Luke Littler vs Ryan Joyce: Betting preview

Luke Littler has generally been well below his best at this year's World Championship. He overcame a sluggish start to see off Ian White (4-1) in the third round with an average of 97.84. The 17-year-old averaged just 84. Previously he also dropped a set in his first-round victory over Ryan Meikle (3-1). In that match, the 'Nuke' managed to post a record set average of 140.91.

Ryan Joyce came through a thriller with Ryan Searle in the third round, winning 4-3 with a 97.40 average and defying a 100+ average from ‘Heavy Metal’ to progress in a deciding set on Saturday. After looking a little nervy in his opening wins against Darius Labanauskas and Danny Noppert, "Relentless" has been cynical against Searle as he ended that match with a checkout percentage of over 62%. The 39-year-old has had a good run this year, reaching the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix and the quarter-finals of the Players Championship.

There are no H2H stats to take into account. This will be the first time that Luke Littler and Ryan Joyce have played each-other in the PDC.

Best odds

The Nuke is heavily favoured at 1/8 (1.13 on non-UK bookmakers) to defeat Joyce and progress to the competition's last eight. At the other end of the scale, Joyce is considered an 6/1 (7.00) outsider to cause a massive upset in his first face-off with Littler!

Luke Littler vs Ryan Joyce: Predictions

Luke Littler hit just 35% of his darts at double last time out while Ryan Joyce finished with a 62% checkout percentage against Ryan Searle.

The 17-year-old is clearly feeling the pressure of being the favourite to go all the way while Ryan Joyce has gradually improved with each passing round.

Another slow start from Littler could see Ryan Joyce go ahead in the score, but the Nuke is able to raise his game as the match progress and will ultimately secure his berth in the last-8 round.

We go for Luke Littler to win 4-1.
