Jermaine Wattimena vs Scott Williams prediction
Jermaine Wattimena came into Alexandra Palace in excellent form but was close to becoming a first-round casualty. However, at 2-1 down in sets the Dutchman raised his game to reel off six of the next seven legs to defeat plucky challenger Dominik Gruellich.
Another slow start could be his downfall here though, as Scott Williams produced one of the performances of the first round when he defeated Paolo Nebrida 3-0.
The 2024 semi-finalist averaged 99.25 and boasted a checkout percentage of 64.3% in a thoroughly impressive display to maintain his record of never having lost in the first round of the PDC World Darts Championship.
Both players can be prolific 180-hitters on their day, and with this match having the potential to go all the way, we think over 8.5 180s is worth looking at.
Jermaine Wattimena vs Scott Williams tip: Over 8.5 180s
