Friday night sees Ross Smith and former world champion Gerwyn Price go head-to-head for a place in the World Matchplay semi-finals and our resident darts expert Keith Deller has provided an enticing Bet Builder.
The winner of the televised encounter will earn a spot in the last four against either Gian van Veen or James Wade, with confirmation of the other semi-final clash coming last night when Luke Littler and Dirk van Duijvenbode made winning visits to the oche.
2022 World Matchplay runner-up Price arrives here following wins over Martin Schindler and Rob Cross.
Check out Deller's 13/2 Bet Builder for the eagerly anticipated quarter-final contest between Smith and Price below...
Ross Smith v Gerwyn Price Bet Builder
- Match Winner: Gerwyn Price
- Most 180s: Ross Smith
- 4+ 100+ Checkouts
- Over 26.5 Legs
Despite recording relatively comfortable victories in his two matches so far, Price hasn't quite hit top gear during the tournament just yet.
Winning, all whilst not playing at your best, is a handy skill to have and if the Welshman does manage to hit hit top gear on Friday night, he should take some stopping.
Although I'm backing Price to come out on top, the heavy-scoring Smith has to be a bet to record the most 180s in the clash. Price, despite playing some 17 legs more than Smudger, has only managed to chalk up one more maximum throughout the competition.
There is no doubting that Smith is playing well -- he has wins on both the European Tour and in Players Championship events this season -- but should Price return to somewhere near his best, this could turn into an attritional contest that requires a good amount of legs to sort out.
That's why I'm throwing over 26.5 legs into the bet builder.
