World Darts Championship betting tips
Two-time world champion Anderson, who turned 55 on Monday, faces Connor Scutt, then Van Gerwen, three times the champion of the world, follows on to the stage to face in-form Irishman William O’Connor.
Title dark horse Danny Noppert opens the session against Justin Hood, while Josh Rock, another contender for outright glory, closes the night against Joe Comito.
- Danny Noppert to win 3-0 @ 13/8
- William O’Connor to win @ 13/8
- Josh Rock to hit a 180 in each set and win 3-0 @ 8/5
Dutch dynamo should cruise to the third round
Danny Noppert has become one of the heaviest scorers on the PDC circuit this season and the Dutchman is playing well enough to go deep in this competition.
Noppert started this year by making the semi-finals of the World Masters, then made the same stage of the World Cup of Darts for the Netherlands, alongside Gian van Veen.
Noppert was runner-up in the Hungarian Darts Trophy and reached the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix, the European Championship and the Grand Slam of Darts, forcing his name into the frame for a Premier League place next season.
With form and confidence flowing through his veins, Noppert can be expected to make short work of World Championship second-round opponent Justin Hood.
Round one went well for Hood, but he can be vulnerable on the outer ring, which could be a recipe for disaster against The Freeze.
If Noppert gets on top early, expect a 3-0 victory.

Magpie looks set to send Mighty Mike packing
Three-time world champion Van Gerwen has endured a difficult year away from the oche, so it is hardly surprising that his form has deteriorated.
MVG looked extremely vulnerable in round one against humble Japanese qualifier Mitsuhiko Tatsunami and was fortunate that the Alexandra Palace newcomer faltered at key moments.
Van Gerwen will probably need to step up significantly in round two to survive against William O’Connor, who has been in the form of his life this year.
O’Connor averaged 102.36 in his 3-0 round-one destruction of Krzysztof Kciuk and will fancy his chances of sending Mighty Mike packing.
Maximums machine Rock likely to dominate
The final match of December 23 sees Josh Rock face Australian qualifier Joe Comito and it looks like a complete mismatch.
Rock is one of the best players in the world, looking capable of developing into a world champion, while Comito is a 44-year-old journeyman who will be shocked to have reached this stage of the competition.
Niko Springer has been struggling with his health at times this year and was poor in a 3-1 defeat to Comito in round one.
Rock averaged only 90.18 in a 3-1 victory over Gemma Hayter, admitting to complacency afterwards, but the Northern Irishman should be fully switched-on against Comito on the final day of action before Christmas.
Rock is such a heavy scorer that it is difficult to see Comito getting many chances to hit leg-winning doubles.
Bookmakers are wise to the difference in class between these two, so a Bet Builder is required to earn a decent price about Rock.
Backing the 24-year-old to hit a 180 in each set of the match and to win the match without losing a set provides a 8/5 chance.
