England have been installed as the pre-tournament favourites for the BetVictor World Cup of Darts ahead of the annual 40-nation event.
The world’s top-two ranked players, Luke Humphries and Luke Littler, will team up for England for the first time next week as they bid to win a sixth title for their nation.
The respective Premier League champion and World Champion, Humphries and Littler have been installed as 4/11 odds-on favourites with sponsors BetVictor to claim the title on Sunday June 15 in Frankfurt.
Two-time winners Wales are the 7/2 second favourites, as Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton look to complete their third World Cup triumph as a pairing.
Scotland – represented by Peter Wright and Gary Anderson – are rated at 14/1 as they bid for a third World Cup success, while Belgium and Netherlands are 18/1.
A section of possible good values sees host nation Germany join fourth seeds Northern Ireland – Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney – as 20/1 chances.
2024 finalists Austria are 33/1 to go one better, while 2022 winners Australia are 28/1 in their bid or further glory.
Sam Boswell, Head of Sponsorship and Media at BetVictor, said: “We are delighted to once again be supporting the World Cup of Darts.
“This unique event is a huge hit with darts fans, and the pairing of the two Lukes for the first time is bound to only add to the excitement.
“Such is their ability; our traders have made them 4/11 to retain the World Cup for England. Next in the betting comes the in-form Welsh duo of Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton at 7/2, 2021 winners Scotland are 14/1 whilst last year’s runners up Austria are 33/1.
“We expect to see plenty of interest in the event and have a number of special offers for darts punters to enjoy.
“One price I think that will capture the imagination is a nine-darter to be landed in the event. We have gone 9/1 that any pair can pull off what would be a stunning feat in Frankfurt next week.”
