Gerwyn Price and Daryl Gurney will face off in what could turn into the most heated first-round matchups at the European Darts Championship 2025 on Thursday evening. The winner of this match between the Iceman and SuperChin will meet either Ross Smith or Peter Wright in round two. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Gerwyn Price was the 16th seed in this competition last year and exited in the first round, but he comes in as the sixth seed in 2025 and as one of the favourites to go all the way.
The Iceman racked up three nightly wins in the Premier League and has three Players Championship titles to his name. He also won the Poland Darts Masters by beating Stephen Bunting.
Price lost to Danny Noppert in the third round of the German Darts Championship last week and has a record of six wins and four losses in his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, Daryl Gurney will be hoping for a better run in this competition than he managed last year (second round), though he is seeded 10 places lower than he was in 2024.
The highlight of SuperChin’s year was winning the World Cup with Josh Rock, beating Price and Jonny Clayton in the final. However, he has not won an individual major title in 2025 to date.
Gurney suffered a first-round elimination in Hildesheim last week and has both matches against his upcoming opponent this year.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Daryl Gurney Prediction
Since the Premier League, Gerwyn Price has largely had to yield to the big two, Luke Humphries and Luke Littler, but he is still one of the best around, and a massive favourite in this contest.
Daryl Gurney has struggled to put together many deep runs at major tournaments and has already lost twice to Price in singles matches this year, which included a 6-1 hammering at PC21 in July. Our Gerwyn Price vs Daryl Gurney prediction is Gerwyn Price wins the match.
