This is a first round match in the World Series of Darts finals and it's being played in Amsterdam. Eighth seed Stephen Bunting gets his campaign underway with a match against Josh Rock. Of the last five matches played between these players, Rock has won four of them and our prediction is he will win here.
Whoever wins this match will take on either Rob Cross or Ryan Searle, both of whom are unseeded.
Stephen Bunting is known as 'The Bullet' and he will hope to fire his way into round two of this tournament which was won last year by Michael van Gerwen.
This year has seen Bunting finish fifth in the Premier League, but he did win two of the nights. He has also reached one Players Championship final.
Current form is not good though for Bunting with three of his last four matches ending in defeat.
Josh Rock was a semi-finalist in this year's UK Open. He also made it to the last eight in both the World Masters and the recent World Masters. Rock has also had some poor results in recent weeks with three of his last four matches being lost.
He'll hope for another good run in this tournament. Last year, he lost to the eventual champion in the semi-finals.
