I'm going to concentrate on the opening game first of all, Jeffrey De Graaf is a very likeable Swedish player who enjoys the Ally Pally stage. 12 months ago in the competition he had two impressive scalps beating Gary Anderson and Paolo Nebrida who is an excellent player on the Asian tour.

He's up against a darting legend in Paul Lim who will likely have the crowd on his side, which may cause Jeffrey some issues, however, De Graaf is in decent form and statistically a stronger 180 hitter than Lim.

De Graaf being the heavy favourite at 1.22 doesn't give us much, but I'm siding with him to also get the most 180s for some extra value.

Last year Wessel Nijman was actually 7th favourite for the tournament, and that did put a lot of unwanted pressure on the youngster, who has bundles of talent. He is maturing very nicely, he gets his head down and hits plenty of 180s and 140s.

Nijman is up against Karel Sedlacek, a strong player who doesn't fear anybody, meaning Nijman isn't in for an easy ride.

However, the preparation and mental resilience of Wessel Nijman should be enough to get him over the line, alongside his impressive scoring ability, I'm going for him to win and to hit the most 180s on Saturday night.
