THE third round of the BetMGM Premier League offers some intriguing match ups. Title sponsors BetMGM’s odds indicate some possible value prior to tonight’s fixtures in Glasgow.
Last week’s winner Michael Van Gerwen faces Peter Wright in the second match of the night. The Dutchman starts as an overwhelming favourite at 2/15. He is also priced at 11/8 to win the match, throw the most 180’s and get the highest checkout of the match. Yet Wright will have huge support from the Glasgow crowd and has shown signs of a return to some sort of form over the last week or so?
Our other weekly winner of 2024, Michael Smith, faces Rob Cross in the opening match of the evening. Smith starts as a slight favourite, priced at 10/13 with Cross priced at 49/50 to get the victory.
