Damon Heta and Rob Cross will face off in Round 3 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship on Sunday. The winner of this match between The Heat and Voltage will meet either Luke Littler or Mensur Suljovic in the fourth round. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Damon Heta is back in another third-round clash at the World Championships this year, but has never got beyond this point. He kicked off his campaign with a 3-1 victory over Steve Lennon.

The Heat then survived a stern test to see off Stefan Bellmonth 3-2 in the second round. He hit four 180s and averaged 91.23, while making 55% of his checkout attempts in that match. 

The Aussie has split his last 10 matches, five wins and five losses, but he has come out on top in his last two encounters against his upcoming opponent. 

Meanwhile, former world champion Rob Cross bowed out in round two here last year. However, he got this campaign started with a commanding performance, beating Cor Dekker 3-0. 

Voltage then went on to defeat Ian White in the second round, where he averaged 91.71 with three 180s. He also hit 9/22 attempts at doubles and recorded a highest checkout of 113. 

Cross has won four of his last 10 matches, and last beat this opponent at the Grand Slam of Darts in 2023.

Our Damon Heta vs Rob Cross Prediction

Damon Heta has reached yet another third round at the World Championships and will be hoping that this is the year that he goes beyond. However, he has not been entirely convincing so far, losing three sets in his first two matches. 

Rob Cross has not had the best year, but he has shown improvement here at the Ally Pally, where he pinned a stunning Big Fish to win his opening match against Cor Dekker. This should be a close contest, but we fancy the Englishman to edge the result. Our Damon Heta vs Rob Cross prediction is Rob Cross wins.
