Arguably the pick of the Day 1 opening round matchups at the 2025 Darts World Grand Prix sees Luke Humphries facing off against Nathan Aspinall on Monday evening. Cool Hand Luke is ranked first, while the Asp is 23rd, according to the PDC World Rankings as of the cut-off date. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Luke Humphries sets off on his 2025 World Grand Prix campaign as one of the favourites. He won the competition in 2023 and was a beaten finalist in his title defence last year.
While Cool Hand Luke suffered an early exit at the World Championship, he did win the World Masters, US Darts Masters, Czech Darts Open and the Premier League in the last 12 months.
Humphries was beaten by Bradley Brooks in the third round of the PC30 competition last week and has a record of 6-4 in his last 10 games ahead of this tournament.
Meanwhile, Nathan Aspinall reached the final of the World Grand Prix in 2022, but he bowed out in the first round in 2023 and only went one round further last year.
The Asp made the semis of the World Masters this year and notched up two titles on the European Tour, while he also made it to the Playoffs of the Premier League for the first time.
However, having suffered early elimination at the PC29 and PC30, his record now shows five defeats in his last nine matches across all competitions.
