PL Darts Trader’s Tips: Cross to edge Gurney in Belfast tussle?

CN: Michael Smith and Peter Wright have both disappointed to a large extent in the Premier League. Is this a winner-takes-all-clash in the race for Finals Night?

AV: It looks that way, especially for Smith who must be bitterly disappointed with his PL campaign off the back of his exploits at the Worlds.

Wright was so bad in the Dutch double header last week and I can’t see him playing like that again. It wouldn’t surprise me if this ended all square. [A 7-7 Draw is 10/3]

CN: Rob Cross demolished Daryl Gurney 7-1 in Exeter. The Northern Irishman is in decent form now, though, and has the backing of a home crowd. Could he pull off a mini-shock?

AV: Possibly. Gurney won the most recent Euro Tour event beating Cross en-route and has enjoyed a lot of success in the PL of late. Cross, however, has been pretty rock solid this season and with the new extended format I fancy him to edge a tight contest. [Cross is 10/11 to win]

CN: Then it’s down to MVG and Gerwyn Price. The Green Machine breezed past the Welshman last time. How much does Price need to up his game for this one?

AV: I’m not normally one to over obsess with head-to-head form but MVG boasts a 15-0 record over Price. Price did miss a match dart in their recent Euro Tour clash but I just don’t seem him living with van Gerwen in Belfast. [Van Gerwen -3.5 is 5/6]

CN: Finally can you give us your three best bets once again for tonight’s action?

AV: Wade to beat Suljovic @ 11/10

Wade to hit the most 180s v Suljovic @ 11/10

Price to hit the most 180s v van Gerwen @ 13/8
