This playoff match between Raymond van Barneveld and Glenn Durrant promises to be an interesting one, Barney is the better player out of the two but the way Durrant has been playing things might not be so easy for him today. Durrant started his Grand Slam with a narrow loss against Gary Anderson but never looked back from that moment, he won 5-1 in his next match against Norris and won 5-0 against Derry in his last group match to finish 2nd behind Anderson. Todays underdog managed to score at least 94 points on average and his checkout percentage has been 50% or higher in his last 2 games, something you need when you play a top player like Barney.
RVB has been even better than Durrant this tournament, the Dutchman produced 100 points or more in all of his 3 games and had a checkout percentage of 50% or more in all 3. But in this long format of best of 19 I think that the favorite will have more problems to win, he has not been able to win by 4 legs or more in a big majority of his matches. The last time was in the quarter finals of the Auckland Masters back on June 18 against Dave Chisnall winning 10-5, I dont think anything similar is going to happen today. My bet is to take Glen Durrant with a +2.5 legs advantage to atleast win 8 legs, he has been really good recently and will put in a big effort in this important match for him.
