Darts Tips: World Championship Day 10
Saturday night’s alright for darting this weekend - and we’ve got some big names in action on the oche.
Take a look at some of the best betting tips for Day 10 of the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship, courtesy of Free Bets.
Tip 1: Chris Dobey 3-2 Andrew Gilding at 7/2 with William Hill
Last year’s semi-finalist Chris Dobey is expected to compete once again this year.
“Hollywood” is up to No. 8 in the world rankings, but has had a below par season by his standards.
His 93 average was more than enough to sweep past China’s Xiachen Zong in the opener, but he’ll have to improve on his finishing if he’s going to have an easy time against Andrew Gilding.
Gilding averaged up at 98 in his 3-1 demolition of Cameron Crabtree and has the game to push Dobey all the way on Saturday — at a good price!
Tip 2: Ryan Searle match win & most 180s vs Brendan Dolan at 4/5 with bet365
Brendan Dolan has bucket loads of experience on the big stage, but rarely looks like putting a decent run together in TV competitions.
The “History Maker” has only got past the second round five times in 17 attempts at the Ally Pally, and we’re expecting Ryan Searle to end his campaign this time around in emphatic fashion.
Searle is the 20th seed in North London, didn’t drop a set in the opening round and is a good pick to advance from his quarter if he is able to ride his luck.
Back “Heavy Metal” to see off Dolan at a canter.
Tip 3: Michael Smith to beat Niels Zonneveld at 4/5 with bet365
Michael Smith may not be anywhere near his World Championship winning best, but we are backing “Bully Boy” to find enough reserves in the tank to get past Niels Zonneveld.
Zonneveld is making his fifth appearance here and has never got into the third round — the massive advantage in experience that Smith enjoys here should pay dividends if the match goes long.
Smith rallied to a 91 average in his opening round win over Lisa Ashton, but might have to be a little more consistent on his doubles if he is to knock out the 27-year-old Dutchman.
