The second match in the first round of the 2025 Australian Darts Masters will see Gerwyn Price face off against Joe Comito on Friday. The winner of this match between The Iceman and The Waterboy will move on to meet either Chris Dobey or Tim Pusey in the quarter-final. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Gerwyn Price returns to Wollongong to defend his Australian Darts Masters title, which he won by thumping world number two Luke Littler 8-1 in the final of the competition last year.
The Iceman bowed out in the third round of the World Matchplay 16-11 to Josh Rock last month, but that followed his first World Series title of the year, which he won in Poland against Stephen Bunting.
Overall, Price has been in excellent form, having reached two World Series finals in 2025 and currently holding a record of eight wins and just two defeats in his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, the last 12 months have been progressive for Joe Comito, headlined by his debut in the World Championship at Alexandra Palace, albeit bowing out in the first round.
In 2023, The Waterboy lost 6-0 to Damon Heta at the New South Wales Masters and went down 6-1 to Luke Humphries in the 2024 Australian Darts Masters - both in the first round.
This is another clash where the PDC elite is expected to secure a comfortable victory.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Joe Comito Prediction
Joe Comito is set to feature in his third consecutive major Australian tournament in a row, but he has never got beyond the first round, and it’s difficult to see that record change this year.
That is because meeting him at the oche is Gerwyn Price, who has been in stellar form over the last few months and claimed his first World Series title of 2025 last time out, beating number one seed Stephen Bunting in Poland. We fancy the Welshman to win this one fairly comfortably. Our Gerwyn Price vs Joe Comito prediction is Gerwyn Price -2.5.
