World Matchplay Darts, round 1 Sunday second session: Anderson on the attack

Blackpool is once again being lit up by the World Matchplay Darts and, as the thrilling first round draw continues with Sunday’s second session, there are more great darting duels on hand to enthrall audiences, featuring former winner James Wade and holder of Premier League and World Championship titles Gary Anderson.

Four further cracking clashes await, who are the best prices?

Dolan (evens for victory) is currently seven spots ahead of his competitor as he sits 11th in the PDC world rankings, yet the Norther Irishman has come unstuck against the Dutch Destroyer in all of their past three tussles, and has won just four of their 10 previous meetings overall. The last tie between these two ended a tight 5-6 in Van der Voort’s favour, so back him at 15/2 for an 8-10 triumph here.

Now the pair meet on the World Matchplay stage for the first time and, as the Bull has twice been a runner-up in this tournament, Serbian-born Suljovic is an outsider at 11/8 with his best finish so far the last 32.

The tongue-in-cheek nicknamed Bronzed Adonis has shown the ability to upset Anderson before but, despite being priced at excellent odds of 6/1, should fall to the Flying Scotsman (11/2 to win 10-4), who is in formidable form and has beaten Beaton in nine of 14 scraps.
