Gerwyn Price – Ricky Evans 14-11-2025

As the lights dim and the crowd in Wolverhampton get dressed up, we're ready for a quarter-final that could be much closer than the odds suggest. Gerwyn Price, the former world champion with steely control and raw power, meets the tournament's big mood-setter, Ricky Evans, who has already shown that he can tip the balance in this match. The last time they met, it went all the way, and everything indicates that this duel could once again be a marathon of nerves, rhythm breaks and high level. Now we're going to take a closer look at why this match has all the ingredients to last well into the evening.

Shape and background

Gerwyn Price is one of the big names in the sport, he has high scoring ability and often delivers good periods with 180 points and a high three-dart average. At the same time, he has shown flashes of unevenness in crucial moments in this tournament. Ricky Evans has had a slightly more modest season statistics, but in the tournament he has clearly become hotter. His recent victory against Price in the group stage, and victory over Luke Woodhouse, shows that he has the capacity to push the top level and not be easily dictated to.

Their final showdown

In the group stage, Price and Evans met, and Evans took home the victory 5–4 in a close and even match. There was no dominance from either player, but more of a battle for momentum and the ability to score at critical moments. That match provides several important signals before this match. Evans has shown that he can withstand pressure against Price. Price was put under more resistance than expected and gives reason to believe that it could once again be “dragged out” in length. Both came in with good scoring form, which tends to lead to “the match going far” when the format is longer.

Conclusion & Betting Tips

In a best-of-31 quarter-final, several factors mean we can expect a slightly longer match. Both want to reach the semi-finals, and neither will give up the initiative early. Evans has shown form and confidence, which means that Price cannot necessarily cruise to victory. With the requirement to first through to the last 16, this opens up the possibility of comebacks after breaks and the momentum can turn more often than in previous rounds. Their previous meeting was even, and this indicates that Price did not completely overpower Evans, who thus has a psychological advantage to drag out the match.

If Price takes a quick lead and sets the tone early, the match could end in fewer legs. But with the underlying facts of Evans' form, past performance, and scoring average, it points to him keeping up for at least part of the match. Given all of these elements, I rate the chances of the match going at least 27 legs as solid, not "guaranteed," but with a good foundation.

Therefore, my betting suggestion is:

Darts at 20:10: Gerwyn Price - Ricky Evans: Over 26.5 legs (2.03)
