1983 World Darts Champion Keith Deller MBE has assembled a 15/2 Bet Builder for the mouth-watering 2025 World Darts Championship semi-final between Stephen Bunting and Luke Littler.
Stephen Bunting v Luke Littler
Thursday 2nd January (21:30)
It's a matchup befitting of a final as Stephen Bunting takes on Luke Littler in a mammoth last four clash at the Alexandra Palace.
Bunting has been playing excellently all year and I think he's bound to feature in the Premier League now. He's in a confident place and his darts are consistently solid.
Littler is just phenomenal. We all know how brilliant this young lad is and there doesn't seem to be many weaknesses in his game at the moment.
However, if Bunting can come out and play at his peak, he's going to put Littler under pressure.
I fancy there to be at least 30 180s in this contest. Littler hits them for fun and though Bunting only chalked up two in his victory over Peter Wright, the Bullet is capable of adding to the overall tally when he's at the top of his game.
Guilty of making slow starts in the early stages of the tournament, Littler was explosive against Ryan Joyce and Nathan Aspinall and I'm siding with "The Nuke" to hit the first 180 and deliver the most maximums.
Where Bunting trails in the 180 department, he's atoned with his combination finishing and the Liverpudlian is capable of delivering the highest checkout, which completes my 15/2 Bet Builder.
It's going to be a breathtaking encounter but if I was to pick a winner, I'm taking Littler to book his place in the final on Friday and triumph 6-4, which is priced at 11/2 on bet365.
