Darts Betting Tips: Boosted double for Monday’s Worlds

Not quite sure what to expect from this one, Soutar definitely has significantly more experience on the big stage and has the more impressive stats over the past twelve months but he’s stuck in a bit of a rut lately. Since October, Soots has won just two of his last twelve matches, also failing to qualify for the likes of the European Championship and Grand Slam. So it’s very much up in the air as to how Alan is feeling about his game coming into this and what his preparation has been.

A big positive for Soutar is his record at Ally Pally - he didn’t manage to qualify last year but in his only other two appearances, the Scot has gone on brilliant runs to the last 16 on both occasions - some of his wins came against the likes of Daryl Gurney, Danny Noppert, Callan Rydz and Jose De Sousa. So something definitely seems to click for Soutar on that prestigious stage and he seems to be pretty settled in front of a big crowd in comparison to some others. However, it has to be said on the other two occasions he qualified he wasn’t in as poor form as this.

I caught the closing stages of the German Super League in which Gotthardt managed to close out victory in pretty dramatic style to book his spot at Ally Pally. It’s a league that consists of some of the best German players that haven’t already secured qualification, playing group stages then moving into a knockout stage. Gotthardt incredibly won all of his final four matches in deciding legs, showing some serious bottle. Interestingly, his best two averages of the week came in the semi final and final, which is definitely worth noting ahead of the biggest match of his career to date, perhaps he raises his game when the stakes are high.

This is obviously a different kettle of fish for Kai who has minimal big stage experience, a couple of appearances on the Euro Tour is the only comparison he has really. Soutar has to be favourite given he’s averaging almost five points more than Gotthardt for the year and Kai is a rookie on the big stage, but I’m not sure it’s going to be straightforward with his lack of form so I’m staying well away from the match winner market.

Again, I’m going to concentrate on 180s - 4+ sets looks a likely outcome in this one meaning plenty of legs. Neither of them are shy of hitting maximums - 0.18 per leg for Gotthardt and 0.30 per leg for Soutar are the yearly figures, meaning there’s a 48% chance of them hitting one between them in a leg. 16+ legs is extremely likely if we get four sets meaning eight 180s looks very doable. It’s a tricky one to call overall but even money for over 7.5 180s looks a little gem of a price.
