Nick Kenny vs Stowe Buntz Prediction

Nick Kenny returns to Ally Pally for his third appearance at the World Championships and the 31-year-old Welshman will be determined to put in a good showing.

The world number 76 has had some good results this season including a quarter-final appearance in the German Darts Championships earlier this year and he beat some good players like Ross Smith and Ricardo Pietreczko.

He gets underway this year against colourful American Stowe Buntz. The 45-year-old, nicknamed the ‘Neon Nightmare’ is making his second appearance after making his debut last year. He lost 0-3 to Kevin Doets but he thoroughly enjoyed his debut and will be fired up to put on an entertaining show.

Ultimately Kenny should have too much quality for Buntz in this one but the American cannot be discounted. It is hard to have confidence in either player right now but we are going on the 180s market as we are not expecting either player to be prolific.

Nick Kenny vs Stowe Buntz Tip: Under 6.5 total 180s
