Michael van Gerwen v Noa-Lynn van Leuven tips, prediction & start time

Michael van Gerwen v Noa-Lynn van Leuven
Saturday 9th November (21:00)

Michael van Gerwen to win 5-0 @ 6/1
Michael van Gerwen - To Win Match, Most 180s & Highest Checkout @ 7/4

Michael van Gerwen will be desperate to lay down the marker in Wolverhampton and I just have a sneaky feeling that he will secure a whitewash win.

Noa-Lynn van Leuven has been superb on the women's tour this season, but there will be a different weight on her shoulders this time around given the fact that she will be playing in front of a large crowd and huge TV audience.

She could rise to the occasion and cause Michael a problem, but I think there is more probability of her buckling - and if Michael can get those first couple of legs on the board, then he could roar to victory.

I've spoken to him recently and know that he has been putting the hard yards in, and hitting massive three-dart averages.

This is the time of year that his game has got to start clicking back into gear, and make no mistake about it, he will be determined to set his stall out early doors in Wolverhampton.

I also like the near 2/1 price on offer for Van Gerwen to win the match, score the most 180s and land the highest checkout of the match too, so I will be taking that one as a side bet.
