Andy Jenkins vs Robert Thornton Prediction: Thornton hoping to get a revenge

In the round robin, Andy Jenkins and Thornton will battle it out with each as they look to qualify for the next round of this competition. Jenkins will come into this game prior to his winning streak. For Thornton, he will be hoping to bounce from a poor form against Jenkins as he look to get a first win in their last five matches together. 

Jenkins started with the British Darts Organisation and went on to have some success in the open events. He did not have a good showing at the BDO World Darts Championship. In 1995, he made his first of what would be seven visits to the Lakeside Country Club. Only in 1996 did he beat Belgian Bruno Raes; since then, he's lost to Sean Palfrey and others (1995). The Englishman has won three of his last five matches and was drawn twice. When he faces Thornton in the next round, he hopes to add another big trophy to his collection.

The third player ever to hit a double-start nine-dart finish at the World Grand Prix 2014 will go into this match hoping to get back to winning ways. In his last two matches, he won two and lost 5. Thornton is a three-time major winner between the BDO and PDC, having won the World Masters in 2007, UK Open in 2012, and World Grand Prix in 2015. He is also a former finalist at the Players Championship Finals in 2009 and the Grand Slam of Darts in 2013. As he looks to add to his significant trophies, Thornton will be doing everything possible to get a win. 

Both players have had rich history together. They have played 7 times in the last 4 years. In those periods, Andy Jenkins has won five matches in a row while Thornton has won first two matches between the two. Coming into this match, Andy is in a more better shape compared to Thornton. However, in this match, Thornton will hope to overturn his loses against fellow Englishman.
