PDC World Championship 2018: My prediction

Hi Guys

Its that time of year again.

Im abit late with this, and there has already been a few surprises with Bunting, Chizzy and Klassen all making first round exits.

On paper it would seem like one of the obvious 2 to win it in Gary Anderson and MVG seeing as both have won it twice in the last 4 years.

It has been nice to See  Steve Beaton and Vincent Van De Voort progress to round 2, however its the half with MVG which will be a VERY tall order for anyone.

Really want to see Paul Lim get through the prelim and face off against Mark Webster.  I'm a fan of Webster however i have a soft spot for the 'older' player and Lim is the last of the 'Golden' era of 80's BDO players still active having made his BDO World Championship debut in 1982 (35 years ago).

We of course cant write off the 16x World Champion Phil Taylor, whose appearing in his last World Championship and will look to go out on a high.  Everyone wrote him off before the 2017 Matchplay and look what he did there, and Rob Cross is having an amazing 2017 and seems like set play.

As usual i am going with a favorite and an outsider

Favorite: MVG to power to his 3rd World Champsionship
Outsider: Rob Cross

Lets see how it goes
