The SSE Arena in Belfast will come to life on Thursday for Night 1 of the PDC 2025 Premier League which kicks off with Chris Dobey facing Gerwyn Price. ‘Hollywood’ is ranked 11th according to the updated Order of Merit while ‘The Iceman’ is two places above him in ninth. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Chris Dobey got the year started on a very positive note, reaching the semi-final of the World Championship at the Ally Pally, where he beat Price en route to the final four.
Since then, though, Hollywood has experienced a dip in form, winning just a single match in the last three events he participated in, which was against Basem Mahmood at the Bahrain Darts Masters.
Dobey’s defeats this season have come against Stephen Bunting, Raymond van Barneveld and Ryan Searle, and he enters this match as the clear underdog at the books.
Meanwhile, Gerwyn Price will have fond memories of Belfast, as it was here that he hit two nine-darters in a single night back in 2022.
After a difficult last year, the Iceman has made an impressive start to 2025, most notably, taking down Luke Littler with a 115.31 average on his way to the Bahrain Darts Masters final.
Despite losing to Dobey at the World Championship, Price still has an incredible record against this opponent, having beaten him in 12 straight matches before that.

Our Chris Dobey vs Gerwyn Price Prediction
Chris Dobey can go throw-for-throw with the best around, but he has experienced a notable dip in form since his semi-final run at the World Championship, currently riding a three-match losing streak.
Gerwyn Price, on the other hand, is starting to show why he was one world’s best just a couple of years ago with solid performances in 2025, and we feel he will be able to exact his revenge on Dobey in this one. Our Chris Dobey vs Gerwyn Price prediction is Gerwyn Price wins the match.
