2024 Grand Slam Of Darts Tips
Check out our expert darts tips for the day one action at the 2024 Grand Slam Of Darts.
Wessel Nijman to beat Stephen Bunting
With social media filling up with #babyBuntingmental posts from Stephen Bunting this past week, it’s fair to suggest he might not have his eyes completely on the ball this weekend.
Bunting welcomed the birth of a baby boy this week and sleepless nights since will give Wessel Nijman the confidence to get up and running in his opening Group H match.
The Dutchman has reached a European Tour quarter-final and won the 24th Players Championship event earlier this season, so is fast-becoming a player used to winning games at just 24 years old.
Nijman to grab the first two points of the group at 11/10.
Ross Smith vs Ritchie Edhouse - Over 8.5 legs
Both Ross Smith and Ritchie Edhouse have been surprise major TV title winners over the past couple of years, so to suggest they could be outsiders for the Grand Slam title this year would be fair.
On paper, there isn’t much to split between these two – Smith has the better experience and pedigree, but Edhouse’s form can’t be disregarded coming off the back of success at the European Championship.
A tight race on throw could easily see this one going the distance in a 5-4 either way.
Luke Littler to win the match & most 100+ checkouts vs Keane Barry
Luke Littler has fallen early in recent TV majors which has been a surprise to everyone.
The youngster is making his Grand Slam of Darts debut this campaign, and will most likely enjoy the relaxed format of the group stages.
With a loose arm, Littler should be able to put on an exhibition against Keane Barry and winning the match with the most 100+ checkouts is a steal at 8/5.
