Free darts tips, best bets and analysis for Saturday's PDC Home Tour Group Nine

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.

Saturday's PDC Home Tour Group Nine preview

Michael Smith is a consistent performer at the top level of the PDC and it's hard to see Bully Boy failing to escape a Home Tour group featuring Harry Ward, Matt Clark and Martijn Kleermaker.

Smith is yet to win a major but he's a four-time runner-up, including at the 2019 World Championship behind Michael van Gerwen and most recently at the Masters where he missed match darts to beat Peter Wright in the final.

The 29-year-old is edging closer, however, and should have too much for his rivals on the ninth night of Home Tour action.

Kleermaker may give Smith the most to think about. The Dutchman won his tour card at the start of the year and has beaten John Henderson, Joe Cullen and Stephen Bunting in 2020.

He's likely to find Bully Boy too good but should comfortably see off veteran Matt Clark in the third match of the evening at 8.30pm.

Best Bets
M Kleermaker -1.5 legs v M Clark (8.30pm)
