Damon Heta and Joe Cullen will face off in the third match at the 2025 World Series of Darts finals at the AFAS Live in Amsterdam on Friday. The winner of this clash between the Heat and Rockstar will face either Mike De Decker or Gabriel Clemens in round two. Let’s get into the match prediction.
As one of the World Series Order of Merit qualifiers, Damon Heta is back for a second consecutive WSOD campaign this year after reaching the last 16 in the competition in 2024.
The Heat has had an impressive season, notching up two Players Championship titles (PC13 and PC20), while he also has a European Tour final appearance under his belt in 2025.
Heta lost in the opening round of the PC27 competition on Wednesday and has split his last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats, across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Joe Cullen secured his place in this competition via the Tour Card Holder Qualifiers and will be returning to the WSOD for the first time since 2022 - it is his fourth all-time appearance.
Rockstar began the year strongly by reaching the final of PC1 (lost to Rob Cross) before winning his first ranking title since 2022 at the PC5, beating Gian van Veen 8-7.
Cullen will also enter this competition full of confidence after winning the PC27 tournament in midweek, when he beat Gerwyn Price 8-7 in a thrilling final.

Our Damon Heta vs Joe Cullen Prediction
Damon Heta has had a solid year and has typically saved his best performances for the biggest stages, as we saw at PC13 and PC20, where he beat Nathan Aspinall and Stephen Bunting, respectively, to win the titles.
Joe Cullen, on the other hand, has produced a few notable results lately, capped off by that victory in the PC27 last week. However, he has not beaten this opponent since the World Championship in 2022, and we feel he will struggle to do so in this one as well. Our Damon Heta vs Joe Cullen prediction is Damon Heta wins the match.
