PDC World Darts Championship: Day 11 Betting Tips - Afternoon Session

• Andrew Gilding To Win: 9/5 at AKBets
• Andrew Gilding Most 180s: 16/5 at Betfair

Nathan Aspinall continues his return from injury after a 3-1 second-round victory over the dangerous American, Leonard Gates.

‘The Asp’ looked as if he was still struggling slightly with his rhythm and that's something he really needs to eradicate in order to push on in this tournament.

He only averaged 88.03 but it was enough to get the job done and winning on TV again should do him the world of good. He played great in the Premier League earlier in the season and finished 5th, only just missing out on the Playoffs.

He definitely needs a good run here if he's to be selected for the Premier League again but I don't think that will play on his mind as he’s just trying to get his career back on track.

Aspinall made back-to-back Semi Finals in 2019 and 2020 at Ally Pally and he will need to draw on that experience to get past Gilding.

Andrew Gilding produced another solid performance in the first round, overcoming the recent Grand Slam Finalist Martin Lukeman 3-1.

He looked a little erratic early in the match but settled down and played really well in the last few sets. ‘Goldfinger’ hit six 180s and averaged 92.65 which is very similar to his seasonal average.

He had an impressive run to the Quarter Final of the World Matchplay earlier in the year and is a previous Major winner so has plenty of experience on the big stage.

He hasn't made it past the last 32 in 5 previous appearances at Ally Pally but has another opportunity here to break new ground.

The biggest issue that stands out for me in this match is Aspinall’s consistency. Since his injury and dartitis concerns, he just isn't quite as reliable at the moment so I think Gilding will be too consistent for him.

Gilding also hit six 180s in his first round including four in the last set, whilst Aspinall only had 3. Aspinall when he's on form is a prolific maximum hitter but right now I'm not so sure and the price on Gilding is way too big for me.
