Michael Smith vs Dimitri Van den Bergh – Match Predictions
Contents
Michael Smith has an outside chance of stealing the top spot away from Gerwyn Price on the night. He needs to win the night again to have any chance of that while seeing Price struggle in Aberdeen. Here are our match predictions for Smith vs Van den Bergh.
Prediction 1: Smith -2.5 Handicap @ 6/5 (2.2)
Michael Smith tops everyone else’s current form in the Premier League. He’s won the last three rounds of action to surge into second place. Mathematically he can still finish top. Bully Boy is red-hot right now and as it’s been the complete opposite story for Van den Bergh, we just start with the straightforward pick of a Smith -2.5 handicap. Smith has covered that in his last three, PL wins over the Belgian.
Prediction 2: Smith Most 180s @ 17/20 (1.83)
In this season’s Premier League, Smith has produced 99 maximums, with only Gerwyn Price having recorded more. Put Smith’s 99 up against just the 51 produced by Dimitri Van den Bergh throughout the season, then this looks like a simple pick.
Michael Smith and Dimitri Van den Bergh Latest Form and Performances
Can Michael Smith keep this tremendous streak of PL form going? Ahead of the clash on Thursday night, we look at the current form of the two players.
Michael Smith Keeps Pushing
Michael Smith has produced some impressive play and he’s been dominating the rest of the current top four when he has met them in recent weeks. Maximum points on Nights 13, 14 and 15 leave him with a shot at knocking Price off the top of the table, meaning he would get an easier semi-final match on Finals Night. He’s the player to beat at the moment.
Dimitri Van den Bergh Gloom To End
There has been little joy for Dimitri Van den Bergh in this season’s Premier League. He has lost in the quarter-finals in all but one of the last eight rounds of action. He starts the final week of the regular season two points off the bottom. There’s a chance the Belgian could end up in that spot and is on a poor overall record of W6 L15 this season.
Michael Smith vs Dimitri Van den Bergh Head to Head
The current head-to-head record between Smith and Van den Bergh paints a very clear picture. Smith is on a five-match winning streak against the Belgian, losing only one of his last seven against The DreamMaker.
