THE PLAYERS

RYAN HOGARTH

• Ryan Hogarth made his BDO World Championship debut in 2019 when he lost 3-1 to Oliver Ferenc in the preliminary round.
• Since reaching the final at the Dutch Open in early 2019, Hogarth has only reached two quarter-finals on the ranking circuit.

THIBAULT TRICOLE

• Thibault Tricole defeated Ross Montgomery in an epic preliminary round encounter that went all the way into a tie-breaker in the final set.
• World Championship debutant Tricole survived a missed match dart and averaged almost seven points less than Montgomery in the prelim round contest.

THE PREDICTION

Tricole may have rode his luck at times against Ross Montgomery but there was a lot to like about his performance and he appears to be capable of ousting the seeded player here. Hogarth does not have a lot of big-stage experience and it is Tricole who is predicted to hold his nerve and progress
