Match 2 of Night 8 at the 2025 Premier League Darts season sees Gerwyn Price face off against Rob Cross on Thursday in Newcastle. The Iceman is fourth in the league standings after seven rounds while Voltage is one behind him in fifth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After notching up his first win of the Premier League season, beating Luke Littler on Night 6, Gerwyn Price was unable to follow up on that performance last week, bowing out in the opening round.
The Iceman will be seeking revenge here, as it was this very opponent who sent him packing last week in Cardiff, where he averaged 97.10 to Cross’s 89.40 but still lost the match 6-5.
Price participated in the European 2 competition earlier this week and lost in the quarter-final to Michael van Gerwen. He now has seven wins and three losses in his last 10 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, after beating Price in the first round last week, Rob Cross proved no match for Luke Littler in the semi-final and suffered a crushing 6-2 defeat despite averaging a healthy 99.80.
The highlight of the night for Voltage was pinging a 170 checkout - the highest of the night - but he has yet to reach a final, exiting in the semis stage in five of the seven rounds to date.
While Price leads the head-to-head standings in this contest over the years, Cross has been the more successful in recent times, winning five of the last eight matches between them since the start of 2024.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Rob Cross Prediction
Matches between Price and Cross are generally very close contests, as we saw last week when they went all the way to 11 sets for a winner to be decided, and there is little reason to suggest that will not be the case again this week.
Price arguably has the advantage as he will be throwing first in this match, and holding throw could prove to be crucial given how fine the margin has been between these two in recent times. Our Gerwyn Price vs Rob Cross prediction is over 9.5 legs.
