James Hubbard’s Betting Tips for the Bahrain Masters (Finals Day)

• Luke Humphries Most 180s: 10/11 at SpreadEX
• Under 8.5 Legs: 13/8 at LiveScorebet

Luke Humphries looks to have quickly put his disappointing World Championship campaign behind him as he was extremely impressive in his opening-round victory last night. Humphries averaged 103.66 and hit four maximums in a 6-0 defeat of an under-par Abdulla Saeed.

In truth, Saeed never looked like troubling him and that's now back-to-back 6-0 defeats to the Englishman on that stage. I can see 'Cool Hand' wanting to make a statement in Bahrain and show everyone that his World Championship campaign was just a blip.

Nathan Aspinall came through a tricky test in the first round 6-2 against Xiaochen Zong. I tipped him to lose that match but he surprised me with an excellent performance averaging 95.42 and a 55% checkout rate. He looked pretty comfortable and that's extremely positive for 'The Asp' going forward.

I still have my doubts about Nathan Aspinall's form, even after a solid first-round performance. This is a much bigger test tonight against the World Number 1 and I fear he may get blown away. Humphries looked back to his brilliant best and I can't see past him in this one, and I think it could be a fairly comfortable victory.

• Over 9.5 legs: 11/10 at Ladbrokes
• Gerwyn Price to win: 13/5 at SpreadEX

Luke Littler looked slightly off in his first-round victory, but I think we can forgive him after recently becoming the World Champion. He was also using a brand new set of darts after framing the set he lifted the Sid Waddell trophy with. Just from personal experience of trying to break in a new set of darts, it's never easy and can sometimes create a little doubt in your mind until you feel comfortable again.

'The Nuke' still did well to come through a potential banana skin with Lourence Illagan though and averaged 94.36. That's his lowest average on TV for some time and he will need to improve on that if he's to defend his Bahrain Masters title.

Similarly to Littler, Gerwyn Price was also trying out new equipment and played with a longer point in his darts for the first time. He said himself they felt good but were landing awkwardly in the board which is never a great sign for a pro dart player. The Welshman is going back to his previous points this evening though so should feel much more comfortable.

'The Iceman' beat the impressive Lok Yin Lee 6-3 with a 92.68 average and hit 5 180s. He won't be very happy with that performance but will be pleased his scoring is still solid.

This is the first time these two have met since last year's World Series event in Australia which is very surprising considering how many times they play in the same tournament. Personally, I think Price is very close to being back to his best and will be up for it tonight.

Beating Littler would send a big statement out to the field and it wouldn't surprise me if he did so especially as he's gone back to his original setup. Littler for me just doesn't look overly comfortable and if he doesn't sharpen up and get used to these darts quickly then I can see Price taking advantage, but it should be a close contest.

• Luke Humphries to win the tournament: 14/5 at SpreadEX

Luke Humphries to go all the way and win tonight just looks far too big for me. He looked in great form last night and averaged 103.66 in a 6-0 win. The way he seemed, suggests to me that he's looking to get a tournament under his belt quickly and dominate once again.

He will play either Bunting or Dobey in the Semi-final so would avoid Luke Littler until the final if he was to get through. I think Humphries really fancies this and wants to get one over everyone and prove that he is still the best player in the world.
