A blockbuster matchup at the 2025 Darts World Grand Prix is on the cards on Thursday, with Gerwyn Price set to take on Josh Rock in Round 2. The winner of this match between the Iceman and Rocky will meet either Luke Littler or Mike De Decker in the quarter-finals. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Gerwyn Price survived a massive scare in his opening match at this year’s World Grand Prix, as he clawed his way back from a set down to see off Ryan Searle 2-1 on Tuesday night.
The Iceman only managed a single 180 to Searle’s five, but he had a marginally better three-dart average (89.31) than the Englishman. He recorded a 138 highest checkout and a 46.15% checkout rate.
Price has six wins and four defeats in his last 10 matches and is 5-4 in his last nine matches against his upcoming opponent.
Meanwhile, Josh Rock also faced a tough opening match in which he had to bounce back from a set down to beat Ryan Joyce 2-1 in a thrilling final set showdown on Tuesday.
Rocky recorded three 180s and averaged 85.21, only marginally better than Joyce’s 84.69. He was also wasteful on the outer ring (24.14%) but had the highest checkout in the match (108).
Rock is 7-3 in his last 10 matches. While he is behind in the head-to-head against Price, he has beaten the Iceman twice in their last three encounters.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Josh Rock Prediction
Gerwyn Price was some way from his best in the opening round, but as he does so often, he hit the big shots when it mattered most to get the result, despite being inferior in most of the statistical categories.
Much of the same can be said for Josh Rock in his first match of the competition against Ryan Joyce. Price is the favourite in this clash, but given how similar their matches were in Round 1, we feel Rock will keep this one close. Our Gerwyn Price vs Josh Rock prediction is Josh Rock +1.5.
