MICHAEL VAN GERWEN and Peter Wright will battle to top the final 2017 European Tour Order of Merit when the year's £135,000 tournaments conclude with the HappyBet European Darts Trophy this weekend.

The year's 12th European Tour event will see a 48-player field competing at the Lokhalle this weekend, with coverage being streamed online through PDCTV-HD and a series of bookmakers' websites worldwide.

With both Van Gerwen and Wright having won five European Tour events apiece this year, the pair will be battling to top the final rankings this weekend with the top seeding for the Unibet European Championship on offer.

Austria's Mensur Suljovic has withdrawn for family reasons, meaning that the highest ranked qualifier from the ProTour Order of Merit, Stephen Bunting, steps up to become the 16th seed and a fifth Host Nation Qualifier will be found on Thursday night.

Friday's first round will feature the 32 qualifiers as they compete across two sessions at the Lokhalle.

Multiple TV event winner James Wade will take on former World Youth Championship finalist Nathan Aspinall, while former World Grand Prix winner Robert Thornton plays Polish ace Krzysztof Ratajski, who recently won the World Masters event.

Kevin Painter takes on Andy Boulton, former World Youth Champion Keegan Brown faces Jonathan Worsley, James Wilson plays Latvia's Madars Razma and Dutch duo Christian Kist and Jan Dekker clash.

Mick Todd and Jermaine Wattimena open the event, while Yordi Meeuwisse takes on Jamie Caven, James Richardson meets young Belgian Dimitri Van den Bergh, Ricky Evans plays Austria's Zoran Lerchbacher and Chris Quantock will play Steve West.

Former Austrian Darts Open winner Vicnent van der Voort, Wednesday's Players Championship winner Jonny Clayton, John Bowles and youngsters Chris Dobey and Jeffrey de Zwaan are all awaiting German opposition in the first round.

The 16 seeded players enter the tournament in Saturday's second round, with the tournament concluding on Sunday with the third round in the afternoon session and the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final in the evening session.

[ssjsa]

Bunting now 16th seed following the withdrawal of Suljovic. However as he qualified for this as a non seed will keep his money on the OOM should he lose his 2nd round match.

[ChrisW]

Ratta got to get past the thorn then.

[Ginge]

Ratta got to get past the thorn then.

And then probably win again given how tight it is around the 16-19th places at the moment.
