Round 4 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship brings us a blockbuster on Tuesday afternoon when Michael van Gerwen takes on Gary Anderson. The winner of this match between Mighty Mike and the Flying Scotsman will meet either Justin Hood or Josh Rock in the quarter-final. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Michael van Gerwen is aiming to secure his fourth World Championship title this year. He got his campaign started with 3-1 victories over Mitsuhiko Tatsunami and William O’Connor, respectively.
In the third round, MVG defeated Arno Merk 4-1. He pinned nine 180s and averaged 99.70 in that match, while converting 50% of his checkout attempts and recording a highest checkout of 92.
The three-time world champion has won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions and defeated his upcoming opponent 5-2 at the Grand Slam of Darts last month.
Meanwhile, Gary Anderson survived a massive scare in the first round by edging Adam Hunt 3-2 before a much more straightforward 3-1 victory in round two over Connor Scutt.
Round 3 proved to be another nailbiter for the Flying Scotsman against Jermaine Wattimena, but he rose to the challenge by pinning 14 180s and maintaining a three-dart average of 102.24.
Anderson is 5-5 in his last 10 matches. While he did lose to this opponent in their last encounter, the Scot did come out on top in their two previous matches.
