Michael van Gerwen vs Danny Noppert Prediction: Gerwen to extend his run in this fixture

Michael van Gerwen and Danny Noppert will battle it out at AFAS Live in round ⅛ of the World Series Finals. The two teams' previous meetings have ended in wins for Gerwen. Can Danny Noppert level turn the tables?

Michael van Gerwen

Michael van Gerwen's last encounter was against Jonny Clayton in the round 1/16 of the World Series Finals. In that game, Michael van Gerwen won 6-4 in an 11-leg encounter. In the meantime, prior encounters to that win saw Michael van Gerwen lose to Peter Wright and Gabriel Clemens. Yet, Michael van Gerwen did well to secure wins over James Wade and Danny Noppert in two other games in the last five.

Danny Noppert

Danny Noppert will look to keep things running in this fixture after a defeat to Michael van Gerwen in their last meeting. In the meantime, their round 1/16 encounter in this World Series Finals saw Danny Noppert play Gian van Veen, and he won 6-3. However, Danny Noppert won three of his last five matches, with two others coming against Raymond van Barneveld and Dirk van Duijvenbode. 

Expert Betting Tips

Danny Noppert will need to do better in this fixture after losing in his previous game with Michael van Gerwen. However, Danny Noppert is not just at the level of Michael van Gerwen; I do not see him stopping Gerwen in this one too. I expect Michael van Gerwen to get the job done in this encounter, just as he did in his last meeting.
