Madars Razma is looking to make the second round of the Worlds for the third consecutive year as he takes on Christian Kist on Wednesday night.

Razma loves the treble 19 and he really hits it well; he's one of the best in the world at it. Former Lakeside champion Kist is a really solid player and given Razma's tendency to switch to the 19, I'm siding with the Dutch dartist to hit more 180s, which is priced at 1/2.

For the same reason I've gone for under 5.5 total 180s in the match. That could hinge on whether we see five sets in the match, though Razma's preference for the 19 will keep the number of maximums to a minimal.

The Latvian is also a really good finisher and I'm backing him to have the highest checkout at 4/5. Any shots around the 120 mark, he's capable of executing.

I think it will go close but I'm taking Razma to edge through.
