Gerwyn Price v Michael Smith betting prediction, tips & start time

Gerwyn Price v Michael Smith (20:15)

Gerwyn Price - Over 3.5 180s @ 5/4
Over 6.5 180s in the Match @ 5/6

Gerwyn Price will be getting hugely frustrated by his inability to turn good performances into positive results.

Yes, he got to the final last week, which will have done him the world of good, but he needs to start doing that on a more frequent basis if he is to edge himself into top four contention.

He's played pretty well in most of his matches to date, but he has just been let down by his finishing, and there's every chance that proves to be the case against Michael Smith this week.

Can he get over the winning line? I'm not sure, but I do expect the game to be close, and if it is close then I feel all of the value in this match is within the 180 markets.

Both players are big scorers, so we can expect the 180s to be raining in, and seven or more, in total, at 5/6 looks a solid enough bet to me.

I also feel that the 5/4 on offer for 'Gezzy' to notch four or more of his own looks good too, especially knowing how well he groups his darts.
