After defying the odds in their first match, Ricardo Pietreczko and Jermaine Wattimena will meet in the second round of the 2025 European Darts Championship on Saturday. The winner of this match between Pikachu and the Machine Gun will meet either Nathan Aspinall or Danny Noppert in the quarter-final. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Ricardo Pietreczko pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the opening round of the 2025 European Darts Championship by beating number eight seed Josh Rock 6-3.
Rock recorded one more 180 and had the highest checkout in that match, but Pikachu maintained a better three-dart average (94.60) and checkout rate (50%) than the Irishman.
Pietreczko has only won four of his last 10 matches in all competitions, but is 1-1 in the head-to-head standings against his upcoming opponent.
Meanwhile, Jermaine Wattimena also sent a top-10 seed tumbling out of the competition in the opening round, beating Germany’s Niko Springer 6-3 on Thursday.
The Machine Gun hit four 180s and delivered the third-highest three-dart average of round one (106.87). He had a checkout rate of 54.55% and a highest checkout of 86.
Wattimena reached the quarter-final of the German Darts Championship last month and the semis of the PC32 before that. He has now won eight of his last 10 matches in all competitions.

Our Ricardo Pietreczko vs Jermaine Wattimena Prediction
We tipped Ricardo Pietreczko to pose a challenge to Josh Rock in the opening round, and he delivered, but we’re less confident that the German will be able to do so again in this match.
The reason is that Jermaine Wattimena seems to be playing at the best level we have seen of him in a long while, and took down the number nine seed Niko Springer with ease in the first round. The Dutchman has won eight of his last 10 matches, and we fancy him to add another W to his tally in this one. Our Ricardo Pietreczko vs Jermaine Wattimena prediction is Jermaine Wattimena wins.
