Brendan Dolan – Statistics & current form
Brendan Dolan is taking part in the Players Championship Finals for the 14th time in his current professional career. The 51-year-old had his best result in the PC Finals three years ago. “The History Maker” reached the semi-finals of the Finals in 2021, where he only lost to Ryan Searle.
Since then, there has been a first-round exit in the Players Championship Finals 2022 and a third-round defeat in the PC Finals 2023. This year, the Northern Irish darts pro is likely to face defeat in the first round.
For a Dolan vs. Schindler tip on “The History Maker” there are currently odds of 2.77. Judging by the recent form of the world number 31, it is quite likely that Brendan Dolan will lose to Martin Schindler. There have been four defeats in the last six matches for the 51-year-old.
Is Brendan Dolan doomed to fail again?
The last time the world number 31 from Northern Ireland met a German darts professional, there was a clear defeat against Gabriel Clemens at the European Tour in the Czech Republic. In the best-of-eleven, “The History Maker” lost 1:6 to Clemens and only had an average of 81.30.
Since the defeat against Clemens, Dolan has only scored an average below the 90 mark once. Nevertheless, these statistics should not be overstated – including at the Grand Slam qualifier.
The Northern Irishman has stumbled several times on the big stage. It is therefore also likely that Dolan will have to pack his bags in the first round of the PC Finals 2024. This year, the 51-year-old has already met Martin Schindler twice. Brendan Dolan lost both matches.
Martin Schindler – statistics & current form
Martin Schindler experienced a Grand Slam to forget. After the false start against Cameron Menzies, the native of Strausberg compensated for the defeat with a win against Beau Greaves. But in the group final against Danny Noppert, there was a bitter defeat, which ultimately led to him being knocked out of the Grand Slam in his group.
At the Players Championship Finals 2024, “The Wall” is now out for redemption. In his last three appearances in the PC Finals, Martin Schindler has only been eliminated in the first round once. That defeat came at the start of the 2023 tournament. Martin Schindler had to throw in the towel against Kim Huybrechts.
In the best-of-eleven, “The Wall” lost 5:6 to his Belgian opponent. It should be noted, however, that Schindler only played with an average of 88.59. A similar average might also lead to a defeat against Brendan Dolan.
Is Martin Schindler showing a reaction of defiance?
The defeat against Danny Noppert in the group final of the Grand Slam of Darts 2024 was always going to be bitter. Martin Schindler played with an average of 109.15 against the Dutchman. If he builds on that, “The Wall” shouldn’t have too much trouble in the first round of the upcoming major.
If you want to place a bet on the German darts pro in Dolan vs. Schindler, you can find the best betting options at Bet365. The bookmaker from Stoke-on-Trent offers a wide range of betting opportunities, and you can also bet on who will win the tournament in Minehead.

Brendan Dolan – Martin Schindler Tip
Martin Schindler has a manageable hurdle in the first round of the Players Championship Finals 2024 with Brendan Dolan. In the Grand Slam, “The Wall” recently failed in the group phase by a narrow margin. The group exit was partly due to the defeat in the group final against Danny Noppert.
Although the man from Strausberg played an average of 109.15, he lost 2:5 in a best-of-nine against the twelfth of the world rankings, with the result being mainly due to Martin Schindler’s weak checkout rate. The 23rd of the PDC world rankings only hit two out of eight throws at the doubles.
We now expect a reaction of “The Wall”. Our Dolan vs. Schindler betting tip is aimed at odds of 1.82 for a Schindler win with at least two legs lead. We are betting five units on this.
