Gerwyn Price will get his 2026 World Matchplay campaign underway on Monday against Martin Schindler. The Iceman has won his last four matches against this opponent, and our prediction is that he will extend that record with another victory in this one.
Gerwyn Price is one of the favourites to claim his first World Matchplay title this year. He is the number seven seed and reached the quarter-finals of this competition in 2025.
The Iceman has two ranking titles this year. He cruised past Andrew Gilding to win the Players Championship 6 in February and downed Ross Smith to claim his 10th European Tour title in April.
Price opted not to participate in the European Darts Open last week. He has not been in the best form lately either, losing seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Martin Schindler enters Winter Gardens as a ProTour Qualifier. This is his fifth appearance at the World Matchplay, but he has yet to win a match in the competition.
The Wall has had a poor season by his usual standards. He has not won a PDC title in 2026, while his best performance of the year to date was reaching the last 32 at the World Championship.
Schindler was eliminated in Round 1 at the European Darts Open last week and is now on a five-match losing streak. He last beat this opponent in April 2022.
