The second match on Friday evening at the 2025 European Darts Championship will see Gary Anderson taking on Cameron Menzies. The winner of this match between the Flying Scotsman and Cammy will meet either Luke Humphries or Krysztof Ratajski in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After losing to eventual champion Ritchie Edhouse in the quarter-final of this competition in 2024, Gary Anderson returns to Dortmund this year carrying the number 12 seed.
The Flying Scotsman has had another good year, winning his second consecutive European Darts Grand Prix title and the PC7, while he also reached the quarter-final of the World Grand Prix.
Anderson has not played a televised tournament since the World Grand Prix and has a record of seven wins and three defeats in his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, Cameron Menzies is one of three players who will be making their European Darts Championship debut this year and enters the competition as the 21st seed.
Cammy has enjoyed an excellent season to this point, notching up his second PDC ranking title at the Players Championship 11, while he also got to the quarter-final of the World Grand Prix.
Menzies bowed out in the third round of the German Darts Championship last week and has split his last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats.

Our Gary Anderson vs Cameron Menzies Prediction
Cameron Menzies has had a breakthrough year in 2025 and pulled off a couple of big upsets at the World Grand Prix last month, when he got to the quarter-final before bowing out to world number one Luke Humphries.
However, Cammy is now set to face another formidable opponent in Gary Anderson, who has enjoyed plenty of success in this competition over the past decade. The veteran has won five of his last six matches against this opponent, and we feel he will add to that tally in this one. Our Gary Anderson vs Cameron Menzies prediction is Gary Anderson wins.
