THE PREDICTION
It has been something of a mixed return to the oche for Raymond van Barneveld since he came through PDC Qualifying School in February after a rather brief retirement. It did not take the Dutchman long to tastes success as he won Players Championship 3 later on that month, but he’s had some rather underwhelming results since then. Be that as it may, his goal was to reach the PDC World Championship and here he faces a player who has never won a match on the Alexandra Palace stage. This will be Lourence Ilagan’s sixth appearance in darts’ showpiece event but the Filipino has failed to shine under the TV lights and he will struggle to lay a glove on the five-time world champion here. Barney in straight sets is the prediction here.
