Luke Littler will take on Danny Noppert in the opening round of the 2026 World Series of Darts Finals at AFAS Live in Amsterdam on Friday evening. The Nuke has already beaten the Freeze twice this year, and our prediction is that the world number one will add another victory to that tally in this match.
Luke Littler enters the World Series of Darts Finals as the clear favourite. The teenage sensation won the title on debut in 2024 and finished as the runner-up to Michael van Gerwen last year.
The Nuke has already secured several major titles this year, including the World Championship, World Masters, UK Open, Premier League, World Matchplay, and the World Cup of Darts.
Littler’s most recent title came at the Czech Darts Open against Luke Humphries earlier this month, and he has now won 18 of his last 20 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Danny Noppert returns to the World Series of Darts after reaching the second round last year. His best run in the competition came in 2019 when he reached the final before losing 11-2 to MVG.
The highlight of the Dutchman’s season was winning the Players Championship 2 title by beating Simon Whitlock. He also reached the last 16 at PC28 in August, losing to Humphries.
Noppert lost to James Wade 6-0 in the quarter-finals of the Flanders Darts Trophy last week. He has won seven of his last 10 matches but only one of his previous seven against Littler.

Our Luke Littler vs Danny Noppert Prediction
Danny Noppert has continued to reinforce his reputation as a strong floor player this year, and he will have the home crowd behind him here, but unfortunately, he has been handed the worst possible draw in the opening round.
Standing in Noppert’s way is Luke Littler, who enters the World Series of Darts Finals off the back of winning the Czech Darts Open title just a couple of weeks ago. The Nuke has already beaten this opponent twice in 2026, and we fancy him to secure another comfortable victory in this one. Our Luke Littler vs Danny Noppert prediction is Luke Littler wins & most 180s.
