Chris Dobey and Martin Lukeman will meet on Day 3 of the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts on Monday evening. Hollywood leads the Group B standings with four points, while Smash is bottom with no points. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Chris Dobey lived up to his favourites tag in Group B by clinching his place in the second round of the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts with a commanding 5-1 victory over Damon Heta on Sunday afternoon.
Hollywood hit three 180s and recorded a solid average of 95.17. He also made 50% of his attempts on doubles and pinned a stunning 129 checkout, which was his highest in the match.
Dobey won the Players Championship 33 a couple of weeks ago and has only lost one of his last 15 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Martin Lukeman’s hopes of qualifying for the second round of this competition were brought ot an end on Sunday when he suffered his second group-stage defeat, 5-4 to Jerjen van der Velde.
Smash looked out of rhythm from the off and only averaged 79.90 with one 180 recorded in the match. He had 18 attempts on doubles but hit just four, and had a highest checkout of 89.
Lukeman is now on a four-match losing streak in all competitions, but he has won all three of his previous matches against this opponent.
