Schedule and preview Saturday afternoon session 2023 European Darts Open featuring Cullen-Ross Smith, Clayton and Van Duijvenbode

Saturday is here at the 2023 European Darts Open with the seeded players coming into the foray in Leverkusen including two Premier League stars, the last European Tour winner and a Dutchman in some of the best form on the tour.

As well as the European Champion in action in the form of Ross Smith facing Joe Cullen. The latter not being in the best form and 'Smudger' easing past Pascal Rupprecht yesterday.

Jonny Clayton unlike Chris Dobey didn't have to head straight from Newcastle to play on Friday night but they are back to back on the schedule with 'The Ferret' facing Ryan Meikle and Dobey tangling with Danny Noppert.

Dave Chisnall aims to win three in four European Tours after a week that saw a huge 117 average on the ProTour, he faces Jim Williams. One of the top seeds, Damon Heta starts off against Andy Boulton, while Rob Cross follows up against Ryan Joyce.

Dirk van Duijvenbode has been in utterly incredible form on the ProTour and will face Ted Evetts, as has Ryan Searle who will end proceedings against Stephen Bunting.
