Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross will clash in Round 2 of the 2026 Beftred World Matchday Darts on Wednesday night. Price is coming off an 11-9 thriller against Martin Schindler to get off to a winning start in Blackpool. The Welshman produced a resilient comeback to overturn a 4-0 score and get his sixth consecutive Round 1 win. The former World Champion will want to build on that performance and get a more comfortable win tonight.
Rob Cross is another former World Champion looking to impress after getting off to a blistering start at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens. Cross delivered a convincing display on Monday night to thrash Danny Noppert 10-3 with an excellent 97.41% average. The Englishman, who is coming off a nasty divorce, has admitted that he has “nothing else in the world” apart from dice. He’s the exciting +138 betting underdog tonight.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Rob Cross Prediction
This will be one of the most exciting darts contests to watch tonight, with Price coming in as the -175 betting favorite. Everyone expected him to have a relatively easy night in Round 1, although Schindler proved that there are no pushovers in Blackpool. He averaged 93.88 in Round 1, meaning he’ll need to improve to outplay Cross, who’ll be feeling super confident tonight. The “Voltage” finished more than 50% of his double attempts on Monday to continue his red-hot form this year. Overall, we’re backing Rob Cross to defeat Gerwyn Price primarily because of his superior form at the moment.
Our prediction for Gerwyn Price vs Rob Cross: Rob Cross on the moneyline.
