Free darts betting tips | PDC Home Tour preview

Home is where the darts is for the next 32 nights after the PDC announced a new event to keep the 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.

Friday April 17 Group 1 preview

Group 1 sees kicks it all off with world champion Peter Wright doing battle against Jamie Lewis, Niels Zonneveld and Peter Jacques for a place in the next round.

Scottish arrers star Wright would ordinarily be expected to take the honours comfortably and is 1-2 to top the group.

However, quite how seriously Wright is taking the event remains to be seen. Lewis and Zonneveld are 6-1, while outsider Jacques has been nibbled into 7-1.

Lewis is a former PDC World Championship semi-finalist but the Welshman is only 60th on the PDC Order of Merit and could find Zonneveld tough to beat.

Dutch rising star Zonneveld has performed well on the Development Tour recently and defeated Simon Whitlock 6-4 last month.
