Round 3’s afternoon session on Sunday at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will conclude with Gary Anderson taking on Jermaine Wattimena. The winner of this match between the Flying Scotsman and the Machine Gun will meet either Michael van Gerwen or Arno Merk in the fourth round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Gary Anderson survived a massive scare in the opening round of this year’s world championship, where he was pushed to the wire by Adam Hunt, but managed to clinch a 3-2 victory.
The Flying Scotsman looked much better in the second round, when he beat Connor Scutt 3-1, averaging a massive 105.41, which included nine 180s. He also made 10/29 checkout attempts.
Anderson has won five and lost five of his last 10 matches. He has never lost to Wattimena in four previous encounters.
Meanwhile, Jermaine Wattimena also came close to a first-round elimination from this competition this year, but he managed to hold firm to see off Dominik Gruellich 3-2.
The Machine Gun was then forced to show his resilience again in round two against Scott Williams in a five-set thriller. He averaged 95.91 and had a 40% checkout rate in that match.
Wattimena is in good form of late, winning eight of his last 10 matches, but can he notch up his first victory over this opponent?
