| Player | Spread | Odds To Win |
|---|---|---|
| Michael van Gerwen | -2.5 (+135) | -500 |
| James Hurrell | +2.5 (-175) | +375 |
Van Gerwen has +135 odds to cover the spread, so darts sportsbooks are giving credit to his opponent James Hurrell. Hurrell defeated Jim Long 3-0 in their last 96 match and is the No. 89 ranked player in his first year on the professional circuit.

Meikle barely made it into the last 64 after winning 3-2 in his first match against Fallon Sherrock. He’s a solid player, ranked 62nd in the world, but simply gets a bad draw here against the No. 4 ranked Luke Littler.
