World Grand Prix 2024 Darts Predictions and Betting Tips
The 2024 World Grand Prix Darts gets underway on Monday 7th, October as 32 of…
Week nine of the Premier League Darts served up some high-quality tungsten action with the best nightly average since Aberdeen five weeks ago. Here are our Premier League Darts week ten betting tips.
The story of the night was Michael van Gerwen’s thrilling 7-7 draw with Gerwyn Price after finding himself 1-5 down; the proverbial point won, rather than two points lost.
Elsewhere, hometown boy Daryl Gurney failed to really fire in Belfast as he was brushed aside by the rampant Rob Cross, while Mensur Suljovic and James Wade’s renewed hostilities resulted in an 8-6 victory for the Austrian.
Peter Wright and Michael Smith were also locked at 7-7 and could not be separated in a result that does neither of their chances of reaching the top four any good.
There are just six gameweeks left as the competitors jostle for the play-off places, starting with the tenth night of league action in Liverpool this Thursday.
Opening the show will be Peter Wright against table-topper Rob Cross.
With wife Jo recovering at home from surgery, Snakebite has been shorn of his trademark snake inking on the side of his head, and judging by his performances during her recuperation he has been bereft of something else too: two points won from three games with averages of 87, 87 and 90.
Assuming she recovers in time to attend on Thursday, you would assume there would be an improved performance from the noted emotional soul Wright, but will that be enough against a confident Cross who has eyes on winning the league phase of the competition?
The former world champion averaged 104.71 in his 8-4 triumph over Gurney in Northern Ireland – the second time in as many games he’s been the ‘away’ player, and back on home soil he will surely feel more comfortable.
Cross is available at a price of 5/6 with Ladbrokes, and that is fair enough given he has won six of his last seven Premier League outings. Wright, in danger of being cut adrift from the top four contenders, can be backed at 5/2 with Unibet.
