Defending champions England have been unveiled as the 4/11 pre-tournament favourites for the BetVictor World Cup of Darts ahead of the annual 40-nation event.
The excitement is building as the BetVictor World Cup of Darts prepares to kick off, with England emerging as the clear frontrunners this year. The team features a formidable pairing: Luke Humphries and Luke Littler, both of whom are ranked among the world’s elite players. This marks the first-time collaboration between these two top contenders, and fans are eager to see how their combined talent can propel them to a sixth title for England.
Humphries, the Premier League champion, and Littler, the reigning World Champion, are highly regarded for their exceptional skills and consistency in the sport. BetVictor’s odds of 4/11 reflect a strong belief in their capabilities to deliver under pressure and retain the championship title on Sunday, June 15, in Frankfurt. The stakes are high, and the anticipation among fans and punters alike is palpable.
In the chase for the title, Wales stands as the second favourites, listed at 7/2. The duo of Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton aims to make history by clinching their third World Cup triumph together. Their synergy on the oche has proven effective in the past, and they are more than capable of challenging for the title once again.
Meanwhile, Scotland, represented by the renowned duo Peter Wright and Gary Anderson, comes in with odds of 14/1. With past experience and an unwavering competitive spirit, they hope to add a third World Cup title to Scotland’s record, making their matches a must-watch for darts enthusiasts.
The betting landscape also includes Belgium and the Netherlands, who are both positioned at 18/1, while hosts Germany and fourth seeds Northern Ireland come in at 20/1. Surprisingly, 2024 finalists Austria are offered at 33/1, as they look to surpass last year’s performance and take the crown this time around. Australia, last year’s winners at 28/1, will be hunting for additional glory and a chance to prove their mettle again.
Sam Boswell, Head of Sponsorship and Media at BetVictor, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are delighted to once again be supporting the World Cup of Darts. This unique event is a huge hit with darts fans, and the pairing of the two Lukes for the first time is bound to add to the excitement.” He further elaborated on the competitive landscape, noting factors that could influence betting patterns and fan engagement, emphasizing how some pairings might exceed expectations.
BetVictor’s offerings include not just standard betting options but also exciting propositions. One highlight, for instance, involves odds of 9/1 on the possibility of any pair achieving a nine-darter during the tournament—an extraordinary feat that could electrify the atmosphere in Frankfurt even further.
