THE PREDICTION

These two vastly experienced competitors have met plenty of times over the years and there is not really much to seperate them on their head-to-head record which consists of almost 50 encounters. This is a repeat of their second round game at the 2019 World Grand Prix which was won by Mervyn King, and the 2012 Grand Prix finalist also claimed a victory in their most recent meeting just over a week ago at the German Darts Championship on his way to reaching the semi-finals. King starts as the outsider in this game, but taking the aforementioned facts into consideration there looks to be value in betting on him to come out on top in this round one tie.
