The second match of the night in Sheffield on Thursday is a dead rubber. Neither Peter Wright nor Chris Dobey can make the top four this term, so this is little more than a fight to avoid the wooden spoon.
These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.
Chris Dobey vs Peter Wright – Match Predictions
Contents
Peter Wright is still at the bottom of the table, but once again has a chance to correct that. On Night 15 he faces Chris Dobey who is three points ahead of him. Here are our darts predictions for the match.
Prediction 1: Dobey To Win @ 11/10 (2.1)
Neither player has been able to string any kind of consistency together this season. Peter Wright’s case hasn’t been helped by him skipping Players Championship tournaments this term. Still, there’s little to choose between these, but solely on recent form, Dobey has a very slight edge.
Prediction 2: Dobey Most 180s @ 17/20 (1.85)
Dobey leads Wright by a fair distance in this area of the Premier League this season. So that is going to be the other pick of the night. Wright isn’t throwing with the accuracy that saw him win major titles in the sport. Dobey will know that a win in the match will keep him well away from the wooden spoon.
Chris Dobey and Peter Wright Latest Form and Performances
It is time now to dig a little deeper into the current form of Wright and Dobey ahead of their Thursday night clash in Sheffield.
Dobey Snaps His Streak
After five straight quarter-final exits on nights of Premier League action, Dobey finally managed to post a match victory last week. He beat Dimitri Van den Bergh, one of the two players beneath him in the Premier League standings. That moved Dobey on to a W6 L13 record in this season’s campaign.
Wright About To Lick The Wooden Spoon?
There’s a real danger now that Peter Wright will finish bottom of the table. He is two points adrift heading into Thursday’s action. He is not carrying any kind of form either on a three-match losing streak in all competitions. It’s a disastrous W5 L14 record by Snakebite in this season’s Premier League.
Chris Dobey vs Peter Wright Head to Head
Another potential clue of which way to go for match predictions in this one, is in the head to head. Dobey has won the last two meetings, the most recent of those happening in the Premier League in February.
