Ricky Evans vs Man Lok Leung prediction
Rapid Ricky Evans returns to Ally Pally and he will be hoping to get through a couple of rounds this year. The 35-year-old fans’ favourite has had some tough draws in recent years but he will be desperate to get a win under his belt here.
He has had a decent year so far with the highlight arguably being the quarter-final finish at the Grand Slam of Darts and he has shown he is more than capable of getting through multiple rounds.
He takes on Man Lok Leung who is Hong Kong’s top representative and is a PDC Asian Tour Qualifier. This is the second time he has made it to the big stage having upset Gian van Veen in 2024 before being eliminated by Gabriel Clemens.
His form in 2025 on the Asian Tour has been strong and the 26-year-old comes to Ally Pally with nothing to lose and nothing to fear.
He will have a real good go at Ricky Evans and push him hard but we ultimately expect Rapid to win. Our favoured play here however is on set betting and we expect over 3.5 sets in this one.
Ricky Evans vs Man Lok Leung tip: Over 3.5 sets
