Great Scot! Gary to pull off an upset

Competition favourite Michael van Gerwen faces Gary Anderson in the first semi-final, and many followers of the sport believe the winner of this match will go on to lift the title outright. That remains to be seen, but Coral traders have Mighty priced as a 4/7 nailed down jolly to bank the prize money, against Anderson’s 5/1.

It’s little surprise, with that in mind, to see van Gerwen a dominant favourite to beat Anderson in game one, 3/10 the current offer, but we are going to take that on with Anderson’s chunky 5/2. The Scot finished fourth in the Premier League table, losing 7-4 to the Dutchman in Aberdeen, but that match didn’t count for too much on the night, and we expect to see a different animal here.

We’ve watched the fav play some very shaky darts in recent weeks, when under pressure too, but one thing you’ll get with Anderson is a consistent player who has no problem getting himself motivated for the big nights. He loves the game, and I make this a lot closer than the betting does. Therefore, Anderson is the value play to win the match at 5/2.
