World Darts Championship Day 6 Accumulator @ 9/4 – BoyleSports
Leg 1: Scott Williams vs Paolo Nebrida – Scott Williams Over 2.5 180s
Best price of 1/4 with BoyleSports at the time of publishing
Scott Williams' clash with Paolo Nebrida looks set to be one of the most intriguing matches on Tuesday afternoon’s schedule. Both players have made waves on this stage in recent years, with Williams making a surprise surge to the semi-finals in 2024, while Nebrida caused a stir by reaching round three 12 months ago.
This game has the potential to go the distance, possibly requiring all five sets, which should see plenty of 180s being scored. Williams is well known for his showmanship, which is closely tied to his heavy scoring ability. He’ll be keen to get the Ally Pally crowd on their feet at every opportunity, and a minimum of three maximums should be well within reach against Nebrida.
Leg 2: Chris Dobey vs Xiao Chen Zong – Chris Dobey Win & Most 180s
Best price of 1/3 with Spreadex at the time of publishing
Chris Dobey will be targeting another deep run at this year's World Darts Championship. After reaching the quarter-finals in 2024, Hollywood went even further last year by making it to the final four.
As the pre-match odds suggest, Dobey should ease into the tournament by seeing off Xiao Chen Zong. While the Pandaman has become a familiar fixture at Alexandra Palace in recent years, his stays have tended to be short-lived, suffering first-round exits in each of his last three appearances.
Dobey has long been one of the most reliable 180 hitters on the PDC and should comfortably march into the next round - likely winning the maximum battle for good measure.
Leg 3: Ricardo Pietreczko vs Jose De Sousa – Ricardo Pietreczko +1.5 Handicap
Best price of 1/3 with Bet365 at the time of publishing
Ricardo Pietreczko will be aiming for another strong showing at this year's World Darts Championship. Pikachu went as far as the last 16 last year, his best run to date.
Pietreczko produced one of his standout performances of the year when defeating Josh Rock at the European Championship at the end of October. If he can replicate that level of play on Tuesday night, he should prove too strong for Jose De Sousa.
The Special One has struggled to live up to his nickname in recent years, suffering from poor form and achieving little of note on television. As a result, backing Pietreczko with a +1.5 set advantage looks like a solid option for the accumulator.
Leg 4: Danny Noppert vs Jurjen van der Velde – Danny Noppert -1.5 Handicap
Best price of 4/11 with Bet365 at the time of publishing.
There is an all-Dutch affair at the Ally Pally on Tuesday night, as Danny Noppert takes on Jurjen van der Velde.
Noppert shapes up as one of the most compelling dark horses at this year’s showpiece, backed by a consistently strong 2025 on the PDC tour and multiple semi-final runs in major televised events.
The Freeze’s numbers have also been impressive, particularly his 180 output. If Noppert continues to perform at the level he has shown this year, he should see off his less experienced compatriot by at least a couple of sets.
Leg 5: Gerwyn Price vs Adam Gawlas – Gerwyn Price To Win 3-0
Best price of 19/20 with UniBet at the time of publishing.
If anyone can upstage the two Lukes at the top of the outright betting, it’s Gerwyn Price.
The Iceman is back in form and looking like his old, unstoppable self. It feels less a question of if and more when he ends his major trophy drought - and Tuesday night against Adam Gawlas looks like the perfect chance to kick things off.
Unsurprisingly, Price is a short 1/25 for the win here, but backing him to triumph without dropping a set boosts the odds to a much more enticing 19/20 with UniBet.
Fired up and eager to make an early statement of intent, the Welshman looks well placed to steamroll past Czech outsider Gawlas with a straight sets victory.
