Michael van Gerwen takes on Brendan Dolan in the third round of the 2025 World Darts Championship and 1983 World Darts Champion Keith Deller MBE has assembled a 9/1 Bet Builder for the match.
Michael van Gerwen v Brendan Dolan
Saturday 28th December (20:30)
Brendan Dolan awaits Michael van Gerwen in the third round of the World Darts Championship and I think MVG will be pretty happy that some of the seeds have been eliminated in his half of the draw, especially Gary Anderson.
The last time these two met Dolan produced an almighty shock in the 2023 World Matchplay, but I don't see "The History Maker" repeating those heroics on Saturday.
I think Van Gerwen will win fairly comfortably, though I do think Dolan has enough in his locker to get two sets on the board, which is why over 5.5 sets features in my Bet Builder.
I'm expecting MVG to make a fast start, which is why I fancy him to take the first set, while I'm also backing the three-time world champion to top the charts for 180s and ton-plus checkouts in vintage Van Gerwen fashion.
