Sebastian Bialecki vs Joe Hunt prediction

In a group containing Gerwyn Price, it is fair to say both Bialecki and Hunt are underdogs to progress from Group E, but Bialecki will be hoping to get a win on the board to put pressure on Price ahead of their meeting.

Price beat Hunt 5-3 on Saturday night in a fascinating match in which the Welshman was put under pressure throughout. Hunt averaged 96.61 and produced a 170 checkout as he fought back from 4-0 down to 4-3, before Price clinched the win.

Hunt played his best darts when the pressure was off, and if he is to trouble Bialecki, he is going to have to start much quicker. We expect him to do so, not least because he can hardly start any worse.

This is Bialecki’s first appearance at the Grand Slam of Darts, so he may feel the pressure to a degree, and this is arguably one of the more unpredictable matches of the evening session.

We can see a back-and-forth contest, and while we marginally favour Bialecki, Hunt will be a threat. After nailing his 170 and getting one of the biggest roars from the crowd all day on Saturday, do not rule out Hunt doing something similar here.
