Kevin Doets vs Josh Rock prediction

World number eight Josh Rock’s hopes of progressing at the Grand Slam of Darts are hanging by a thread after a 5-2 defeat to debutant Tommy Morris on Saturday lunchtime.

Rock has not been in the best of form, and it showed. He was caught cold against Morris, who raced into an early lead and never looked back.

He now takes on Kevin Doets, who has been playing some good darts in recent times and even claimed a win over compatriot Michael van Gerwen on the Players Championship tour a couple of weeks ago.

The pair have met twice before, and Rock won both, 6-2 in April 2025 and 8-6 earlier this year, which will give him some confidence.

However, the fact that Rock needs to win this one, and by a good margin, to have any chance of progressing will pile on the pressure from the very first dart. In many respects, Doets can relax a little, and that will surely favour him.

Rock has had the better of the head-to-head, but we fancy Doets to get the win here and eliminate the Northern Irishman.
