Luke Littler vs Krzysztof Ratajski prediction
A fired up Luke Littler produced a statement win in the fourth round, averaging 106.58 in his 4-2 victory over former world champion Rob Cross.
The reigning world champion was clearly impacted by some booing from the Ally Pally crowd, but that only seemed to spur him on to greater heights as he crashed in 17 180s against 'Voltage'.
Krzysztof Ratajski often saves some of his best darts for the big tournaments and reached a second PDC World Darts Championship quarter-final courtesy of a 4-2 triumph over Luke Woodhouse in the last 16.
'The Polish Eagle' has been typically clinical on his doubles and has hovered around the 95-100 average for the duration of the tournament.
Littler may have won all four previous meetings between the two players, but he was pushed close by the Pole in the sixth round of this year's UK Open, with the youngster clinching a 10-8 win on his way to the title.
However, Littler simply has an extra gear that he has found that in his last two matches. If he continues in the same vein, then Ratajski won't be able to live with him. On the 180s front, Littler has been phenomenal and we expect him to cover a significant handicap in that department.
Luke Littler vs Krzysztof Ratajski tip: Luke Littler to hit the most 180s with -7.5 handicap
