Sports Blog 20/07/2018: Darts Preview – PDC World Matchplay, Saturday 21st to Sunday 29th July 2018



Who will win the 2018 PDC World Matchplay, picking up the newly named Phil Taylor Trophy in the process?

It’s no surprise that World No. 1, and 2-time Matchplay champ, Michael van Gerwen is favourite in 2018, especially since the competition’s indefatigable all-timer Taylor has finally retired. Having won the Masters back in January, Mighty Mike has far and away the best Outright Index spread, at 42-45 where the winner gets 60 points and the runner-up 40 etc., and is odds on to make it a 3rd title at 4/7. He faces Jeffrey de Zwaan on Saturday, and sits at a 10-3 Supremacy spread of 23.5-26.5.

A fair whack behind van Gerwen is last year’s runner-up Peter Wright, who has an Outright Index spread of 19.5-22.5 alongside a fixed odds price of 15/2. He takes on Jelle Klassen in his opening fixture, and is at a 10-3 Supremacy spread of 15.5-18.5.

Then comes Robs Cross, at 18.5-21.5 and 8/1, with the Englishman currently 3rd on the PDC Order of Merit. Cross throws down with Mervyn King on Sunday, and is at a 10-3 Supremacy spread of 13.5-16.5.

Likely disappointed to be outside the Outright Index top 3 is Gary Anderson, who sits at a spread of 17.5-20.5. However, the Scottish ace has the 2nd best fixed odds price behind van Gerwen, at 6/1, thanks to his UK Open victory back in early March. Anderson starts his tournament on Sunday against Stephen Bunting, and is at a 10-3 Supremacy spread of 14.5-17.5.

Moving away from the 4 frontrunners and the Outright Index spreads take another drop. Mensur Suljovic is at 10.5-13.5, while James Wade – who won back in 2007 – is at 8-10 and Michael Smith is at 7-9. Then there’s Daryl Gurney at 6.5-8.5, Simon Whitlock and Ian White at 5.5-7.5 and Raymond van Barneveld and Adrian Lewis at 5-7.
