World Darts Championship Day 11 predictions: Darts betting tips, 9/1 treble and free bets

PDC World Championship Day 11 predictions

• Gerwyn Price to beat Brendan Dolan 4-1 – 5/2 at Unibet
• Luke Humphries -2.5 handicap vs Ricardo Pietreczko – 4/5 at BetMGM
• Ricky Evans to beat Daryl Gurney – 13/8 with BetMGM
• The treble pays 9/1 at BetGoodwin

Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries get stuck into the third round of the 2024 World Darts Championship on Thursday but the big game for darts fans is saved to last.

Ricky Evans vs Daryl Gurney is a mouthwatering match-up, with both men in top form and viable contenders for the quarter-finals.

Evans has won both his matches 3-0 so far, while Gurney’s 3-1 second-round win over Steve Beaton saw him nail a plus-100.00 average.

Dave Chisnall awaits Thursday night’s victor and UK betting sites can hardly split the pair. In fact, so undecided are they on who will win that they’ve sided with Gurney purely on the weight of his PDC ranking.

While darts betting sites continue to drive the odds on Price and Humphries down, the market is still fluctuating on the third match of the night.

Here, then, are three picks heading into Day 11 of the World Darts Championship, which when combined into a treble pays out around 9/1 at BetGoodwin.

Gerwyn Price vs Brendan Dolan predictions

(7:45pm)

Price barely got out of first gear with his 3-0 drubbing of Connor Scutt in the second round. 

The Iceman has reached the quarter-finals on both occasions since his World Championship triumph in 2021, and is as short as 2/13 to beat Brendan Dolan and stroll into the fourth round here.

Instead, it’s worth considering a big Welsh win for Price, who carries a 6-4 winning record over Dolan. 

They haven’t faced each other since 2021 and it was Price who beat Dolan en route to his world title that season.

Unibet have Price at 5/2 to win this match 4-1 and that seems a likely outcome when you consider the Welshman’s most recent appearance on the oche.

Luke Humphries vs Ricardo Pietreczko predictions

(9:00pm)

Ricardo Pietreczko deserved his thrilling 3-2 victory over seed Callan Rydz in the second round. He was consistent in his +100 throws and his checkout rate was almost double Rydz’s. 

The World No.39 is one of the highest-ranking non-seeds at the tournament this year and, had the draw been kinder to him, could have been an outside shout for a semi-final spot.

Sadly for Pietreczko it looks like Thursday will be the end of his Ally Pally dream. Humphries has eyes on the title and didn’t break a sweat in his 3-0 victory over Lee Evans.

Humphries has a 3-0 record over Pietreczko and most recently beat him 6-5 at the German Darts Open. The Englishman should win again and by a relatively comfortable margin, despite two of those three previous triumphs going down to the wire.

BetMGM have Humphries at 4/5 to win with a -2.5 handicap and that margin of victory feels like a fair reflection given the talent gap between the pair.

PDC World Championship Tip 2: Humphries -2.5 vs Pietreczko – 4/5 at BetMGM

Ricky Evans vs Daryl Gurney predictions

(10:15pm)

Ricky Evans is yet to drop a set in the 2024 World Darts Championship and demolished Nathan Aspinall 3-0 on Saturday. He’s never made it past the third round at the Ally Pally and lost to Gurney 3-1 during the 2022 Worlds.

Evans is the understandable underdog here, priced at 13/8 with BetMGM, but it may be worth taking on Gurney here. After all, Evans has only lost four legs over the entire tournament so far.

Gurney is favourite courtesy of his ranking and the fact he’s won his last five meetings with Evans. Yet three of those have been close encounters and Evans has arguably deserved more than the results suggest.

A win for Evans completes our predictions for Day 11 of the action at the PDC World Championship.
