The standout matchup in the quarter-final of the 2025 European Darts Championship sees James Wade taking on Luke Humphries on Sunday. The winner of this match between the Machine and Cool Hand will face either Danny Noppert or Ricardo Pietreczko in the final four. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Regardless of the results from here on, James Wade will look back at the 2025 European Darts Championship with fond memories, having beaten Luke Littler 10-7 to book his spot in the last eight.
The Gladiator only managed three 180s to Littler’s eight, but he had an identical three-dart average to the Nuke (97.75), while his 45.45% conversion on double proved to be the difference-maker.
Wade has now won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions, but he has lost his last two against his upcoming opponent, with both those defeats coming in the last six weeks.
Meanwhile, Luke Humphries faced the surging Scot Cameron Menzies in round two and managed to eke out a 10-9 victory against Cammy, who refused to throw in the towel.
Menzies pinned eight 180s to Humphries' seven, but Cool Hand had the better average (103.64), while converting 10/26 on the outer rings and recording a highest checkout of 121.
The world number one has now won seven of his last 10 matches across all competitions and has also beaten this opponent in seven of their last 10 encounters.

Our James Wade vs Luke Humphries Prediction
James Wade did what very few have managed to do this year in the second round of this competition - beat Luke Littler - but he now has to face the only player in the world ranked above the teenage sensation.
With Littler now out of the competition, Humphries is the clear favourite for the title, and Wade is arguably his biggest obstacle. This should be a high-quality matchup, but we fancy Cool Hand to progress to the final four. Our James Wade vs Luke Humphries prediction is Luke Humphries wins.
