THE PREDICTION
Michael van Gerwen may have had a disappointing season by his lofty standards but he still is very capable of ending the current campaign on a high by claiming the PDC World Championship title. The number one seed was in sublime form in his opening round win against Ryan Murray as he recorded an average of 108.98 against the Scotsman who competed well and managed to claim a set despite the barrage he was facing. Winning a set was something Ricky Evans failed to do when he met Van Gerwen at Ally Pally 12 months ago in their round three encounter - though it has to be noted that three of the four sets went to a fifth leg so Rapid Ricky was perhaps unfortunate to suffer a 4-0 defeat on that occasion. Evans might have some better fortune here and be able to stop MVG from claiming eight consecutive sets against him on the World Championship stage but he is not expected to pull off a shock victory and a 4-1 win for the world number one is predicted.
