Don’t Be Fooled, Roll With van Gerwen

At first glance, darts bettors will take Stephen Bunting to come out on top here at plus money darts odds. However, Michael van Gerwen is still the alpha in this matchup. He’s won three of his last five matches and covered a -1.5 spread in all three of those wins as well.

Bunting, on the other hand, is 4-1 in his last five, but is coming off of an eye opening 1-6 loss at the hands Luke Humphries, the number one overall player in the world.

Looking at their previous meetings against one another, van Gerwen owns the series winning eight of their last 10 bouts against each other.

It is also worth pointing out that five of Bunting’s last six outright losses have failed to cover a +1.5 spread.

The winner of this quarterfinal matchup will move on to the Semifinal and take on the winner of the Luke Littler and Rob Cross matchup. Littler is currently a massive -435 favorite to win with a -2.5 spread leaning his way.
