The action on Day 6 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship gets underway with Alan Soutar taking on Teemu Harju on Tuesday. The winner of this match between Soots and The Flying Finn will meet Gian van Veen in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Alan Soutar is back at the Ally Pally for his fourth consecutive World Championships. His best performances at this competition were reaching the last 16 back-to-back in 2022 and 2023.
Soots has not won a major title this year. Some of his standout results this year include a quarter-final showing at PC25 and reaching the last 32 at the UK Open 2025.
Soutar was beaten by Luke Woodhouse in the opening round of the PC finals last month and has only won three of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Teemu Harju will be making his World Championship debut this year, having won the PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship in October by beating Edwin Torbjornsson 8-2 in the final.
That victory was his standout moment of the year, though he also captured the Event Seven title in Finland. The Flying Finn featured in the Australian and Dutch Darts Championships but suffered early eliminations.
Harju has lost each of his last three listed matches on the European Tour.
