The 2025 Darts World Grand Prix kicks off on Monday evening with Rob Cross taking on Wessel Nijman at Mattioli Arena. Voltage is ranked ninth, and Nijman is 38th, according to the PDC World Rankings as of the cut-off date. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Rob Cross is returning to the World Grand Prix looking to win his first-ever title at this event. Last year, he beat Luke Littler in the first round but lost to Ryan Joyce in the quarter-final.
Cross has had a mixed season, which began with winning the Dutch Darts Masters in January and the Players Championship 1 in February, but he struggled to make an impact in the Premier League.
Voltage was beaten in the second round of the PC29 by Patrick Geeraets last week and has split his last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats.
Meanwhile, Wessel Nijman has continued to make his mark this year and enters this competition as one of two players making their World Grand Prix debut.
While Nijman has not won a major in 2025, he was impressive at the World Matchplay, where he stunned Nathan Aspinall 10-6 before bowing out to James Wade in round two.
The Dutchman enters this competition off the back of winning the PC30 last week, where he averaged over 103 to beat Damon Heta 8-3 in the final.

Our Rob Cross vs Wessel Nijman Prediction
After a strong start to the year, Rob Cross has experienced a notable dip in form and also revealed that he was suffering from an injury during the course of the Premier League, which affected his performances.
As a result, Wessel Nijman will be licking his lips at the possibility of toppling one of the PDC’s elite here, especially after his excellent performance at the PC30 competition last week. We feel the debutant could pull off the upset in this one. Our Rob Cross vs Wessel Nijman prediction is Wessel Nijman wins the match.
