Gerwyn Price and Chris Dobey will meet in the penultimate quarter-final at the Australian Darts Masters on Saturday. The winner of this match between The Iceman and Hollywood will meet either Luke Humphries or Mike De Decker in the semi-final. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Gerwyn Price made a solid start to his title defence here in Wollongong, beating Joe Comito 6-3, while averaging 100.45 per visit to the oche in the opening round.
The Iceman pinned three 180s and recorded a healthy 60% checkout rate. However, he was still critical of his finishing, mainly due to his highest checkout being a modest 60.
Still, Price has now won eight of his last 10 matches across all competitions, a period during which he also won the European Tour 9 by beating veteran Gary Anderson.
Meanwhile, Chris Dobey got through his opening match with a 6-4 victory over Tim Pusey but most would agree that it was far from a convincing performance.
Hollywood was beaten on the 180s (3-2) and averaged just 89.49. He also converted only 24% on the outer ring (6/25) and recorded a highest checkout of 96.
Dobey has won six of his last 10 matches across all competitions, but has lost his last three matches against his upcoming opponent.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Chris Dobey Prediction
While Chris Dobey got off to a winning start here Down Under, his performance was questionable, and many would likely agree that he would have had a much tougher time qualifying had he faced a better opponent.
In contrast, Gerwyn Price was excellent in his opening game and looks as good as he’s been in recent months. The Iceman has won his last three matches against this opponent, and we feel he will extend that record by adding another victory to that tally this weekend. Our Gerwyn Price vs Chris Dobey prediction is Gerwyn Price wins the match.
