Prediction
It is perfectly poised and all four players have a good chance of taking home the title. Littler topped the table, Humphries registered best scoring average, Van Gerwen recorded the highest checkout percentage and Smith has such a strong record over his semi-final opponent, Littler, that he will fancy of his chances of making the final. It’s hard to call, but we’re opting for Luke Humphries to back up his world title and get the job done.
