The second round at the 2025 European Darts Championship will see Daryl Gurney taking on Ross Smith on Saturday evening in Dortmund. The winner of this match between SuperChin and Smudger will meet either Chris Dobey or Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-final. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Daryl Gurney booked his spot in the second round of the European Darts Championship for a third year in a row by beating one of the tournament favourites Gerwyn Price 6-3 in his opener.
SuperChin failed to record a single 180 and averaged lower than Price throughout the match, but the major difference came on the double, where he pinned 54.55% to the Iceman’s 17.65%.
Gurney now has a record of five wins and five defeats in his last 10 matches, but he has beaten his upcoming opponent in their two meetings this year.
Meanwhile, Ross Smith has already gone one better than his first-round exit from last year, having seen off Peter Wright with relative ease 6-2 in his opening match of the competition.
Smudger only managed one maximum but had a better three-dart average (94.95) than Snakebite (93.61). He made 46.15% of attempts on the double and produced a highest checkout of 128.
That result would have been a welcome one for Smith, given that it was just his second win in his last seven matches in all competitions.

Our Daryl Gurney vs Ross Smith Prediction
Both these players went into their first-round clashes as underdogs against two of the PDC’s veterans, and they held their own despite not carrying the best form into this year’s European Darts Championship.
However, there is a case to be made that Price and Wright were not at it in their opening matches, and neither Gurney nor Smith did enough to suggest that they will be able to dominate this next matchup. Therefore, our Daryl Gurney vs Ross Smith prediction is over 15.5 legs.
