The match of the evening – Adrian Lewis battling it out against Gary Anderson
With few hours remaining for the ultimate battle between champions to take place, the news making rounds is how each weighs. How can one overtake the other with the greatest convenience?
Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis both have their pros and cons. Talking about Anderson first, the biggest advantage he has is in the form of being the Premier League champion.
This can help him in getting an upper hand and subsequently increasing pressure on his opponent.
Secondly, Westpoint Arena is of special significance for Anderson. The Scotsman has been able to secure a number of important victories at this place and this will certainly play a pivotal role in helping him gain leverage in the game.
Last, but not the least, Anderson has the advantage of the performance he has been delivering in the Premier League so far.
Since his first game in the event, he has been putting his maximum effort to make things best for him.
His previous encounters against players like James Wade, Andy Hamilton and Kevin Painter have all been exceptional in terms of performance.
To put it as simply as possible, he has been able to outclass all his opponents completely. All these factors can collectively contribute in enhancing the output anticipated from the match.
On the other hand, there is the reigning darts champion Adrian Lewis. Also known as the comeback king, Lewis is struggling with his form since his return as a winner from the World Cup of darts event.
It is important to mention here that, even though Lewis has not been able to win any of his games so far, he has not lost any of them either. All he has ended up with are draws.
According to the champion, if he is able to gain lead of a couple of legs in the preliminary stage of the game, this will definitely help him in strengthening his position in the game on the whole.
Nevertheless, it might not be very difficult to recall when Lewis was able to do the same in his opening match against Taylor.
Amazingly, Taylor was able to bounce back from 7-1 to end the game at 7-7, leaving Lewis and all the audience present in the arena completely baffled.
Apart from the exhilaration fuelled match between Anderson and Lewis, other matches taking place will be between Phil Taylor and Simon Whitlock.
Raymond van Barneveld will meet Andy Hamilton to, once again, experiment his luck in the Premier League.
