Michael Smith vs. Gary Anderson: Both Going through a Rough Patch

The all-important quarterfinal of the Darts Premier League will feature Michael Smith and Gary Anderson. Both are struggling with form and consistency as they haven’t been able to produce any substantial performances. In the last 5 years, both these players have played around 13 matches against each other. Smith managed to win 7 of those, and the rest were won by Anderson. When last time these two played against each other in Premier League round 10, Anderson won the game by (7-3). Anderson would look to come up with a decisive strategy and win the upcoming quarterfinal.

Michael Smith is a determined player who knows how to react to tough situations and win. In the ongoing Premier League’s round game, he lost to Gary Anderson (4-6). However, in March, Smith defeated Anderson by 1-6. In recent, Michael lost to James Wade (6-5) and Luke Humphries (3-6). His only win in April 2022 came against Berry van Peer (6-4). It has been quite a rough and tough season for Smith.

Since 25th March 2022, fate isn’t favoring Gary Anderson as he has lost 5 straight games in a span of just 30 days. Anderson lost to Joe Cullen (5-6), Peter Wright (6-5, James Wade (2-6), and Jonny Clayton (6-2). It’s been tough and horrible days for Anderson, but he will be looking to come back strong and get going. 

For the upcoming fixture, it’s tough to predict the outright winner. However, the chances for Smith winning are on the higher side as compared to Anderson’s chances. As both players aren’t in their prime form, scoring 180s seems impossible. 

• Total Under 9.5 for 1.80
• Most 180s In Match – X for 4.5
