It's no surprise that Michael van Gerwen has been named the bookies' favourite for the Champions League of Darts.
Tournament sponsors Paddy Power have published their odds for September's showdown in Brighton. Van Gerwen, despite failing his last two attempts to win the Champions League of Darts, is at 4/5 to make it third time lucky. He is also the clear 1/9 favourite to reach the semi-finals, and is at 3/10 to win Group A.
World Matchplay champion Gary Anderson features alongside van Gerwen in Group A. The Flying Scotsman, who also won the UK Open in March, is second-favourite at 4/1. World champion Rob Cross is at 7/1 to take the title, while world number two Peter Wright is at 15/2.
Mensur Suljovic returns to Brighton as the Champions League title holder. Bettors can throw their support behind the popular Austrian at a price of 10/1. He's followed by Dave Chisnall, who is a 25/1 outside shot.
Daryl Gurney and Simon Whitlock are the rank outsiders to claim glory, according to Paddy Power. The two 2017 World Grand Prix finalists are 33/1 to win the title. Gurney can be picked at the same odds to win Group A, while Whitlock is a 13/2 pick to win Group B.
Phil Taylor won the inaugural Champions League of Darts in Cardiff two years ago. Suljovic saw off Anderson to claim the title in 2017. This year the event moves to Brighton in a move which "delighted" PDC chairman Barry Hearn.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
