Krzysztof Ratajski vs Luke Woodhouse prediction

Luke Woodhouse was underwhelming, to say the least, in Saturday’s opening match, as the world number 17 was beaten 5-3 by Tom Sykes.

In a relatively low-quality game, Woodhouse could only muster an average of 89.56. That was more than his opponent managed, yet he still contrived to lose, and he now needs to win this match to have any chance of progressing.

That will not be easy against world number 19 Krzysztof Ratajski. The Pole’s recent form has been pretty average, much like Woodhouse’s, in the tournaments leading up to this one, but it is Ratajski who has dominated the head-to-head, winning five of their seven meetings.

That said, it was Woodhouse who won their only encounter this year, 6-1 in May. They also met at the PDC World Championship at the end of December, when it was Ratajski who came out on top with the stakes at their highest.

Woodhouse is going to have to improve significantly on Saturday’s miserable performance, and so much depends on the form Ratajski brings into this one. Both players know there is little margin for error, and this really is a match that could go either way.

We expect a very close contest that could go all the way, so consider the legs market.
