Gian van Veen vs Gary Anderson prediction
Gian van Veen stormed into the semi-finals with an imperious display against former world champion Luke Humphries.
Becoming the Dutch number one as a result, the European champion averaged 105.41 in his stunning 5-1 victory over the world number two, underlining his world title credentials.
Although not quite as emphatic, Gary Anderson was himself a comfortable quarter-final victor, defeating surprise package Justin Hood 5-2 with the aid of a 99.44 average.
The 2015 and 2016 champion is in the last four at Ally Pally for the first time since 2022, and is averaging around the 100-mark for the tournament.
Van Veen has hit greater heights than Anderson in this event and you have to feel the outcome of this match is in his hands. Nerves could be a factor in his first world semi-final, but he has looked comfortable on stage so far and we are backing him to advance in a match that will surely be littered with quality.
