Very little top level football for us so we head to Belfast and some darts with the Premier League. This is week 9 and there are some great match ups today. The draw is loaded at the top half with Humpries, Littler and these two all in the same section. Game two is where we head for our tip.
Smith sits 4 in the Premier League table, he has one win and 13 points in total. Van Gerwen sits 2nd with 3 wins so far and 15 points. These games are best of 11 legs, in knockout format of last 8 to semi to final.
Head-to-head statistics: 20 games – 8 wins Michael Smith and 12 wins Michael van Gerwen.
Betting selection – Van Gerwen’s form seems to have dipped slightly and Smith is a good bet to force the upset – we can get 2.38 for Michael Smith to win but I would rather the extra insurance of the handicap and Michael Smith +1.5 legs is the bet at 4-5 or 1.80 with 10bet
