Team England is the one to beat ahead
of the upcoming World Cup of Darts, which will take place in Germany next month.
Luke Littler and Luke Humphries will
partner up for the competition, and this should send shivers down the
spines of every other pairing at the event.
In the Premier League this season, the
duo currently lead the way at the top of the standings, and with regards to darts bookies on FIRST, they are the pair to beat at the
O2.
Can they work together well as a team,
however? Especially as there are a few pairings that could provide a stiff
challenge.
Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton are aiming for their third World Cup triumph
The Welsh duo have enjoyed plenty of
success at the World Cup since 2020. That year, they claimed their first win in
the competition by defeating England in the final.
They lost out to Australia in 2022, but
returned to the top of the podium a year later courtesy of a 10-2 victory over
Scotland.
Price has qualified for the playoffs in
the Premier League after winning three consecutive titles. Clayton won the Players
Championship 14 in April and reached the semi-finals of the UK Open along with
the final of the World Masters, but lost both matches.
Together, Price and Clayton always bring
fireworks to the World Cup, and they will be hoping for win number three in
Germany.
Dutch duo Gian van Veen and Danny Noppert could go far
Michael van Gerwen won’t be representing
the Netherlands, meaning Van Veen and Noppert will lead the Dutch charge at the
World Cup.
Noppert has plenty of pedigree in the
game. A former UK Open winner and a semi-finalist at the World Masters this
year, the 34-year-old will be taking part in the World Cup for the fifth time.
Van Veen is one of the most promising
young players in the sport right now. The 2024 World Youth champion has already
reached two European Tour finals and made his way to the last eight at the UK
Open.
If the duo click, expect big things from
the Netherlands this year.
Belgium could pose a major threat at the World Cup
The last time Belgium reached the World Cup final was in 2013. This year, Dimitri van den Bergh and Mike De
Decker will be hoping to end that drought and perhaps go all the way.
De Decker rose to prominence by winning
the World Grand Prix last year, his first-ever major title.
He is in good hands alongside Van den
Bergh, who has represented Belgium in the previous seven World Cups. During
that time, they have reached the semi-finals on four occasions. Could 2025 be
their year?
The 30-year-old boasts a plethora of big
game experience, and this should ease the nerves of De Decker, who is set to
feature in the tournament for the first time.
Don’t count out the Belgians making a
splash across the border in Germany at the World Cup.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
