Luke Littler and Krzysztof Ratajski will meet in the quarter-final at the 2026 PDC World Championships on Thursday. The winner of this match between The Nuke and the Polish Eagle will meet either Ryan Searle or Jonny Clayton in the semi-final. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Luke Littler is the one to beat this year. His title defence so far has seen him defeat Darius Labanauskas, David Davies, Mensur Suljovic to nil, before downing Rob Cross 4-2 in round four. 

Against Cross, The Nuke averaged 106.58 - the highest three-dart average of the fourth round. He also made 42.86% of his checkout attempts and recorded a highest checkout of 128. 

Littler is now on an incredible 17-match win streak and has never lost to Ratajski in four previous meetings. 

Meanwhile, Krzysztof Ratajski has defied the odds to reach the last eight and will celebrate his birthday with a matchup against the PDC's top-ranked player. Ratajski beat Alexis Toylo, Ryan Joyce, Wesley Plaisier and higher-seeded Luke Woodhouse in the first four rounds.

The Polish Eagle overcame Woody with a 96.68 average, which included four 180s. He made 45.16% of his attempts at the outer rind and recorded a highest checkout of 86. 

Ratajski has won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions. He last faced Littler in March at the UK Open and lost 10-8.
