The quarter-finals at the World Matchplay will see Dirk van Duijvenbode taking on Gary Anderson on Thursday evening. The Flying Scotsman has already beaten the Titan this year, and we feel he will come out on top in this encounter too, as discussed in our prediction.
Dirk van Duijvenbode has defied expectations at the World Matchplay this year, having eliminated two seeds in Chris Dobey and Michael van Gerwen to book his spot in the last eight.
Against MVG in the last round, the Titan pinned nine 180s and averaged 95.93. He converted 40% of his checkout attempts and recorded a highest checkout of 121 en route to a 14-12 victory.
The Dutchman has now won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions but has lost each of his last four against his upcoming opponent since September 2022.
Meanwhile, Gary Anderson has looked mightily impressive in Blackpool this year, reaching the quarter-finals with back-to-back wins against Ryan Joyce and fifth seed Jonny Clayton.
The Flying Scotsman outperformed the Ferret in almost all statistical categories in Round 2, including three-dart average (98.13), 180s (7) and checkout conversion (44%).
Anderson has also won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions. His most recent victory over this opponent came at the UK Open 10-6 in March.
