Ricky Evans vs Man Lok Leung – Friday, December 12 from 7pm

This might be an important sport – tempo. I just like the look of this match, however these are the video games that Ricky has obtained to start out profitable.

He will get up for an enormous sport nevertheless it’s discovering that consistency. He does appear to search out his kind on the Worlds so I’m tipping Ricky to come back by this one.

Gian van Veen vs Cristo Reyes – Friday, December 12 from 7pm

I actually like this sport only for the story! Great to see Cristo again… I really like gamers who dig themselves out of holes and are available again.

Gian has by no means received a sport on the Ally Pally stage however I feel that modifications this yr and I feel he may have a deep run.

He’s received a serious now however it could be good to see him on the back-end of the Worlds.

Andrew Gilding vs Cam Crabtree – Saturday, December 13 from 12.30pm

Cameron was actually spectacular on the Grand Slam of Darts however I nonetheless assume Andrew can have a bit bit an excessive amount of.

It could be an ungainly contest however I do assume Gilding will come by this one.

Cameron Menzies vs Charlie Manby – Monday, December 15 from 12.30pm

Cameron has been missing a little bit of composure at occasions, whereas Charlie has obtained some massive averages and performed very well.

Cameron is an effective participant and though Charlie is an thrilling prospect and he is put in some large performances simply getting right here, I simply assume Menzies will discover a method. He may get by just a few rounds.

Menzies has grown as a participant this yr and I feel he’ll have a good match.

Dirk van Duijvenbode vs Andy Baetens – Monday, December 15 from 7pm

I actually like this sport! Belgian star Baetens is a high performer and certified for The Masters earlier this yr.

He has received the WDF World Championship in 2023, however I nonetheless do not assume we have seen sufficient of him on the large stage which is why I feel Dirk will cope with the menace, nevertheless it might be a exercise for him.

Connor Scutt vs Simon Whitlock – Monday, December 15 from 7pm

I’m so satisfied for Simon getting by – I feel all people was! It was becoming that he received the primary Australian Premier League regardless if he had not obtained a spot at Ally Pally. Great to see him again.

This might be tight however I feel Scutt can have barely an excessive amount of and win the sport however Whitlock is such a superb story.

Dave Chisnall vs Fallon Sherrock – Thursday, December 18 from 7pm

I do know Dave will not be taking part in effectively however I do not assume Fallon has pulled up any bushes this yr, both. She’s struggled away from the board and I feel Dave might be too good.

Everyone is highlighting him as a seed in hassle however I feel he’ll discover a well beyond Fallon.

Beau Greaves vs Daryl Gurney – Friday, December 19 from 7pm

This is the one everybody needed to keep away from… I feel Beau will beat him!

I do not assume Daryl will fancy the draw and I feel he is been quoted as saying he did not wish to play Beau like most of the seeds.

Daryl did effectively on the Players Championship however his darts weren’t touchdown fairly proper on the Grand Slam.
