Cameron Menzies vs Raymond Smith prediction

Despite losing his opening match on Saturday lunchtime, Raymond Smith will have taken plenty of positives from his 5-4 defeat to world number nine Stephen Bunting.

Smith raced into a 2-0 lead before falling 4-2 behind against the heavily favoured Bunting. He responded impressively to claw it back to 4-4 and had the throw in the final leg, but it was Bunting who broke to edge the decider.

That was arguably the highest-quality match of the Saturday afternoon session, and Smith will take plenty of encouragement from it, along with his 96.65 average. He will be hoping to carry that form into this match against Scotland’s Cameron Menzies.

Menzies, the world number 26, has been in solid form in recent weeks, and it will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running. In fact, having already played on Saturday could prepare Smith better to start fast, which is all-important in these best-of-nine-leg matches, and so much depends on how quickly Menzies can settle.

There is a lot to like about Smith coming into this one, and having lost on Saturday by only a single leg, a win here would put him in with a good shot of progressing.

Menzies should be competitive and will be favoured to get the win, but we think this will be a really close encounter. There could be value in backing Smith, but our preferred play is on the legs market.
