Gian van Veen vs Ryan Searle prediction
Gian van Veen defeated Dirk van Duijvenbode for the second televised tournament in a row, finding 80% of his starting doubles in his 2-0 victory over his fellow Dutchman.
Ryan Searle, meanwhile, repeated his World Matchplay victory over William O'Connor in the first round, but had to rely on his luck as his Irish opponent missed four match darts during the contest.
Van Veen has had a difficult year with health issues impacting him a fair amount, but there are signs that his best game is returning to him. That spells bad news for Searle, with the Dutchman getting the nod here.
