Littler v MVG: Head-to-head record
- Overall Head-to-Head: 6-6
- Televised Head-to-Head: 5-6
Michael van Gerwen was asked before the World Championship began whether he was 'scared' of Luke Littler and of course the answer was "no", combined with one of his dismissive smiles.
"I'm not playing my best and he still doesn't beat me more than I beat him. You know what I mean? So that might be an answer.
"Am I scared of him? Not a chance."
The three-time world champion, who openly admitted he'd had a poor season with 'just' four titles and none of them majors, was correct to point out the head-to-head record was level, while he's actually marginally ahead when it comes to televised meetings.
One of those came in the first round of the World Matchplay when van Gerwen ran out a 10-6 winner in a clash where both players averaged over 100, although Littler did wipe the floor with the Dutchmen in their two showdowns since then.
In September he crushed him 11-4 en route to the World Series of Darts Finals title in September with an average of 107.95 while another spectacular performance followed on the European Tour when reaching 110.57 in a 6-1 thrashing. MVG managed 112.19 that day too!
If those last three meetings are anything to go by, they've clearly got used to each other's styles and stage presences throughout the season and bring out the best of each other.
Ignoring Premier League nightly 'finals', tonight isn't their first clash with a trophy on the line. Back in January they traded titles at the Bahrain Darts Masters and the Dutch Darts Masters, so a year on it's the climax of a very unofficial 'seasonal trilogy'.

We always hear it said that averages are just a guide - and it's true. Especially in set play.
And when you get to the World Championship final, both players are generally going to have pretty similar tournament averages having worked their way through a high class field to battle it out for the richest prize in darts.
Littler's 102.13 average isn't that much higher than MVG's 99.75 but I think the key point here is that the 17-year-old has managed to go above 100 in four of his five matches, while his lowest of 97.84 is still higher than two of MVG's performances - a 94.85 vs James Hurrell and a 97.01 vs Brendan Dolan.
Remarkably, the 17-year-old has averaged over 100+ on this stage nine times since his debut and only eight players have managed that more times. Just look how many campaigns they've had though!
We'll go into it more during the route to the final section, but Littler has been getting more and more relaxed as the tournament progresses, and you just sense he's ready to explode and find another phenomenal level.
It certainly helps that he's been here before, and even in just 12 months, he's picked up so much of experience of winning titles, milking big crowds and dealing with the insane media pressure that he won't be overawed by the occasion.
As you might expect, Littler bosses the 180s count and he's already wrapped up the Ballon d'Art award for most maximums having opened up a lead of 21 over MVG.
Interestingly he needs 20 more 180s to break Michael Smith's tournament record of 83 and he's 4/9 to do that.
As for van Gerwen, it's been a very steady campaign from a performance perspective by his own high standards.
He came into this tournament with very valid question marks over his seasonal form and while he did send out a very strong warning to his rivals by overcoming Callan Rydz in an absolute thriller with an average of over 103, I don't feel he's done enough to make anyone think the scary, dominating MVG of old is back.
Littler v MVG: 2024 Season Stats
- Three-dart average: 99.28 - 97.19
- 180s per leg: 0.40 - 0.28
- Checkout % (2024): 41.40% - 41.01%
- Titles in 2024: 10-4 (TV: 5-0)
This is largely irrelevant compared to the tournament statistics but I thought I'd just squeeze it in to confirm that Littler's leads in averages and 180s per leg at the Ally Pally is also reflected by what they've done all season.
The only difference is that MVG's checkout percentage is fractionally worse over the season but better throughout this World Championship. Feel free to shrug your shoulders at that info!
You've also probably heard it a million times over the past few weeks but Littler also managed 10 titles throughout the season, including the Grand Slam of Darts, Premier League and World Series of Darts Finals, whereas MVG didn't manage any majors in his four.

As much as Luke Littler got off to an uncharacteristically nervy and emotional start against Ryan Meikle, that was also the match where we saw a short - yet breathtaking - glimpse of his crazy abilities on the dart board.
Despite looking jittery throughout, he averaged a world record 140.91 for the final set and came agonisingly close to his fifth nine-darter of the year when missing double 12. That was one of just four darts out of 32 in the set that missed their intended target!
While that didn't inspire him enough to find top gear against Ian White in his next match, Ryan Joyce forced him to raise the bar in the fourth round otherwise he'd probably have crashed out.
That was easily Littler's biggest scare so far but after that he's cruised past Nathan Aspinall and Stephen Bunting in ominous fashion and I feel his standards in this showdown with MVG will only go one way. And it's not down.
He's won 11 of his 12 matches on this stage overall and has averaged over 100 on nine occasions. The longer the format, the more dangerous he becomes and I expect another high octane display tonight.

Whereas Luke Littler survived one scare to reach his second World Championship final, you could argue that Michael van Gerwen has found himself embroiled in three tough tests to reach his seventh.
It was no real surprise to see Brendan Dolan give him an awkward challenge in the early rounds given the clash of styles while Jeffrey de Graaf's stunning mid-match spell of darts he produced against MVG would have troubled anyone.
He actually lost more legs than he won against Callan Rydz before coming through an absolute thriller that would have broken the record for the most 180s in a best-of-nine set match had the Geordie managed to take it to a decider.
MVG has always found the answers so far - which is the obviously the most important quality in darts - but there's going to be a lot of serious questions posed tonight.
World Championship final predictions and tips
As you might have already gathered, I really do feel the stage is set for Luke Littler to fittingly complete the most ridiculous debut season ever seen by defeating one of the greatest legends in darts history.
It couldn't have been scripted any better by the Sporting Gods (who do exist FYI).
And while I do try to make predictions with my head rather than listing to my old sporting romantic heart, all the logic and statistics point the way of Littler as well.
If this was a normal 17-year-old thrust into the limelight, then Michael van Gerwen would have a massive advantage of experience.
Apart from Phil Taylor, nobody has ever handled the biggest occasions as dominantly - and as frequently - as the formidable Dutchman and like he said in his interview after crushing Chris Dobey, he's done this too many times to be nervous.
MVG is not fazed by Littler but deep down he knows it's going to take one of his finest displays in recent times - perhaps even his very best - to claim what would be a highly emotional fourth world title.
That's not to say van Gerwen will play poorly and I actually expect to see a pair of 100+ averages like we saw 12 months ago when Luke Humphries beat Littler by a 7-4 scoreline.
MVG managed averages of 99.58, 102.88 and 100.66 in the World Championship finals that he lost in 2023 (7-4 to Smith), 2020 (7-3 to Wright) and 2013 (7-4 to Taylor) while he unsurprisingly managed the feat in the three that he won in 2014 (7-4 v Wright), 2017 (7-3 v Anderson) & 2019 (7-3 v Smith).
The runner-up has averaged over 100 nine times in the 16 Ally Pally editions and if Littler does run riot and prevent MVG having 'that' many attempts at doubles, then it'll only help this bet.
Finally, regular readers of my previews will know I'm going to back a nine-dart finish like I have in every Littler game.
Strictly speaking, I perhaps don't need to at 5/1 because I also tipped three or more in the tournament at 4/1 right at the start. However, I can't expect everyone to be in that position, so I'll advise it again.
Sure, he hasn't as close as he did against Meikle in his first match but I've lost count of the number of legs he's kicked off with 180s and also recorded back-to-back maximums.
Even if he wins 7-0 tonight, I do envisage a couple of opportunities to take out 141 and finally win his battle with double 12.
Oh, and if Littler doesn't manage it, I'm sure van Gerwen is more than able to give us a run for our money too!
