Darts World Championship Final Predictions

There will be a new name on the PDC World Championship honour roll tonight, after Luke Littler and Luke Humphries booked their place in the final of darts’ most-coveted tournament with respective dominant semi-final displays.

16-year-old Littler dispatched 2018 champion Rob Cross 6-2, meaning the sensational youngster has given up just six sets in six matches on route to the final, while Humphries whitewashed Scott Williams and recorded the tournament’s highest average of the year, 108.74, in doing so.

With both players in frightening form, this all-Luke final looks set to be a scintillating affair, and we have you covered with the three best bets for the colossal clash set to start at 8.15pm at Alexandra Palace in London.

Tip 1 - Luke Humphries: Match winner, most 180s, highest checkout @ 3/1

Cool Hand Luke was simply mesmerising in his semi-final, hardly breaking a sweat as he took out double after double whilst recording a 108.74 average - the third highest ever in a semi-final of the World Championships.

Humphries also took out the big fish in his demolition of Williams and notched 14 maximums in just six sets.

Littler was also exceptional in his semi-final, shrugging off any pressure to record a 106.05 average and make 16 180s in eight sets, but he could succumb to the talent of his rival in this final.

Nuke averaged two 180s per set whilst Humphries averaged 2.33 and, with Cool Hand Luke registering a 170 checkout and on an unbelievable winning run that saw him land the Grand Slam and Players Championship directly before this tournament, it is the older of the two Lukes who should be taken to dominate this final

Tip 2 - Highest checkout over 160.5 @ 11/8

The cream always rises to the top, so they say, and that has certainly proven to be the case in this year’s PDC World Darts Championship as Humphries has saved his best form for the latter rounds.

Cool Hand Luke was dominant in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals, especially when it came to checkouts as he took out 164 against Dave Chisnall before landing a magnificent big fish against Williams.

Those performances would suggest another big checkout is likely to occur in this match and Humphries’ opponent Littler could be the one to land it, having already taken out a 164 in this tournament.

With both players’ in exceptional form and the match likely to be close-fought meaning there will be lots of sets and legs for the pair to attack, a big checkout looks a near-certainty.

Tip 3 - Luke Littler over 45.5 checkout percentage @ 11/10

While new world number one Humphries looks set to win this final, Littler can not be underestimated and the young star is sure to give his all as he bids to become the tournament’s youngest ever winner.

One aspect of his game that has set him apart from other youngsters to have broken through in the past is his composure when it comes to doubles, with Nuke averaging over 45.5% on checkouts in his last three matches - including a ludicrous 50% success rate against 2007 champ Raymond van Barneveld.

Littler may not get as many chances for checkouts as he has in previous matches, as Humphries will use his experience and scoring power to zoom ahead of his rival, but expect him to find the double, especially if it is a double 10, on a regular basis when the opportunity arises.

The Nuke has looked unfazed throughout this tournament - almost robotic at times - and is unlikely to crack under the pressure of the Ally Pally crowd, so back the youngster to keep up his impressive checkout rate.
