The afternoon session on Day 5 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will wrap up with Peter Wright taking on Noa-Lynn van Leuven. The winner of this match between Snakebite and The Dutchess will meet Arno Merk in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
One of the most recognisable faces in all of darts, Peter Wright returns to the Ally Pally for the 16th time in his career this year. He is a two-time world champion, once a runner-up and twice a semi-finalist.
At 55, Snakebite’s form has dipped in recent years, but he remains a regular at televised tournaments and has notched up several deep runs in the World Series and Players Championships this year.
Wright lost to James Wade in the second round of the PC finals last month and has split his last 10 matches in all competitions, five wins and five defeats.
Meanwhile, Noa-Lynn van Leuven qualified for the 2026 World Championships via the PDC Women’s Series Order of Merit and will be making her second appearance at the Ally Pally this year.
The Dutchess has racked up multiple Women’s Series titles and finals appearances over the past two years, which has placed her inside the top two on the Women’s Order of Merit.
Van Leuven has won four and lost six of her last 10 listed matches.

Our Peter Wright vs Noa-Lynn van Leuven Prediction
Given his history at the Ally Pally and position in the Order of Merit, Peter Wright is a massive favourite in this match, but we have our doubts around how short bookmakers have priced Snakebite in this contest.
The past year has been very tough on a personal level for Noa-Lynn van Leuven, yet she has performed incredibly on the Women’s Series, and we feel that The Dutchess has something to prove here at the Palace. Our Peter Wright vs Noa-Lynn van Leuven prediction is Noa-Lynn van Leuven +2.5.
