Justin Hood vs Ryan Meikle prediction
Justin Hood was involved in arguably the match of the tournament so far in the second round, defeating sixth seed Danny Noppert in a sudden-death leg in the deciding set.
Hood crashed in 11 180s and averaged 103.01 in a pulsating contest that Noppert played his part in, and the Ally Pally debutant now has to deal with the pressure of being a favourite in his third-round contest.
His opponent is Ryan Meikle, who finds himself in the third round of the PDC World Darts Championship for the first time in his career.
The Suffolk thrower recovered from losing the first two sets against New Zealand's Jonny Tata to win 3-2 in the second round, but having averaged under 90 in both of his wins so far in the tournament, you have to feel he needs to raise his game by at least ten points to compete with Hood.
Hood is relishing his moment and is finding his mark time and time again. He looks the clear favourite here.
