THE PREDICTION

Filipino’s Christian Perez returns to the PDC World Darts Championship for the first time since 2015, with his victory at the PDC Asian Championship in September ensuring that he will grace the Alexandra Palace stage once more. Standing in his way is a formidable opponent though, with Simon Whitlock a seasoned pro at the top level. The Wizard hasn’t enjoyed a deep run in this tournament for some time, but rarely does he slip up at the first hurdle. His World Cup of Darts triumph in the summer alongside compatriot Damon Heta showed that the Aussie can still compete at the highest level, and we’re expecting him to secure a 3-0 win here.
