Justin Hood vs Josh Rock prediction
Prior to the 2025-26 PDC World Darts Championship, Justin Hood was not a name that many were tipping to go far in the tournament. However, the 32-year-old, who only earned a PDC Tour Card in January, has been hugely impressive on his Ally Pally debut.
Ranked 86 prior to the event, Hood has seen off Nick Kenny, Danny Noppert and Ryan Meikle in hugely impressive fashion and will certainly not fear Josh Rock.
For his his own part, Rock has been excellent in dispatching of Gemma Hayter, Joe Comito and most recently Callan Rydz to reach the fourth round for the second time in his young career.
Tipped by many to be selected for the Premier League next year, the Northern Irishman is considered the favourite here but he will be under no illusion that this will be an straightforward task. Hood has both scored and finished extremely well so far and there is no reason to believe that won't continue. Expect this one to go over 5.5 sets.
Justin Hood vs Josh Rock tip: Over 5.5 sets
