The pick of the quarter-finals at the Nordic Darts Masters will see Gerwyn Price taking on Luke Humphries on Saturday afternoon. The winner of this match between the Iceman and Cool Hand Luke will face either Rob Cross or Chris Dobey in the semi-finals. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The defending Nordic Darts Masters champion Gerwyn Price made a stunning start to his title defence, easing past Cor Dekker 6-3 in his opening match of the competition.
The Iceman won the 180 battle 3-2 and had a three-dart average of 100.43. His highest checkout recorded was 81, and he pinned 6/15 (40%) on double.
That victory brought an end to Price’s four-match losing streak, which dated back to Night 14 of the Premier League on May 8.
Meanwhile, Luke Humphries faced a stern test in his opening match, as he was pushed to a deciding set by Madars Razma but held on when it counted to win 6-5.
Humphries averaged 97.50 and pinned two 180s in the first round. He also recorded a highest checkout of 125 and a checkout rate of 35.29% (6/17).
While Humphries has been more successful in matches against his upcoming opponent in recent years, Price has won three of their last four encounters.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Luke Humphries Prediction
After a poor end to the Premier League, Gerwyn Price got his Nordic Darts Master title defence started very impressively, and looked much more comfortable than he did at the O2 Arena last week.
Humphries was pushed to the limit by Razma in his opening match, but his class got him through in the end. Cool Hand Luke is the favourite in this match, but we feel Price will make this a very close contest. Our Gerwyn Price vs Luke Humphries prediction is Gerwyn Price +2.5.
