Lewis to March on to Premier League Semis

Adrian Lewis can book his place in the semi-finals of the Premier League with a win over Gary Anderson this evening…

Simon Whitlock can still, mathematically, take fourth place from Lewis tonight. But Lewis can put the matter to bed before his Australian rival even steps up onto the stage.

As the Lewis versus Anderson match precedes Whitlock’s fixture against Phil Taylor the World Champion can get the point that he needs to secure a top-four finish in the penultimate match of the night.

And we can be sure that he will be fully focussed on doing exactly that. Lewis produced the performance of the Premier League season when beating Anderson in Glasgow. Despite having to contend with any number of inanimate objects being thrown at him Jackpot proved that his World Championship final victory was no fluke by rattling off eight straight legs to record an 8-3 victory.

Although Anderson was clearly distressed by the actions of some of his fellow countrymen the result only served to compound Lewis’s superiority in the pair’s head-to-head statistics. Despite the Scot winning their two most recent encounters on the circuit Lewis has an 8-4 advantage in matches played between the pair.

With the draw being a favourable result for Lewis it would be foolish to ignore that outcome, so we’ll do our betting in the Draw No Bet market here. Betfred offer an industry-best price of 11/8 for a Lewis victory with stakes returned should the match end in a draw.
