Martin Schindler vs Jan Schmidt prediction

World number 20 Martin Schindler gets his 2026 Grand Slam of Darts campaign under way against compatriot Jan Schmidt.

Schmidt was beaten 5-2 by Chris Dobey on Saturday night and will be unhappy with his finishing in that match. He converted only two of his 18 checkout chances and wasted plenty of opportunities to push Dobey much harder.

Dobey was far more clinical, and that ultimately saw him through. Schmidt will be ruing those missed chances, and he cannot afford to hand Schindler the same kind of opportunities if he is to get anything from this match.

Schindler’s form coming into this tournament has hardly been the best, but he will be fired up to do well and will see this group as an opportunity to progress. He will also be keen to put down a marker against a fellow German.

However, he may not have it all his own way, as Schmidt will surely have more joy on his doubles than he did on Saturday. We think Schmidt will push Schindler much closer, and while we favour Schindler to win, we also like this one to go deep.
