Our Gary Anderson vs Justin Hood Prediction
Gary Anderson has managed to return to the last eight in the World Championships, and given his pedigree and past achievements, you simply cannot write off the Scotsman going all the way.
However, every year the Ally Pally tosses up a surprise package, and this year it’s Justin Hood, who has knocked off seed after seed and enters this one following a whitewash of Josh Rock. The value for us lies with the Englishman in this one. Our Gary Anderson vs Justin Hood prediction is Justin Hood +2.5.
