The first round of the 2025 World Series of Darts finals resumes on Saturday afternoon with Chris Dobey taking on Luke Woodhouse in the opening match. The winner of this match between Hollywood and Woody will face either Cameron Menzies or Peter Wright in round two. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Chris Dobey is back at the WSOD finals for a second successive year and will be looking to improve on the quarter-final run he managed in 2024.
This year has been an impressive one for Hollywood, as he has won two Players Championships and reached the semis of the World Championships. He also notched up a nightly win in the Premier League.
Since losing to Luke Humphries in the semi-final of the New Zealand Masters last month, Dobey has suffered back-to-back first-round eliminations on the European Tour. He is now 5-5 in his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, Luke Woodhouse will be making his World Series of Darts finals debut this year, having qualified for the competition as a Tour Card Holder.
The highlight of Woody’s year so far was reaching the 2025 European Darts Grand Prix semi-final by beating the likes of Michael Smith and his upcoming opponent, Dobey.
Woodhouse reached the third round of the Players Championship 26 and 27 in the last week and is now 6-4 in his last 10 matches across all competitions.

Our Chris Dobey vs Luke Woodhouse Prediction
Luke Woodhouse will be making his World Series of Darts debut here, but progressing to the second round will be a tough ask against Chris Dobey, who has been duking it out with the PDC elite for most of this year.
Hollywood already has two Major titles to his name this year and held his own in the Premier League after a slow start. Woodhouse won when these two met in May, but we fancy Dobey to get his revenge in this one. Our Chris Dobey vs Luke Woodhouse prediction is Chris Dobey wins the match.
