Bulls Mike de Decker Steel Dart

Product Information

There he's joined by Michael van Gerwen but only just, after the Dutchman was pushed all the way in a 6-5 victory over Matt Campbell, who missed two darts for the match.

If he's around that level again then Danny Jansen will struggle to even win a set, especially when you bare in mind the debutant averaged just 83.42 in a hard-fought win over Paulo Nebrida - but that was some way short of his best. The 43-year-old looks set be the top seed at October’s European Championship in Dortmund, as he continues his bid for an elusive televised title over the coming months. However, I just question his mental endurance over long format matches because he hasn't had a big run on TV since reaching the 2022 World Championship semi-finals - and even that was a bolt from the blue after a quiet year.

This could be a real gritty game in which I slightly favour Campbell. Neither are notorious 180 hitters though and from a betting angle that’s something worth noting. Baggish enjoyed a run to the third round in this event in 2021 defeating Damon Heta and Adrian Lewis before finding Glen Durrant too good, so we know the Ally Pally stage holds no fear for him.

While the Main Stage action begins at 1145 GMT, Friday's play begins at 1100 GMT on Stages Two-Eight. The Belgian came through three deciding-leg ties in his opening four matches, edging out second seed Luke Humphries after dispatching Luc Peters with a ton-topping average. The 2015 and 2016 champion does tend to save his best for the Ally Pally and hasn't bowed out earlier than the fourth round since before he lifted his first of two titles, while his seasonal average of 95.70 is still significantly higher than Madars Razma, who managed a shade under 90 during his hard-fought victory over Prakash Jiwa that featured just a single 180. Chisnall, who also beat Humphries in all four of the finals he's won this year, averaged over 100 across his seven matches that day and a shade under three figures across his five in Hungary. In the second half of the season, his average of 97.3 is in the top four overall. Van Gerwen averaged 101 in his opening round tie against Boris Krcmar, but he was edged out in a deciding-leg by the Croatian, while Jonny Clayton and Gary Anderson also suffered first round exits.Cross continued to outscore the young Belgian and that was soon reflected in the scoreline, with the former World Champion seizing control with a three-leg burst of 14, 13 and 14 darts.
