Teenage sensation Luke Littler will kick off his Nordic Darts Masters tournament with an opening round showdown against Viktor Tingstrom on Friday. The Nuke is ranked second in the world, while Belkin Boy is ranked 147th. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Luke Littler will be looking to get back to winning ways in this competition, after being dethroned by Luke Humphries in the 2025 Premier League at the O2 Arena last week.
Littler came through the league phase as the clear top seed, setting a record of six nightly wins, but he struggled to find his best form in the grand final, which he lost 11-8 to the world number one.
Still, the Nuke is the favourite to win this competition, having pinned an astonishing 169 180s in the Prem, while notching up 15 wins in his last 20 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Viktor Tingstrom comes into this tournament following a third-round exit to world number 108 Jim Long 6-2 at the Players Championship 16 on May 15.
That result marked Belkin Boy’s eighth defeat in his last 10 matches across all competitions and was the fourth time in a row he lost a match by three clear legs.
Tingstrom has never met Littler in a competitive setting in the past, but you get the feeling he will need a massive slice of luck or a complete collapse by the Nuke to come out on top in this one.

Our Luke Littler vs Viktor Tingstrom Prediction
Luke Littler would have been bitterly disappointed not to have defended his Premier League title despite being the best player in the competition during the league phase, in which he pinned 68 more 180s than any of his opponents.
The Nuke will therefore be determined to put that disappointment behind him by claiming the title in this competition, and we feel that he will make light work of Tingstrom, who has lost eight of his last 10 matches. Our Luke Littler vs Viktor Tingstrom prediction is Luke Littler wins the match & most 180s.
