The 2026 World Series of Darts Finals continues on Sunday with Dirk van Duijvenbode taking on Gian van Veen in the quarter-finals. The Giant is the number-three-ranked player in the world, and our prediction is that he will progress to the final four from this match.
Dirk van Duijvenbode beat Viktor Tingstrom in the opening round before pulling off the biggest shock of the WSOD Finals to date, beating Luke Humphries 10-9 in Round 2 on Saturday.
The Titan rallied from 6-3 down to pull off that victory. He averaged 101.14 in that match, including eight 180s, while converting 45% of his checkout attempts and a highest checkout of 80.
Van Duijvenbode has won five and lost five of his last 10 matches in all competitions. He has won four of his last five matches against his upcoming opponent.
Meanwhile, after reaching the semi-final at the Flanders Darts Trophy, Gian van Veen has carried that form into this competition. He has beaten Chris Dobey and Karel Sedlacek.
Against Sedlacek in the last round, the Giant pinned six 180s and averaged 101.52. He converted a solid 53% of his checkout attempts, including a highest checkout of 160.
Van Veen has won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions. While he has lost four of his last five matches against this opponent, he did win the most recent encounter in September last year.

Our Dirk van Duijvenbode vs Gian Van Veen Prediction
Dirk van Duijvenbode is no stranger to pulling off massive upsets, as we saw en route to the semi-finals at the World Matchplay, and he managed the biggest one of this competition by defeating Luke Humphries.
However, consistency has not been the Titan's strength in recent years, which is something that has helped Gian van Veen reach third place in the PDC Order of Merit. This should be an entertaining matchup between the two local lads, but we fancy the Giant to get the win. Our Dirk van Duijvenbode vs Gian Van Veen prediction is Gian Van Veen wins.
