Peter Wright vs Jim Williams Prediction: A tough contest expected

Peter Wright and Jim Williams are set to face off at Alexandra Palace in the ongoing PDC World Championship Round of 1/32. In this matchup, Peter Wright is the favored player, while Jim Williams is considered the underdog.

Peter Wright is currently on a challenging streak, having lost four out of his last five matches. Despite this, he enters this upcoming match as the favorite, and the Scottish player is determined to reverse his recent struggles. His sole victory during this period was against Dave Chisnall in the Darts Grand Slam. However, he faced defeats against Jamie Hughes, Nathan Rafferty, Stowe Buntz, and Stephen Bunting. Now ranked as the number 4 player in the world, Peter Wright is eager to rediscover his top form and secure a win in this match.

Jim Williams recently secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Norman Madhoo in the round of 1/16 of the PDC World Championship round of 1/64. Before this success, however, he experienced consecutive defeats against Damon Heta and Dmitri Van den Bergh, with match scores of 8-4 and 6-4, respectively. Despite these setbacks, Jim Williams managed to notch two other wins in his last five matches, defeating Danny Noppert and Damon Heta.

Given Peter Wright's recent struggles, it's anticipated that this match will be closely contested. However, Jim Williams also possesses distinctive qualities, notably highlighted by his victory over Peter Wright in their previous meeting last year. Despite this, considering the unpredictable nature of the contest, it might be advisable to have Jim Williams cover the spread in this matchup.
