Joe Cullen and Gary Anderson will face off in Round 2 of the 2025 Darts World Grand Prix on Wednesday evening. The Rockstar is ranked 27th, while the Flying Scotsman is 13th, according to the PDC World Rankings as of the cut-off date. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Joe Cullen reached the quarter-final of last year’s World Grand Prix and got off to a solid start this year by eliminating the fancied James Wade 2-0 in the opening round of the competition.
Despite failing to record a 180 in the match, the Rockstar maintained a slightly better average than Wade (85.26). He had a 54.55% checkout rate and a highest checkout of 78.
Cullen is now 5-5 in his last 10 matches across all competitions and has won three of his last four matches against his upcoming opponent.
Meanwhile, Gary Anderson faced a stern test in the opening round but managed to overcome fellow veteran Raymond van Barneveld 2-1 in a match that delivered 13 legs.
The Flying Scotsman hit two 180s and maintained a three-dart average of 90.06. He was also efficient on the outer ring (53.85%) and recorded a highest checkout of 115.
Anderson has now won eight of his last 10 matches across all competitions, and while his opponent has the head-to-head advantage of late, the Scot did win their last encounter 6-2.
