Coleman vs Platt (MODUS Super Series): odds and bets 13.02.2026

This is a quick-turnaround rematch in the MODUS Super Series, and that matters because the format is all about short races: you’re typically looking at a first-to-4-legs match, where one rough patch on doubles can decide the whole thing. There’s no “settling in” period — if you drop your throw early, you’re immediately chasing.

From a betting angle, the market has a very clear lean towards Coleman, and it’s not hard to see why: they played on 12 February and Coleman won 4–0. The key question for me isn’t “can Platt compete?” — it’s whether he can get on the board early and turn it into a scrappy, nervy match where Coleman has to close under pressure rather than freewheeling.

Ashley Coleman

Coleman comes into this one with the confidence boost you want in a repeat fixture: he’s already seen Platt on the same stage and swept him 4–0 yesterday. In this kind of short-format darts, that’s a big psychological edge because you’ve essentially banked a working game plan — you know which finishes you’re getting, you know what kind of pace you’re comfortable at, and you know your opponent can’t just “wait you out”.

What I like about Coleman in these MODUS spots is that his best trait shows up in short races: he tends to build pressure through steady scoring rather than needing constant fireworks. When you’re playing first-to-4, you don’t need to average a million — you need to hold, take one break chance, and keep your doubling tidy. If he repeats anything close to the control he showed in that 4–0, he’ll keep getting first dart at double and that’s usually curtains.

The one thing I’d keep an eye on (because it’s the only way short matches turn) is finishing volatility. If Coleman misses a couple of key doubles early, it can open the door for Platt to steal a leg and suddenly you’re in a different match. But overall, Coleman is priced like a clear favourite for a reason: he’s already demonstrated the matchup suits him and, crucially, he closed the job cleanly last time.

Jonathan Platt

Platt’s position is simple: he needs a response. Getting beaten 4–0 in a first-to-4 match is a red flag because it usually means you didn’t just lose a couple of tight legs — you struggled to create real pressure. The encouraging bit (if you’re looking for one) is that a rematch gives you an immediate chance to correct it: start sharper, tighten the first-visit doubles, and make the favourite actually win legs rather than being gifted them.

For Platt to be competitive here, I think he needs to win the tempo battle. That means quicker scoring in the middle of the leg and, above all, taking out the standard finishes when they appear. In these short races, you might only get one proper look at a double per leg. If you miss it, you often don’t see another. So his route is: hold throw early, nick one break with a timely checkout, and turn it into a 3–3 type of match where anything can happen.

The problem is that Coleman already proved he can keep Platt quiet across four legs, and that’s why I’m not rushing to back the upset. Platt can absolutely improve leg-to-leg — darts form is fickle — but the evidence we have from the immediate head-to-head is that he needs a significant lift in both pressure scoring and finishing just to bring the match into coin-flip territory.

My picks for Coleman vs Platt

BeniThe conservative one

Ashley Coleman to win. Odds 1.25

Normally, I don’t love taking short prices in short-format darts because variance is always lurking. But this is one of the few spots where I’ll accept it, because we’ve got a very fresh read: Coleman beat Platt 4–0 on 12 February. In a first-to-4, a sweep suggests Coleman didn’t just get lucky on a couple of doubles — he controlled the rhythm and kept Platt from getting clean looks. At 1.33, you’re basically betting that Coleman repeats a baseline level and doesn’t have a complete doubles wobble. Given the immediate head-to-head evidence, I’m comfortable using it as the “safer” leg in a small-stakes approach.

BetoThe bold one

Correct score — Ashley Coleman 4–2. Odds 5.00

This is my bigger-price play because it fits the most realistic “Platt improves but not enough” script. After a 4–0 loss, it’s common for the underdog to nick a couple of legs simply through regression — a couple of better visits, one timely checkout, and suddenly it looks competitive on the scoreboard. But over six legs, I still trust Coleman to win more of the key moments, especially if he continues to get first dart at double more often than not. A 4–2 correct score gives you a strong return without needing anything extreme — just a match where Platt shows a bit more fight, yet Coleman remains the superior closer when it matters.
