18:20 Stephen Bunting vs Ryusei Azemoto
Stephen Bunting
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-833
Open

Pretty pointless odds to be backing this but either way I see this being a storming victory for the Bullet. If he averages 93 or more, he should be winning this by 4 sets or more.
Stephen Bunting -3.50

Ryusei Azemoto hasn't had the best couple of years, not managing to record an average over 88 in recently recorded games. If he plays that way tonight, Stephen Bunting should take him to town.

Can't see Ryusei Azemoto getting three legs on the board today, looking at his form over the last year or so. Backing Stephen Bunting to win fairly comfortably this evening in Bahrain.
18:00 Michael van Gerwen vs Alexis Toylo
Alexis Toylo 3.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@-133
Open
0
Despite losing 3-0 to Ratajski in the opening round of the most recent World Championship, Alexis Toylo put up a decent fight, averaging over 90 across the game. Up against MVG in the opening round in Bahrain tonight, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Filipino get at least three legs on the board.

MVG made it to the fourth round of the recent World Championship, but he is definitely not the force he once was. Up against Alexis Toylo today, I think Mighty Mike will win but not by a walkover.
17:40 Luke Littler vs Paul Lim
Paul Lim 4.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@+110
Open
0
The game tonight will arguably draw the most attention. The much-loved Paul Lim fell to Luke Humphries in the World Championship, but not until after beating Jeffrey de Graaf in the opening round. The Singapore Slinger has arguably the toughest game possible against back-to-back World Champion Luke Littler, but I'm backing the veteran to get at least two legs on the board.
Over 7.50

Recent back-to-back World Champion Luke Littler was essentially faultless in taking home his most recent crown. But I think this is great odds on veteran Paul Lim getting at least two legs on the board today. Known for not practising a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nuke hasn't thrown a dart since his win on the Ally Pally stage.
17:20 Luke Humphries vs Abdulla Saeed
Luke Humphries
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-10000
Open
0
In a repeat of 2024 and 2025, Luke Humphries and Abdulla Saeed once again meet in the first round of the Bahrain Darts Masters. On both occasions, Cool Hand has won 6-0, and I don't see this one going any differently.
17:00 Nathan Aspinall vs Lourence Ilagan
Nathan Aspinall
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-454
Open

Lourence Ilagan has shown a decent fight over the last couple of years on the PDC circuit, but after losing nine straight games, I can't see him beating Nathan Aspinall today.
Lourence Ilagan 3.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@-227
Open
0
Nathan Aspinall and Lourence Ilagan face off again today in a repeat of last year's first-round BDM match and the first round of the most recent World Darts Championship. On both occasions Aspinall got the win, but it went to a last-leg decider in Bahrain last year, and Ilagan got a set on the board in the WDC. Backing Ilagan to get at least three legs on the board today.
Over 8.50
Total Legs
50 WIN
@-161
Open
0
Backing 8 or more legs today. Despite losing his last nine games on the PDC circuit, Lourence Ilagan has always put up a fight and has only gone down by whitewash in two of those games (which were set play). In a first-to-6 leg game, the Filipino is well worth three legs.
16:40 Danny Noppert vs Basem Mahmood
Danny Noppert
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-10000
Win
0
Very little to go on in terms of Basem Mahmood's form, but in his last ten games he has failed to record an average of 80 or over. It should be a walkover for Danny Noppert, who is one of the most consistent players on tour.
16:20 Gian van Veen vs Man Lok Leung
Gian van Veen
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-588
Win

These two faced off in the 2024 PDC World Championship, where Man Lok Leung stunned Gian van Veen to hand him a first-round defeat. I'm backing the recent World Championship runner-up to get his revenge today, but I don't see it being a walkover.
Man Lok Leung 3.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@-166

I don't see Gian van Veen running away with this today. No doubting the World Championship runner-up is in decent form, but Man Lok Leung is a good enough player to hold his throw and potentially break the Dutchman.

Man Lok Leung got the win over Gian van Veen in their only other face-off, but that did come a couple of years ago. The Dutchman has only gone from strength to strength. That being said, I can see the man from Hong Kong getting at least three legs on the board today.
16:00 Gerwyn Price vs Motomu Sakai
Gerwyn Price
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-769

Expecting a pretty routine win from Gerwyn Price today. The Welshman will be looking to come back firing after a poor outing at last month's Worlds, and Bahrain is a great opportunity to do just that.

Expecting a professional display from Gerwyn Price today. Even in losing to Plaisier in straight sets in last month's World Championship, the Welshman still averaged 95.83, which should be too much for Motomu Sakai.

Gerwyn Price always seems to come alive in World Series events where there is far less pressure on the Welshman. Motomu Sakai had a decent first outing at the World Championships, but I don't see him getting two legs off the former World Champion today.

Backing the Strikers today. They look to have a very well-rounded side and possess three or four match winners who can take a game away on their own.

Jamie Overton has been having a particularly good season with both bat and ball for the Strikers this season. I'm playing the odds a bit today and backing the Englishman to nail one of his skills.

Rehan Ahmed is slated to come in at three today for the Hurricanes. The Englishman has shown glimpses of promise this Big Bash, but I think today could be a bit of a breakout.

Jason Sangha has had a modest season, but all accounts say that after scoring 31 in the Strikers' last game and being slated to bat at 4, 6/1 looks like decent odds for him to top score for his side today.

