Rob Cross vs Scott Williams Prediction

After winning the World Championships on debut in 2018 beating Phil Taylor in the final, it has not been easy for Rob Cross to hit those heights since then. He did however reach the semis last year before losing to Luke Littler and on his day, Cross can beat anybody in the world.

He gets this year’s World Champs underway against close friend Scott Williams and this could very well be a thriller.

Williams is ranked 37 in the world and he too made the semis last year in just his second appearance at Ally Pally as he lost to Luke Humphries. He managed to beat German talent Niko Springer in the first round in what was one of, if not the, highest quality match in the first round. He averaged 96.24 and hit nine 180s while his opponent managed 98.92 and seven maximums.

If he produces anything like that again here, Cross is in for a serious test. This is likely to be another heavy-scoring match and while we prefer the underdog Williams at current prices, our pick here is on the total 180s which we expect to hit double figures.

Rob Cross vs Scott Williams Tip: Over 9.5 total 180s
