The quarter-final of the Nordic Darts Masters will see Rob Cross taking on Chris Dobey on Saturday afternoon. The winner of this match between Voltage and Hollywood will face either Gerwyn Price or Luke Humphries in the semi-finals. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a very disappointing Premier League season, in which he finished in seventh place, Rob Cross made a promising start to this competition, beating Andreas Harryson 6-4 in the opening round.
Voltage averaged 93.91 in his first match and hit 6/14 doubles (42.86%), but failed to record a single 180 in the match. His highest checkout of the match was 92.
That victory brought an end to a four-match losing streak for Cross, but he has still only won three of his last 10 across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Chris Dobey was drafted into the Nordic Darts Masters after Michael van Gerwen pulled out of the competition due to personal reasons. He made a perfect start, beating Jeffrey de Graaf 6-2.
Hollywood hit three 180s and averaged 90.25. His highest checkout was 90, but he struggled on double, pinning just six of 23 on the outer ring (26.09%).
In the last 10 meetings between these two, Dobey won six matches, including two of three in this season’s Premier League.

Our Rob Cross vs Chris Dobey Prediction
Rob Cross came into this competition off the back of a very poor Premier League season, and while he got the victory over Harryson in the first round, it was far from convincing, as he failed to score a single maximum.
Chris Dobey made the most of his opportunity after van Gerwen’s withdrawal and looked in good rhythm in his tournament opener. Hollywood has beaten Cross in two of their last three meeting, and we feel he will push Voltage all the way in this one as well. Our Rob Cross vs Chris Dobey prediction is Chris Dobey +1.5.
