The afternoon session on Day 8 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will end with Mike De Decker taking on David Munyua. The winner of this match between the Real Deal and Why Not will meet either Mickey Mansell or Leonard Gates in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Mike De Decker gained automatic qualification to the World Championships thanks to his position in the PDC Order of Merit. He has reached the second round every year since 2022.
The Real Deal reached his first European Tour final this year in Belgium but lost to Luke Littler. He also got to the final of the Australian Darts Masters but was once again ousted by Littler.
De Decker suffered a shock first-round elimination at the PC finals last month and has a record of 4-6 in his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, history will be made this week, as David Munyua is set to become the first Kenyan to feature at the World Championships. He qualified by winning the African Darts Group Championship qualifier.
Why Not mainly competes in continental African events and has not featured on the PDC World Series, European Tour or PC circuits. In fact, he is a full-time veterinarian back in his hometown.
It will be interesting to see how Munyua fares here, but understandably, he is one of the biggest outsiders in the first round at the Ally Pally.
