Nathan Aspinall vs Maik Kuivenhoven prediction

Nathan Aspinall reached the Grand Slam final in 2022 and won the German Darts Grand Prix this year, but he has run into Luke Littler an awful lot lately.

Fortunately for the Asp, the world champion is on the under side of the draw in Wolverhampton, so he will be eyeing up a deep run at this event, which could put him back in the Premier League conversation. 

Maik Kuivenhoven makes his Grand Slam debut via the Tour Card Holder Qualifier, having reached two Players Championship finals in 2026 in what has been a strong year for the Dutchman.

We expect Aspinall to come through this though, with the Stockport thrower simply more experiences on the big stage.