Nathan Aspinall is going to be my each-way selection during this year's World Championships. He has had a decent couple of months, winning the European Championship in October and reaching multiple finals this season, including the US Darts Masters (albeit not ranking) and, most recently, the Players Championship Finals where he lost out to Luke Littler. He is in bracket 3 with Luke Humphries and Gian van Veen, who will provide stern tests but not ones he can't overcome, having beaten both multiple times this year.

Stephen Bunting
50 WIN
@+4000
Lose
-50
Could be foolish, but Stephen Bunting will be my pick for the 2026 World Darts Championship. The Bullet has had a tough couple of months leading into this event, but I am basing this pick on Bunting's overall season, which has been exemplary. Bunting followed up his semi-final loss in last year's World Champs with a win in Bahrain in the World Series. He also won in Copenhagen in June. On the Pro Tour, Bunting won Players Championship 18 and 25 and reached multiple finals. In European events, Bunting won the International Darts Open in April and was also victorious in the Swiss Darts Trophy in September. The sum of these results leads me to believe he can make a solid run in this year's World Championship. Despite being in Littler's bracket, I don't put it past him to beat the young star, whom he has already bettered on three occasions this year.

Man Lok Leung +1.5 is too good to turn down at these odds. He got the win over Van Veen at last year's tournament and has always performed well in the Bahrain Masters, facing tough opponents in the last two editions (Humphries and Littler).

Could even see this one going to a fifth and final set, so I will snap the handicap off for an over 3.5. Ricky performed well at last month's Grand Slam, eventually losing out to Price in the quarterfinals. However, Man Lok Leung has performed admirably in all four of his televised appearances across the last two seasons. Can see this one being close.

Backing a 3-2 win for Man Lok Leung. Won by the same margin over Gian van Veen at last year's World Championships, and I think the man from Hong Kong could get a surprise win over a rapid Ricky Evans tonight, who sometimes starts slow.

This is a game that screams over on the maximums. Man Lok Leung's data is not the easiest to base a whole lot on, but with the games available (two Bahrain Darts Masters appearances and two appearances in last year's World Championship), the man from Hong Kong has hit 20 maximums across four televised appearances. Ricky's maximum record speaks for itself.
19:00 Ross Smith vs Andreas Harrysson
Ross Smith
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-400

Backing Ross Smith this evening, but I don't think it will be as simple as 3-0. Andreas Harrysson has become known as one of the better players on the Development Tour, and I don't think he will let the bright lights of the Ally Pally get to him.
Andreas Harrysson 2.50

Wouldn't put it past Andreas Harrysson getting a set on the board in this one. The Swede has had some decent wins over top opponents this season on the Pro Tour, including Van den Bergh, Doets, and Gilding. I think he has what it takes to take at least a set off Ross Smith.

Going over on the sets. As previously mentioned, Andreas Harrysson is a decent opponent for Ross Smith and not someone it will be easy to run through. No head-to-head data to go off of, but both seem to be playing okay darts over the last few months.

Going to back 3-1 Ross Smith. He lost in the second round of last month's Players Championship Finals, but it was to eventual winner Luke Littler, and he was playing some nice darts despite the loss. I would be tempted by a whitewash, but I think Harrysson has shown on the Development Tour over the last few seasons that he is not a player to go down without a fight.

This one should really be Ross Smith's. When in his game, Ross is able to hit 5??"6 maximums on his own in first-to-6-leg games. This is clearly a first-round, first-to-three-sets match.

Could be foolish, but I'm going to back over 8.50 180s. Both these players are strong maximum hitters. On his day, Ross Smith is able to hit 6 or 7 on his own.

Backing this to be the big shock of the World Championship so far. To say Rob Cross is in poor form is an understatement, having lost his last six games. Cor Dekker showed in the most recent Euro Tour event that he is a serious player, making it all the way to the semi-final.
Cor Dekker 1.50

Seeing as I'm backing Cor Dekker to win this game, it only makes sense that I'd back him with a set-and-a-half head start. He showed on the Euro Tour this year what he is made of.

Could really come down to who wins throw. Based on how Rob Cross has been playing recently, I wouldn't be surprised if the former world champion hits closest to the bull but still loses the first set.

Was very tempted by the 3-0 Cor Dekker at 12, but I'll settle with 8.50 and 3-1. Despite losing his last few games, the Norwegian is arguably in better form than Rob Cross, and I think he will give the former world champion a tough match today.
Cor Dekker

The draw is enticing, but I'll back Cor Dekker for the most maximums in this matchup. The Norwegian showed in the most recent Euro Tour event that he is more than capable of hitting 3+ in a first-to-6 leg match, and Rob Cross is known for switching to the D18s a lot.

Quite surprised to even be getting this high of odds for Ryan Searle to hit the most maximums today. 'Heavy Metal' has been a heavy scorer on tour over the last few seasons. That is not synonymous with his opponent Chris Landman. In his two Euro Tour matches in September, Landman failed to hit a single maximum across his two matches. Searle, on the other hand, hit eight across his three.

Don't think many are expecting many maximums in this one. Neither of these players is in particularly good form, with a plethora of low averages when looking across their most recent games. I expect both players to average in the low 80s, and I'd be very surprised if there are seven or more maximums across the game.

Can't see this being a straight-sets game. Barring their most recent meeting, these two have played a number of close games this season, with two of the three going to a last-leg decider. With that in mind, a 3-0 victory either way would be a bit of a surprise.

Expecting this game to yield a fair few maximums. In both his German Darts Championship games this season Niels Zonneveld hit 3 maximums, and Haupai Puha hit 7 across his 3 World Series matches. Considering all those matches were first to 6 legs, a best-of-3-set match should feature more than 7 180s.
