James Hubbard’s Betting Tips for the Bahrain Masters (Finals Day)
The £100,000 tournament concludes today at The Dome, as we look towards finals day at the Bahrain Masters. Tonight, we will crown a winner of the first World Series event of the season. The quarterfinals, semi-finals, and final will all be played this evening, so the survival of the fittest will be on the agenda today.
Seven PDC stars survived the first round with just Rob Cross succumbing 6-3 to the in-form Paolo Nebrida in the first match of last night's session. Chris Dobey and Luke Humphries both hit 4 180s each and whitewashed their opponents 6-0 in the first round. Gerwyn Price, Luke Littler, and Peter Wright all came through tricky ties 6-3 whilst Stephen Bunting and Nathan Aspinall both won 6-2 to progress into tonight's Quarter Finals.
The World Number 1, Luke Humphries had the performance of the first round with an effortless 103.66 average. All of the other PDC winners had 90+ averages and looked solid so we could be in for a very entertaining marathon session of darts in Bahrain.
James Hubbard's Bahrain Masters (Finals Day) Betting Tips
Luke Humphries vs Nathan Aspinall
- 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.

Tournament Winner
- 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.
