Ryan Searle vs Matt Campbell Prediction

Ryan Searle has established himself over the last few years as a very strong, very capable Darts player. However, getting to the business end of tournament’s hasn’t been easy and this needs to change if Searle is to break into the field of players pushing to compete in the Premier League.

Matt Campbell averaged 93.31 against Mensur Sulijovic, but it was how he held his nerve under pressure that was most impressive, winning two of his three sets by three legs to two, including the all-important decider.

Searle is a reliable campaigner and has never been knocked out of the World Championships earlier than the third-round. Therefore, backing him to win has to be favoured, but Campbell could well take at least one set off ‘Heavy Metal’
