THE PLAYERS

PAUL HOGAN

  • Two-time quarter-finalist Paul Hogan has a wealth of experience having made his World Championship debut all the way back in 1995.
  • Hogan has twice reached the round of 16 at the UK Open in recent years with wins recorded against the likes of Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis.

BRIAN RAMAN

  • Brian Raman has won a couple of ranking tournaments this season, helping him earn a spot at the World Championship for the first time.
  • Raman played on the PDC Development Tour in 2019 without much success, though he did notably qualify for the UK Open in March.

THE PREDICTION

Hogan has decades of experience and is still more than capable of producing a good standard of play on the big stage. He made his World Championship debut before Raman was even born and is likely to use all of his knowhow to come through this encounter. A Hogan win in four sets is the prediction.
