Ross Smith will meet Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals of the World Matchplay on Thursday evening. The Iceman has won three of his last four matches against this opponent, and our prediction is that he will come out on top in this one as well.
Ross Smith kicked off his World Matchplay campaign with a 10-6 victory over Kevin Doets before progressing by default to the last eight after Cameron Menzies withdrew in leg three of Round 2.
Smudger averaged 100.55 in his opening match of the competition, which included an impressive 12 180s. He was also solid with his closing, converting 55.56% of his checkout attempts.
Smith has won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions but has only beaten this opponent once since 2023.
Meanwhile, after getting run to the wire by Martin Schindler, Gerwyn Price produced a commanding performance to beat Rob Cross 11-5 in the second round last night.
The Iceman pinned seven 180s and maintained a three-dart average of 97.84 against Voltage. He also converted 52.38% of his checkout attempts, including a highest checkout of 161.
Price has split his last five matches in all competitions, five wins and five losses. His last win against this opponent came in April this year on the European Tour (8-6).

Our Ross Smith vs Gerwyn Price Prediction
After a solid performance against Kevin Doets, Ross Smith received a walkover against Cameron Menzies, and it will be interesting to see if he can find the form he showed in the opening round here.
However, for us, Gerwyn Price represents a massive test for Smudger, as he looked excellent during his match against Cross, and as we know, thrives on the grandest stages. The Iceman beat this opponent in April, and we feel he will come out on top in this one as well. Our Ross Smith vs Gerwyn Price prediction is Gerwyn Price wins.
