Adrian Lewis v Raymond van Barneveld
This could be a great game. If Barney plays like he did last week and jumps on Adrian Lewis' mistakes I think he could end up a winner here.
Adrian needs a win, he can't go two [defeats] from two otherwise he's going to put himself under pressure but he needs to stop making mistakes.
We all know how great Adrian is and his scoring power is unbelievable, but when he gets under 200 he makes too many mistakes and that's why he ends up losing games.
I'm going to go for a Barney win. I can't see him losing this one, and I can see him just nicking it.
Match Odds
Adrian Lewis 11/8, Draw 4/1, Raymond van Barneveld 11/10
Terry Jenkins v Simon Whitlock
I think that Simon is going to take a couple more weeks to get used to these crowds.
This could be a draw but if Simon gets into his stride he will end up the winner. It's a hard one to call, and Jenkins has to liven up and start hitting his doubles, or Simon will come out the winner.
Match Odds
Terry Jenkins 3/2, Draw 4/1, Simon Whitlock Evens
Phil Taylor v Ronnie Baxter
Ronnie is a seasoned pro who won't bottle it but he's coming up against Phil Taylor, and not many people can live with Phil.
Ronnie will be hard on his heels but not quite good enough on the night, and I see Phil Taylor running away an easy winner.
Match Odds
Phil Taylor 1/14, Draw 10/1, Ronnie Baxter 12/1
James Wade v Mervyn King
This will be the best game of the night. James lost to Raymond van Barneveld last week and he's got to get a win on the board, but he's playing one of the seasoned professionals who does everything right.
Mervyn is a grinder and when he is not playing at the top of his game he still wins games because he knows how to close games out.
James is only firing on about 85 percent and needs to push it up another five percent if he's going to beat Mervyn King.
It's another one that's hard to call and wouldn't surprise me if it was a draw, but Mervyn may grind out another result this week.
Match Odds
James Wade 11/10, Draw 4/1, Mervyn King 11/8
