World Cup Of Darts Prediction

It really is tricky to predict an overall winner of the 2022 World Cup of Darts. There are so many teams who on their day could win it.

Just look at the past few years, with Austria reaching the final against Scotland last year. They ended up getting beat but nobody would have ever predicted them to reach the final.

Something similar happened in 2019, when the Republic of Ireland duo of Steve Lennon and William O’Connor reached the final, but in the end got defeated by the Scottish duo of Gary Anderson and Peter Wright.

England, who are the number one seeds for the World Cup, haven’t won the event since 2016, so they will be hopeful of putting that right this time. The English duo of James Wade and Michael Smith looks a strong one, with Wade reaching the semi-finals of the Premier League recently and ‘Bully Boy’ winning three pro-tour events in a row.

However, none of the teams we have mentioned so far are our selection for the 2022 World Cup of Darts. Here at SportsLens, we have selected Northern Ireland to win, and here is why.

The Northern Irish duo of Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan is one of the strongest pairs on paper. It wasn’t so long ago that Gurney was a regular in the Premier League, as well as being world number three at one stage.

His partner, ‘The History Maker’, on his day is a superb darts player in his own right. Dolan has won numerous Players Championships over the years, as well as having some stellar showings in darts majors such as reaching the quarter-final of the World Championships in 219, and more recently getting to the semi-final o the Players Championships Finals in 2021.

As a pair, ‘Superchin’ and ‘The History Maker’ haven’t quite reached the levels they are capable off, but we know just how good they can both be individually, so it’s just a matter of putting the pieces of the jigsaw all together now.

Northern Ireland should win their First Round match with relative ease, and after that it’s a lottery as to who they get. They could get lucky and have a more favourable run, or they could meet the likes of England or Wales in the second round.

We think that at a huge price of 18/1 with Bet UK, that Northern Ireland have what it takes to win the Cazoo 2022 World Cup of Darts for the very first time.
