THE PREDICTION

Seemingly out of nowhere, Michael van Gerwen produced the highest average (109.96) of this season’s Premier League in impressively beating Dimitri Van den Bergh last night and, while that is bound to have given the Dutchman a spring in his step after what has been a stop-start campaign so far, the true test will be whether he can back that up tonight against the impressive Jonny Clayton. While it is tempting to back MVG to put in another eye-catching display, he hasn’t shown enough consistency in recent times while Clayton, the only player who currently averages over 100 for the tournament, has done. The Welshman was relentless last night against James Wade and backing him in the Draw no Bet market is the suggestion here.
