The penultimate match in Round 2 of the World Matchplay sees Gerwyn Price facing off against Rob Cross on Wednesday evening. Voltage has won four of his last seven games against the Iceman, which sees us leaning toward the value on the underdog in this clash.
Gerwyn Price faced a stern test in his opening match of the 2026 Matchplay, where he was pushed all the way before getting by Germany’s number one Martin Schindler in sudden-death.
The Iceman recorded four 180s and a three-dart average of 93.88. His victory ultimately came down to his solid closing, where he managed to convert 50% (11/22) of his checkout attempts.
Price has won just four of his last 10 matches in all competitions and beat his upcoming opponent in their last encounter at the Polish Darts Masters in July last year.
Meanwhile, Rob Cross looked like a man on a mission in his opening match of this competition, where he stormed to a stunning 10-3 victory over Danny Noppert - the second-biggest win of the opening round.
Voltage dominated almost every key stat column in that match, including three-dart average (97.41), 180s (3), checkout conversion (52.63%) and pinned the highest checkout (128).
Cross has now won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions. The last 10 matches between Cross and Price are level at five wins apiece.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Rob Cross Prediction
Gerwyn Price managed to get by Martin Schindler in the opening round, but his scoring was not at the level that many expected, averaging 93.88, which is not the standard needed heading into the latter rounds.
Had it not been for the issues he experienced in the past year, Rob Cross would have been one of the seeded players in this competition, and he made a massive statement by thumping Danny Noppert in his opener. We fancy Voltage to deliver another strong performance in this one. Our Gerwyn Price vs Rob Cross prediction is Rob Cross +2.5.
