Chris Dobey Current Form – LLLWL
Chris Dobey doesn’t come into this match with too many people believing that he can come away with something to show for his participation – but that certainly won’t phase the Englishman. Our concern with Dobey though is the way in which he has started the year. At this point he has only won one match…
Bowing out of the World Championships at the final four stage, he managed to find a win in the first round of the Bahrain Masters before being defeated by Bunting, Raymond van Barneveld and Ryan Searle.
Dobey will know that he needs to be aggressive here if he has any hopes of success. He faces an opponent who knows him well and will come into the encounter expecting to win.
Chris Dobey News
Seemingly in response to the ascertions that he has only been included in the Premier League thanks to his walk-on song – Dobey has assured his fans, via social, that he intends to set the record straight!
Gerwyn Price Current Form – LWLWW
Gerwyn Price is the current ruling favourite to win this encounter. Now, considering he has won 12 of the last 13 encounters with Dobey – it doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
Price is a player who will want to attack aggressively and won’t be shy to take a few risks. The Welshman will be up for this and if the game becomes frenetic, we think it suits him even more.
Gerwyn Price News
Not too far behind his opponent, Price has also reminded fellow stars who didn’t make the Premier League to cut to simply try harder next time! Another controversial inclusion after his 2024 season, Price will no doubt be looking to put his best foot forward here.
Suggested Bets
These are our suggested bets for this darts encounter!
Match Winner: No, it won’t be the most exciting prediction, but we are on the Welshman coming away with victory here. 4/6 (1.67) with 1xBet and Betway.
Gerwyn Price Win 4-6 (Correct Score): It is the sort of prediction which is as aggressive as Price is likely to be! 3/1 (4.0) with 1xBet.
Gerwyn Price (More 180s than Dobey): A safer option for punter, but one that still yields incredible value. 8/10 (1.8) with 1xBet and Stake.
Value Bets
Highest Checkout (Price): No risk, no reward and all that! Back Price to find the highest checkout 14/25 (1.56) with Pinnacle.
Over/Under (Over 5.5 Legs): The margin for error in these games is so small. We still think the game is going to be close and so over 5.5 legs become a real player. 7/10 (1.7) with Betway.
Chris Dobey (+2.5) Set Handicap: No, we don’t think he wins the game. However, we think he will be within touching distance and so a +2.5 handicap gets him over the line! 63/50 (2.26) with 1xBet and Stake
