Free darts tips, best bets and analysis for Monday's PDC Home Tour Group 18

What is the PDC Home Tour?

The PDC announced a new event to keep sport rolling during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Home Tour event starts on Friday April 17 and will be streamed on bookmaker websites and features a host of big names.

Each session starts at 7.30 and will see four stars do battle in nightly round-robin groups which are played over the best-of-nine legs. The 32 group winners will progress through to the next phase.

Monday's PDC Home Tour Group 18 preview

Previous PDC Home Tour groups have not always followed the script when two big names are joined by two lesser lights but that might be the case on Night 18 with Stephen Bunting and Kim Huybrechts set to battle for supremacy, writes Joe Champion.

Bunting and Huybrechts are accompanied by Harald Leitinger and Nathan Derry in a section which, on paper, should be dominated by the top two.

Bookmakers have seen fit to make Bunting favourite to progress and the Bullet, a four-time BDO major champion, merits plenty of respect.

However, Huybrechts beat Peter Wright and Michael Smith to reach the semi-finals of a Players Championship event in March and the Hurricane is a formidable opponent when he's in the mood.

The 34-year-old Belgian leads Bunting 3-2 on head-to-heads, including wins in their last two meetings, and he looks value to take group honours.

Leitinger produced a dominant display to come through Q-School in January and, while the Austrian has done little since, he should be backed to take down Derry who has won just one of ten professional matches in 2020.
