Luke Littler was at his usual best when dismantling Dirk Van Duijvenbode last night, producing a stunning average of 110.88 in a 17-5 victory.

What was particularly eye-catching about that performance was his scoring; in just 22 legs, Littler pumped in 16 180s. What won't be surprising is that his performance was nothing out of the ordinary for him, seeing as he produced 17 180s against Josh Rock in the quarters.

15+ 180s seems quite a manageable line for Littler in a best-of-35-leg contest here, where despite Littler's obvious position as favourite, we should see enough fight out of Price to drag this past 22 legs.

Luke Littler is rightly the heavy favourite for this encounter, having bettered Gerwyn Price in 9 of their last 10 meetings. However, the odds very much reflect that, with Luke Littler being priced at 1.11 to win here. I believe the odds are slightly disrespectful to Price, and the legs won market looks appealing here.

Price and Littler last faced off in the Premier League Play-Offs in May, in a best-of-19 format where Price almost produced an audacious comeback from 9-4 down to ultimately lose 10-9. That trend has continued through most of their longer format games, and despite Littler's incredible form, Price looks a man who's found his passion again, and I'm backing him to be competitive here.

Gerwyn Price will face a very tough task in keeping up with Luke Littler's scoring; however, his finishing has been on a par with Littler's at the Matchplay, hovering between 45-50% accuracy.

The combination of strong checkouts and facing an opponent whose scoring is significantly better leads to a clear angle, as Price is likely to be left with most of his opportunities at checkouts from big numbers. He's managed 2+ 100+ in both of his last two matches, and 3 in his last meeting with Luke Littler.

1.83 for Price to take two of the outside opportunities forced his way looks a strong bet.
