Stephen Bunting v Wessel Nijman Best Bet
🎯 Over 0.5 100+ Checkouts
📈 Odds: 1.50
A difficult game to kick off the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts and one that could go either way. The betting suggests this from looking at the Match Odds and so do the stats. They have similar seasonal averages at 96.74 and 96.68 respectively and the 180 per leg ratios are similar across their current campaigns at 0.32 per leg and 0.35 per leg.
It really is a pick ‘em kind of match and we wouldn’t put anyone off siding with the slight outsider of the two, Wessel Nijman, considering he’s won both encounters this season including a Players Championship Final.
What is more appealing from examining their two previous clashes is for a 100+ checkout to be taken out in the match. Both previous games (albeit longer matches in terms of legs played than this match can be) contained two 100+ checkouts. Requiring just one in this, which can come from either player, in a match that could potentially contain the full complement of nine legs seems a sensible play rather than chancing the risky proposition of siding with either player.
Nijman is making his debut in the event but is rapidly on the up. He’s notched up 13 100+ checkouts in his last 20 matches whilst Bunting managed to land three big finishes in his group game success against Peter Wright in last year’s event. It’s a confident selection to hopefully get us off to a strong start.
