The draw has been confirmed for the second round (Last 16) at the 2023 World Cup of Darts which will take place on Saturday in Frankfurt.
England (Michael Smith and Rob Cross) will enter the fray as top seeds and will face Latvia flanked by Madars Razma.
Wales (Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton) due to their camaraderie both on and off the oche will look to gain the title for a second time and will be favourites to do so.
They face the last team through in Denmark with Benjamin Drue Reus in particular impressing for them.
Speaking of cohesion, Belgium in years gone by would've been relishing a clash with the Netherlands this early. But had to have showdown talks as off the oche issues aimed to derail their efforts.
But for how long can it work? They face Dirk van Duijvenbode and Danny Noppert with the duo sliding down slightly to fourth seeds due to Michael van Gerwen's late withdrawal.
A team that know each other well competing in recent years in the World Cup, can Dutch glory return?
Scotland will also return to their familiar line-up of Gary Anderson and Peter Wright and take on Philippines' Lourence Ilagan and Christian Perez. Defending champions Australia in Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock face off against Croatia.
While the other ties see Sweden face Canada, France v South Africa and home heroes Germany will face record breakers Poland who produced a 118 average on Friday night.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
