Day 5 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will conclude with Connor Scutt taking on Simon Whitlock on Monday evening. The winner of this match between The Sniper and The Wizard will meet Gary Anderson in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Connor Scutt secured his place at the 2026 World Championships via the PDC Order of Merit. This is his third appearance - he reached the second round in the last two editions of the competition.
The Sniper has not won a title this year, but he did reach the last 16 at the Grand Slam of Darts, the last 32 at the UK Open, and recorded a semi-final run in the Players Championship.
Scutt has won four of his last 10 matches in all competitions, but he does lead the head-to-head against opponent 3-2.
Meanwhile, Simon Whitlock is one of the most recognisable faces in the darts world. This will be his 17th appearance at the Ally Pally - his best performance was finishing as the runner-up in 2010.
At 56, The Wizard no longer competes in as many tournaments as he used to, but he did give Luke Littler a few scares at the WSOD finals. He represented Australia at the World Cup and reached the quarter-final.
The Aussie has lost his last five listed matches ahead of this one, but he did beat this opponent in their last encounter at PC23 in September 2024.
