The Nordic Darts Masters will get underway on Friday, with Chris Dobey taking on Jeffrey de Graaf in the opening match of the competition. Hollywood is ranked eighth in the world, while The Rebel is ranked 59th. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Chris Dobey enters the first round of the Nordic Darts Masters as the clear favourite following a quarter-final appearance at the European Tour 8 competition over the weekend.
Hollywood had a difficult run during the Premier League this season, finishing sixth with 17 points, though it did notch up a nightly win and two runner-up finishes.
Dobey’s also posted the third-best checkout rate during the Premier League of 11.70, and his record now stands at five wins and five losses in his last 10 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Jeffrey de Graaf will be making his first televised appearance since bowing out in the first round of the Players Championship 16 in the middle of May.
Prior to that, The Rebel reached the quarter-final at PC15 before losing 6-5 to 101st-ranked Justin Hood. His recent record now includes five wins and five defeats in his last 10 matches.
De Graaf has faced Dobey three times in the past - all in 2024 - and lost all three matches (6-5, 6-2, 6-5).

Our Chris Dobey vs Jeffrey de Graaf Prediction
While Chris Dobey’s Premier League season did not go as he would have hoped, he still managed to record the fourth-most 180s in the competition, and he pinned a further 12 at the European Tour 8 competition over the weekend.
Jeffrey de Graaf is coming off a fairly lengthy layoff, and it remains to be seen exactly what type of form he is in at the moment. However, we fancy the Englishman to dominate the scoring in this one. Our Chris Dobey vs Jeffrey de Graaf prediction is Chris Dobey most 180s.
