PDC Premier League Week 2

Posted: 17.02.11 in Anthony Urmston-Toft Blog category

The "mystery tipster" returns with his thoughts on week two of the Premier League.

This week, we’re in Nottingham for week 2, the games for tonight are

Simon Whitlock v Raymond van Barneveld
James Wade v Adrian Lewis
Phil Taylor v Mark Webster
Terry Jenkins v Gary Anderson

Match 1

Simon vs Barney

Last week saw both players losing despite  great efforts, will a lack of confidence be an issue tonight? Both may feel a bit of pressure as they attempt to get their first points up on the board. I’m predicting a win for the Wizard here, his finishing will come good here and will prove too much for Ray. 8-5

Match 2

James vs Adrian

What a performance by Adrian last week, his power scoring was immense. After a few dodgy darts for doubles early on he got into the groove and romped away with the win. Expect more of the same here too. Wade is getting better, but man of the moment will win this 8-4

Match 3

Phil Taylor V Mark Webster

“The Power” to bite back or to get tangled  in a “Webby” of doubt?

All the headlines from last week focused on the size of defeat of “The Power”. Most pundits in the darting circles are eyeing this one as The Taylor Bounce back show and Mark simply just showing up. Well my view is that Mark is under-rated, he is one of the best throwers in the game- he has  an action that is simple and deadly. My opinion is that Taylor may struggle again here and Mark will win 8-5. Don’t be shocked by this, we have the stats to back it!

Match 4

Anderson vs Jenkins

180’s to fly here by the two big scorers in this one, last week saw 11 of them between the two of them, so more of the same in the final game of the evening. I’m a huge fan of Gary. Again watch the action. I’ll give the nod to Anderson with momentum on his side from last week 8-6.

Forecast of:

Number of 180`s: 10

My Tips are:

Double Top – Whitlock and Anderson 

Double One – Webster
