Monday’s 2026 World Matchplay action will draw to a close with Danny Noppert taking on Rob Cross. The last three matches between these two were decided by very tight margins, and our prediction is that this one could go down to the wire.
Danny Noppert has enjoyed an impressive year and enters the 2026 World Matchplay as the number 10 seed, six above last year when he reached the second round of the competition.
Noppey has not won a PDC title this year but has maintained a consistent standard throughout, with a dramatic appearance at the World Championship and reaching the quarter-finals at the Players Championship 24.
The Freeze suffered a 6-2 loss to Sebastian Bialecki in the opening round of the European Darts Open last week. He has won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, having missed out on an automatic top-16 seeding, Rob Cross is the ultimate “unseeded floater” and the player all the seeds will want to avoid in the 2026 World Matchplay.
Voltage emphatically broke his 54-event ProTour drought in mid-June by winning the Players Championship 22 in Wigan, beating Maik Kuivenhoven in the final of that competition.
Cross lost to Max Hopp in the first round of the European Darts Open last week and has also won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions. He lost to Noppert 6-4 at PC24 earlier this month.
