Match 2 in the evening session on Day 3 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will see Wessel Nijman taking on Karel Sedlacek. The winner of this match between Nijman and Evil Charlie will meet either Gabriel Clemens or Alex Spellman in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Wessel Nijman is one of the most exciting young Dutch players on the PDC circuit and is being talked up to have a big tournament this year after reaching the second round on debut in the last edition.
The Dutchman has had an excellent year, claiming two Players Championship titles (30 and 34). He also reached the semis at the Dutch Darts Championship and the last 16 at the World Matchplay and Grand Slam.
While his performance at the PC finals was underwhelming, Nijman has been in great form of late, winning 11 of his last 15 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Karel Sedlacek has been the leading Czech player for most of the last decade, but he has struggled to make much of an impact at the Ally Pally, having only got to the second round once.
Evil Charlie has not won a major televised title but did help his nation reach the quarter-final at the World Cup of Darts this year, beating Malaysia alongside compatriot Petr Krivka.
Sedlacek lost to Nathan Aspinall in the opening round of the Players Championship final last week, but he did beat this opponent in their last two encounters - both this year.

Our Wessel Nijman vs Karel Sedlacek Prediction
Karel Sedlacek has been one of the best players that the Czech Republic has ever produced, but he has not managed to make his mark at the Ally Pally, having only managed to get past the first round on one occasion.
That does not bode well for his chances here against Wessel Nijman, who has been on a tear over the past few months. The young Dutchman is one of those who we feel could be a dark horse at the World Championships this year. Therefore, our Wessel Nijman vs Karel Sedlacek prediction is Wessel Nijman wins.
