The quarter-final of the 2025 European Darts Championship will see Ryan Joyce facing off against Gian van Veen on Sunday. The winner of this match between Relentless and the Giant will meet either Michael van Gerwen or Daryl Gurney in the final four. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Ryan Joyce pulled off perhaps the biggest upset of the second round at the 2025 European Darts Championship by eliminating number two seed Martin Schindler 10-7 last night.
Joyce only recorded three 180s to Schindler’s seven, but he was clinical on the double, converting 10 of his 15 attempts, while also managing a highest checkout of 113.
Relentless has now won seven of his last 10 matches across all competitions, but has not beaten his upcoming opponent in their two previous encounters.
Meanwhile, Gian van Veen produced a commanding effort to reach the last eight, thumping Englishman Ryan Seale 10-2 in the second round on Saturday.
The Giant maintained a stunning 109.92 three-dart average, which included seven 180s. He also made 66.67% of his checkout attempts and pinned a big fish for his highest checkout.
Van Veen is now 6-4 in his last 10 matches. The Dutchman beat his upcoming opponent in Basel last month 6-2.
