The evening session on Day 13 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship gets underway with Danny Noppert taking on Justin Hood. The winner of this match between Noppie and Happy Feet will meet either Jonny Tata or Ryan Meikle in the third round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a very disappointing performance at the Ally Pally last year, Danny Noppert made a strong start to this campaign, securing an impressive 3-1 first-round victory over Jurjen van der Velde.
Noppie recorded one of the higher three-dart averages in the opening round (96.62), which included seven 180s. He was also very good with his finishing, converting 43.48% checkout attempts and recording a highest checkout of 135.
Noppert has been one of the most consistent pro players this year and has won seven of his last 10 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, after earning his first Tour Card this year, Justin Hood produced a stunning performance to defeat 57th-ranked Nick Kenny in straight sets on debut at the Ally Pally in round one.
Hood had the fourth-highest three-dart average of the opening round (99.59), which included five 180s. He made 42.86% of his double attempts and recorded a highest checkout of 104.
While Noppert is one of the PDC’s elite, Hood has beaten the Dutchman in their last two encounters, including at PC25 in August this year.

Our Danny Noppert vs Justin Hood Prediction
If you ignore rankings and records and focus purely on the performances of these two players from the first round of this competition, it will come as a huge shock to see just how much of an outsider Justin Hood is in this contest.
We will say that we are expecting Danny Noppert to go deep at the World Championships this year, but we doubt the Dutchman will be able to defeat Hood with a whitewash in this one. Our Danny Noppert vs Justin Hood prediction is Justin Hood +2.5.
