Group D in the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts will see James Wade taking on Ricky Evans on Day 3 of the competition on Monday evening. The Machine is bottom of the standings with no points, while Rapid Ricky leads the group with four points. Let’s get into the match prediction!
James Wade has been one of the biggest disappointments in the 2025 Grand Slam of Darts and will not feature in the second round after losing to Gerwyn Price 5-0 on Sunday evening.
The Machine only managed one 180 and averaged 87.87 to the Iceman’s 100.20. He missed all four of his attempts on checkouts while Price pinned a perfect five from five.
Wade has now lost six of his last eight matches in all competitions, but has beaten his upcoming opponent in four of their last five encounters.
In contrast, Ricky Evans has been one of the biggest surprise packages at the Grand Slam of Darts this year, having secured qualification to the second round by beating Stefan Bellmont 5-4 last night.
Despite only managing one 180, Rapid Ricky outaveraged Nellmont 95.91 to 87.78. He recorded 31.25% on the outer ring, which included pulling the big fish (170).
Evans has now won seven of his last 10 matches across all competitions, which included defeating Gerwyn Price in his opening match of this competition.
