Ricky Evans and Charlie Manby will face off in Round 3 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship on Monday. The winner of this match between Rapid Ricky and Champagne will meet either Gian van Veen or Madars Razma in the fourth round. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Fan favourite Ricky Evans is eyeing his first appearance in the last 16 at the World Championships. He began his campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Man Lok Leung in R1. 

Rapid Ricky then pulled off one of the upsets of the tournament, beating seventh seed James Wade 6-4 in a final-set tie-break. He averaged 88.19 and recorded a highest checkout of 144 in that match. 

Evans has won six of his last 10 matches across all competitions. This is his first match against this opponent. 

Meanwhile, Charlie Manby is living the dream on debut at the Ally Pally, and kicked off his campaign with a massive 3-2 upset victory over Cameron Menzies in the opening round. 

Champagne then proved too strong for Adam Sevada in R2, winning the match 3-0, while averaging 90.88, converting 47.37% of checkout attempts, and recording a highest checkout of 114. 

Manby has won nine of his last 10 matches in all competitions, but seven of those have come on the Modus Super Series.

Our Ricky Evans vs Charlie Manby Prediction

Charlie Manby has certainly put himself on the radar here at the Ally Pally this year, but it will be interesting to see how he fares against a player ranked inside the top 50 in the PDC Order of Merit in Ricky Evans. 

Rapid Ricky knocked off James Wade in dramatic fashion in round two and now looks like a potential dark horse at this year’s Worlds. We fancy him to get to his first round of 16 at this competition this year. Our Ricky Evans vs Charlie Manby prediction is Ricky Evans wins.
