The Modus Super Series continues, and now darts fans have something to look forward to today. Alec Small and Brian Raman will be facing each other.

At Telecom Asia, we share a match preview. Plus, we offer free betting opportunities.

Alec Small: Forms and Statistics

Alec Small has not had an easy time in his recent matches. In the last ten games, he has won only three times. Over the past two days, he played ten matches, winning 3 and losing 7. Among his losses were tough defeats to players like R Robinson (0-4), J Walker (2-4), J Cole (1-4), D Evans (1-4), Van Bijen P (3-4), B Raman (3-4), and K Burness (1-4). His recent performances against Jonny Walker, J Cole, D Evans, R Robinson, Danny Lauby, Polish player Sebastian Bialecki, Scottish player Nathan Girwan, and Jamie Kelling have been below par. However, Alec did have a notable win against Mervyn King, beating him 4-1 in the Modus Super Series. He also defeated Fallon Sherrock 4-1 and John Brown 4-1. He has suffered other close defeats too. For example, he lost to Jamie Kelling 3-4, Ron Meulenkamp 1-4, and Berry van Peer 1-4. During his career, Alec also had a thrilling win over Swiss player Stefan Bellmont with a 4-2 score. In his next match, we hope the Welsh player will stand strong and fight hard. But it will take a lot of hard work, training, and practice to turn things around.

Alec Small: Strength

Alec Small found the bullseye to halve the deficit against the high-flying Jenson Walker. Then, out of nowhere, he took full control of the leg with a stunning 102 checkout. A win for the wildcard, Alec Small, means he won’t be going home empty-handed. It also means the group has become even more tightly contested.

Brian Raman: Forms and Statistics

Brian Raman made his debut on the PDC circuit in 2022. Since then, he has had some ups and downs. For example, before his recent wins, he managed only one win in four games, beating Andre Davidson but losing to Tommy Morris, Ashley Coleman, and Andrew Davidson. Later, he recorded back-to-back wins over Devon Petersen and Michel Van Der Horst, both by 4-1 scores. In November, at the Players Championship tournament, he secured a single victory by defeating Darren Webster 6-3. However, he also faced defeats against Jamie Hughes, Callen Rydz, Vincent Van der Voort, and Maik Kuivenhoven during that time. Brian made his debut in the Modus Online Live League competition in 2024. In April Modus, he impressed by taking out 132 with Bull D16 Bull—a truly mad finish. He also did a remarkable 167 finish when his opponent was on 167. January was a highlight for Brian. He won his fifth WDF title by claiming the 2025 Men’s Romanian Open. In Bucharest, he defeated John Michael 5-2. He won three legs in a row and fired a sensational 124 finish for a 12-darter before sealing the match with a 64 checkout. More recently, Brian played five matches in a day. He lost 4-2 to Graham Hall but beat K Burnness 4-3, W Beaden 4-1, P Van Bijnen 4-1, and B Raman 4-3. Overall, Brian has recorded two wins and three losses in his last five matches. Now, as a 25-year-old Belgian darts player, Brian is the favorite in his next game. He will look to keep his momentum going.
