Gary Anderson - To Win Match & Most 100+ Checkouts @ 13/4
Over 8.5 Legs @ 5/2

What a cracking opening group stage match this is!

Gary Anderson has arguably been the best floor player over the past six or seven months, whilst Ryan Joyce is one of the most underrated players on the tour.

Gary is the strong favourite to get the two points in this match, but I have a feeling that it's going to go incredibly close.

Ryan isn't afraid of anybody, he just play his game and plays his game exceptionally well.

For me, this has the makings of a game that will go right down to a deciding leg, so the value play is 'Over 8.5 Legs' in the match.

Gary is my bet to come through victorious and as I side bet, I really like the price of an Anderson victory and for the Scotsman to land the most 100+ checkouts too.

He is exceptional on those combination finishes, he sets so many of those up for himself, and I fully expect him to take one or two out over the course of the match.
