Peter Wright vs Michael van Gerwen Prediction: Michael Gerwen will not disappoint

The Professional Darts Corporation will be hosting the tournament for the third time in 2023 as part of the Viaplay Nordic Darts Masters, which will also serve as the second event in the 2023 World Series of Darts. On January 20 and 21, 2023, the event will take place at the Forum Copenhagen in Copenhagen, Denmark. There will be a total of 16 players competing in the tournament, including eight "elite" PDC professionals and eight regional qualifiers.

As a result of Peter Wright's poor performance versus Michael van Gerwen in their prior encounters, van Gerwen will be looking to improve his record against Wright in this one. However, in order for this to work, he will need to perform at a very high level. When we look at the latest matches played by the darts player ranked second in the world, we see that he has three wins and two losses. However, his performance in the 1/8 round yesterday against Swedish Dennis Nilsson was awful, and if he continues to play in this manner, he may not have a chance against van Gerwen.

This match is going to start out with Michael van Gerwen as the favorite. After losing to Michael Smith in the PDC final earlier this month, the Dutch player swiftly got back to winning ways and won multiple tournaments in a row. Michael van Gerwen secured his spot in this round of the Nordic Darts Masters quarterfinals with a victory over Andreas Harrysson in his opening match of day one of the competition. The score of the match was 6-3.

We have no doubt that Michael van Gerwen will emerge victorious from this competition. The Dutch professional player is in better form than Peter Wright, and he also has a solid victory record over Wright; therefore, we anticipate that he will continue that trend against Wright.
