THE PLAYERS

DARREN HEREWINI

• 2019 WDF World Cup Singles champion Herewini failed to win a PDC tour card at the start of 2019 but did defeat Glen Durrant at Q School.
• World Championship debutant Darren Herewini’s previous experience on the TV stage was when he lost to Phil Taylor at the 2017 Auckland Masters.

SIMON STAINTON

• Simon Stainton has won a couple of minor ranking tournaments this season – both came in Cyprus over the same weekend back in October.
• Stainton is making his debut here with his only previous notable run in a BDO major being the last 16 at the 2019 World Masters.

THE PREDICTION

Two World Championship debutants face off in this match and there is not likely to be much between them in a close contest. Hererwini might just have the edge in terms of confidence and he is predicted to settle into the match faster than Stainton which could prove to be the crucial difference.
