without many games under his belt lately.

Dave Chisnall has been far too inconsistent this season and has struggled on tour this year. He remains so dangerous when he's on form, though, and surely it's only a matter of time before he fires into gear.

Chizzy looks the value in this contest, and it probably seems a strange tip considering how badly he has played over the last few months, but with Aspinall lacking match time, Chisnall can take advantage of that and get his season rolling with a victory here.
