A Premier League-level showdown awaits as Rob Cross takes on Gerwyn Price in a much-anticipated darts fixture. Both men bring explosive scoring and unique momentum to the oche, making this a must-watch for fans and a high-value event for bettors. With dozens of active betting markets — including Match Odds, Correct Score, Most 180s, and Player Averages — punters have several angles to assess this heavyweight clash.
Player Form & Playstyle Analysis
Rob Cross
“Voltage” has rediscovered some of the rhythm that once made him World Champion. While he may not have the week-to-week consistency of the top tier in 2024, Cross remains dangerous — especially when his finishing is sharp and rhythm uninterrupted.
Strengths:
- Reliable checkout conversion, especially on D16 and D8
- Strong early-leg momentum when starting the match well
- Resilience in deciding legs
Concerns:
- Dips in scoring power mid-match
- Struggles when pushed into long 180 shootouts
Gerwyn Price
“The Iceman” enters this match as the favourite — and for good reason. His scoring power remains elite, and when mentally locked in, he’s one of the most intimidating players on tour. His average often exceeds 100+, and he thrives in aggressive match settings.
Strengths:
- High frequency of 180s
- Intense mental presence on stage
- Solid under pressure in tight sets or leg deciders
Concerns:
- Prone to rhythm loss when booed or interrupted by crowd noise
- Occasional tension in doubles under fatigue
Match Odds & Market Overview
Match Odds:
- Rob Cross: Back at 2.46, Lay at 2.48
- Gerwyn Price: Back at 1.68, Lay at 1.69
Price is the early favourite based on form and recent head-to-head results. However, Cross remains a value pick for bettors favouring experience and composure in tight matches.
Correct Score Market (Race to 6 Legs)
This format means the first player to win 6 legs takes the match.
Rob Cross Win Variants:
- 6-4 → Back at 9.4
- 6-5 → 9.0
- 6-3 → 9.8
Gerwyn Price Win Variants:
- 6-3 → Back at 6.8
- 6-4 → 7.0
- 6-5 → 7.8
Insights:
- Odds reflect an expected close contest, with multiple scorelines between 6-3 and 6-5 tightly priced.
- Correct Score betting offers more value than Match Odds if you can forecast match dynamics.
Most 180s Market
- Gerwyn Price: Back at 1.72
- Rob Cross: 3.6
- Tie: 5.6
Price is widely expected to dominate the 180s due to his aggressive power scoring. Bettors may also consider the tie if both players maintain even rhythm.
Player Average Markets
While not yet matched, odds will open closer to game time.
Estimated Lines:
- Rob Cross Average Line: ~97.5
- Gerwyn Price Average Line: ~98.5
Betting on over/under averages is recommended only after assessing warm-up form or recent tournament averages. Watch pre-match interviews or previous round performance.
Total 180s Market
- Under 5.5 180s: Back at 1.72
- Over 5.5 180s: Back at 2.00
A line of 5.5 total 180s suggests a moderate scoring expectation, possibly influenced by a short-format match. If you expect multiple legs to go long (5–6 visits), the Over holds good value.
