Van Gerwen favourite for Unibet European Championship

Michael van Gerwen (PDC)

Michael van Gerwen is the 6/4 favourite to claim a third successive TV title at the Unibet European Championship this weekend.

The Dutchman has won the World Grand Prix and Champions League of Darts over the past two weeks, and will travel to Goettingen in confident mood as he targets a fifth European Championship success.

World Champion Van Gerwen is the 6/4 pre-tournament favourite with sponsors Unibet, with 2017 finalist Rob Cross the 8/1 second favourite.

Sunday's Champions League of Darts runner-up Peter Wright is the 9/1 third favourite ahead of Gerwyn Price (12/1) and 2016 finalist Mensur Suljovic (14/1).

UK Open champion Nathan Aspinall and 2018 Players Championship Finals winner Daryl Gurney are 16/1 chances to take the £120,000 title, ahead of debutant Glen Durrant and World Championship finalist Michael Smith (both 18/1).

Reigning European Champion James Wade is 28/1 to retain the title on Sunday night.

Van Gerwen is a heavy 1/9 favourite to win his first round tie with Ross Smith, with Cross 1/5 as he takes on Darren Webster in Thursday's opening night.
