Scott Williams and Paolo Nebrida will face off in the third match on Day 6 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship. The winner of this match between Shaggy and Pow will meet either Jermaine Wattimena or Dominik Grullich in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Scott Williams is no stranger to the Ally Pally. He got to the third round last year and reached the semi-final back in 2024 before losing to eventual champion Luke Humphries.
Shaggy has done his best work in the Players Championship this year, reaching the final at PC19, where he beat James Wade 8-3, while he also made the semi-final at PC 27.
Williams lost to Josh Rock in the Round of 32 at the PC finals last month, which was his sixth defeat in his last 10 ProTour matches.
Meanwhile, Paolo Nebrida enjoyed a breakthrough run at the Worlds last year. He reached the third round and was one of the deepest-advancing Asian players in the tournament.
Pow’s 2025 season was primarily focused on the Asian Tour events. However, the highlight of his year was featuring at the World Cup, where he defeated Belgium alongside Lourence Ilagan.
Nebrida stunned Rob Cross at the Bahrain Darts Masters in January and has developed a reputation for upsetting the odds at big tournaments.

Our Scott Williams vs Paolo Nebrida Prediction
Scott Williams comes into this competition ranked 36th in the PDC Order of Merit, which makes it unsurprising to see him installed as the favourite. However, we feel the odds are a little misleading.
Paolo Nebrida has shown on several occasions now that he can go toe-to-toe with the PDC’s elite, as we saw in Bahrain at the start of the year, and in the World Cup, where he was clinical on the outer ring. For us, the value lies with the Filipino in this one. Our Scott Williams vs Paolo Nebrida prediction is Paolo Nebrida +2.5.
