The third match on the schedule at the Nordic Darts Masters will see Rob Cross taking on Andreas Harrysson on Friday night. Voltage is ranked ninth in the world, while Dirty Harry is ranked 116th. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Rob Cross enters the Nordic Darts Masters off the back of a dismal Premier League campaign, where he finished in seventh place and ended the competition without a single nightly win.
Cross sustained an injury midway through the Premier League and lacked the sort of rhythm we’ve become accustomed to seeing from him, which is something he’ll be hoping to improve here in Norway.
Voltage recorded the fewest 180s in the Prem (55) and had the lowest 100+ scores as well. However, he did possess the second-best checkout rate of 42.30%, only bettered by Luke Littler.
Meanwhile, Andreas Harrysson has been in mixed form of late and comes into this competition following a quarter-final appearance at the European Tour 8 over the weekend.
Dirty Harry had knocked out two big names in Raymond van Barneveld and Michael Smith before bowing out to Damon Heta in the last eight. His record now stands at five wins and five defeats in his last 10 matches.
Harrysson and Cross have never faced each other in the past, and while the Englishman is much higher ranked, it is the Norwegian who has the better form entering this contest.

Our Rob Cross vs Andreas Harrysson Prediction
Under normal circumstances, you would almost blindly back Rob Cross to make light work of an opponent of this calibre, but Voltage has looked way off his best lately, which sees him currently riding a four-match losing streak.
Andreas Harrysson pulled off two of the biggest wins of his career over the weekend, smashing both van Barneveld and Michael Smith in succession, and we feel he could give Cross a run for his money in this one. Our Rob Cross vs Andreas Harrysson prediction is Andreas Harrysson +3.5.
