Ritchie Edhouse vs Ian White Prediction

Ian White advanced through in the first-round but not in the way he would’ve wanted after scheduled opponent Sandro Eric Sosing was taken ill backstage prior to the start of play and subsequently rushed to hospital. This means both White and Ritchie Edhouse are still yet to drop a competitive dart across this year’s tournament heading into this encounter.

The pressure is on Edhouse, who would be in uncharted territory if he gets past White. But ‘Diamond’ has made it through this stage before, most recently in 2022. Whilst White’s form has been anything but sparkling since then, this competition could be the beginning of a renaissance.

Opportunity knocks for both of these two players and whoever can handle the pressure better is likely to succeed. Having had the experience of getting into third-round, Ian White could be more-equipped to take that opportunity here ahead of Edhouse.
