A crucial Group B matchup on Day 3 in the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts will see Damon Heta take on Jurjen van der Velde on Monday evening. The Heat and van der Velde are second and third in the group standings, respectively, with two points each. Let’s get into the match prediction!
After an impressive victory over Martin Lukeman on opening night, Damon Heta’s momentum was halted on Sunday when he proved to match for Chris Dobey, who surged to a 5-1 win over the Aussie.
The Heat only managed a three-dart average of 83.26, which included one 180 to Hollywood’s three. He also made just one of four attempts at the outer ring for a checkout of 48.
Heta’s record now reads as four wins and six losses in his last 10 matches in all competitions. This is the first time he will face this opponent on the pro circuit.
Meanwhile, Jurjen van der Velde kept his hopes of reaching the second round of the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts by securing a 5-4 victory over now-eliminated Martin Lukeman on Sunday.
Van der Velde dominated all statistical categories against the Englishman, including 180s (3), three-dart average (83.83), checkout percentage (26.32%) and the highest checkout (110).
The Dutchman has now won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions, but it is worth noting that all but one of those wins were in the Modus Super Series.
