European Tour 4- German Darts Grand Prix Day 3 Picks 2026 (Monday 6th April)

Finals Day at the German Darts Grand Prix is played across two Sessions on Easter Monday with the Third Round completed in the afternoon.

That will set up the Quarter Final matches and the title being decided later in the Evening Session and all of the players remaining in the draw will be feeling confident about their chances. A number of Seeds have already been beaten, including the top Seed Gian van Veen, and that leaves the door wide open for someone to pick up a big European Title and hope that can put some momentum into the next quarter of the season.

Danny Noppert-Karel Sedlacek over 4.5 180s: There was not much form that Karel Sedlacek could point to before the German Darts Grand Prix began, but he has won a couple of matches here behind strong performances.

The maximum hitting has caught the eye and it will make Evil Charlie that much more dangerous.

Danny Noppert had three of his own in the win over Ritchie Edhouse in the Second Round and the two players can surpass this total line set as long as we get to nine Legs or more.

Krzysztof Ratajski-Ross Smith over 5.5 180s: This Third Round match has a slightly higher line than the first one of the afternoon, but both of these players can put together plenty of maximums when they find their rhythm at the oche.

The big danger is when there is a blowout one way or the other, but Krzysztof Ratajski and Ross Smith are playing well enough to push one another into at least nine Legs for the opportunity to progress into the Quarter Final.

They met last July and the Polish Eagle won that one for the loss of a single Leg, but in the main, contests have been competitive and that afford the players enough time to combine to surpass this maximum total.

Niko Springer v Michael Smith: The home crowd can get behind Niko Springer and ensure he does not have a let down after a strong win over Michael van Gerwen in the Second Round.

That is a win over a former World Champion still operating near his best, but this time Springer is facing another who is struggling for consistency.

Michael Smith is a fantastic player, but he has not been reaching the levels he has set previously and the two performances in this European Tour event have not been the most impressive.

Winning matters, but Smith will know he needs to improve his level if he is going to earn a spot in the Quarter Final and Niko Springer can be backed to find a way to end his run.

Nathan Aspinall to win & over 2.5 180s v Martin Schindler: The German Number 1 did enough to win his Second Round match against Brendan Dolan, but it was far from the best performance produced by Martin Schindler.

He should be better in this Third Round match, but will need to be if he is going to test Nathan Apsinall.

The latter has already beaten one home favourite and so will not be overawed by the occasion, although Nathan Aspinall will know he needs to tidy up one or two aspects of his darts if he is going to win another European Title.

Scoring has not been too much of an issue for Aspinall and he can put together enough big scores to have the chances to win this match.

Danny Noppert-Jonny Clayton over 5.5 180s: Both looked in good form in the afternoon Third Round wins today and the only disappointment for Danny Noppert and Jonny Clayton is running into the other in the Quarter Final.

The winner is going to be tough to stop when it comes to picking up the European Tour Title this weekend and this should be a quality contest.

The last two matches against one another in 2025 were both played in front of crowds and both Noppert and Clayton produced excellent outings.

It was Jonny Clayton who edged to the wins and he has won five in a row against Danny Noppert, but both had considerable success hitting the maximums and it may be more of the same in the Quarter Final here in Germany.

Krzysztof Ratajski over 1.5 180s v Michael Smith: A fast start helped Michael Smith to upset the odds in the Third Round, but he only just made it over the line considering the early lead built up.

He is going to be dangerous with momentum, but Krzysztof Ratajski continued to hit the big scores in his own Third Round win and is rightly set as the favourite.

The maximum hitting has caught the eye so far this weekend and Ratajski should be able to land at least two in this Quarter Final, even if he is not able to quite beat Bully Boy again.

Nathan Aspinall to win & most 180s v Andrew Gilding: The steady, quality play of Andrew Gilding always makes him dangerous and especially with a few wins under the belt to give him momentum.

His crushing win over William O'Connor impressed, but Nathan Aspinall has looked in very good touch over the last couple of matches.

The pressure of having to face home players has not affected The Asp, which is to his credit, and this time he can perhaps play without the crowd playing a part in the contest.

Nathan Aspinall continues to pile in big scores, but will need to tidy up his doubling if he is going to win this title, especially with a very difficult Semi Final opponent to come regardless of who wins the third Quarter Final on the night.

European Tour 4- German Darts Grand Prix Day 2 Picks 2026 (Sunday 5th April)

The middle day of the European Tour events sees the big Seeds enter the tournament and that means a lot of Second Round action to be completed across two Sessions.

At the German Grand Prix, that middle day is a Sunday rather than a Saturday and the tournament looks a wide open one without the current top two in the World Rankings and Gerwyn Price.

We have already had a number of upsets through the First Round and so the big names that have travelled to Germany have to be careful- once again there have been plenty of complaints about issues getting into Europe for this event, which may see more players pull out of events going forward, but those problems crossing the border will feel much more troubling if players do not make use of the open tournament and at least make it through to the final day.

Jermaine Wattimena-Niels Zonneveld over 5.5 180s: These two compatriots have played one close match on the European Tour this season that lasted ten Legs and a similar distance should see plenty of maximums being hit.

The layers are finding it hard to separate Jermaine Wattimena and Niels Zonneveld in the outright market and you can make a case for both.

The former has not had the most consistent season, but had a solid Players Championship outing last Monday and Jermaine Wattimena remains dangerous. He will certainly feel he can get the better of Niels Zonneveld if the World Number 39 is not able to produce a stronger performance than the one he had on Saturday, although Zonneveld continued to pile in the maximums.

Niels Zonneveld can go a long way to covering this total maximum mark on his own, but Jermaine Wattimena is capable when he finds his rhythm and clearing the 5.5 line may be the best approach to take.

Danny Noppert to win & most 180s v Ritchie Edhouse: The consistency at hitting the maximums has helped Danny Noppert take his game to the next level and that power scoring can see him edge past Ritchie Edhouse in the Second Round.

2026 has been an inconsistent year on the Tour so far for Ritchie Edhouse.

While he has fought through to Qualify for a couple of European Tour events, he has not really put together any solid form at the Players Championship. The opening win here will have given Edhouse confidence and he deserves respect as a former European Champion when he surprised a lot of people in 2024.

Backing that up has been difficult and Danny Noppert should find a way past him back into another Finals Day at one of the European Tour events this season.

Luke Woodhouse-Kim Huybrechts over 5.5 180s: He may have entered the German Grand Prix as the World Number 59, but there have been some signs that Kim Huybrechts has rediscovered some of his best form on the oche.

He was a strong winner in the First Round and has put together some decent results on the floor, although not quite pushing into contention to win an event.

The 6-3 win over Peter Wright may have been easier with stronger finishing, but Kim Huybrechts smashed in four maximums in those nine Legs and he has been a big scorer in the past.

Luke Woodhouse is another that finds plenty of maximums and this could be a good Second Round match with the Belgian being underrated as a significant underdog.

Both players will be looking for the strong scoring to put themselves in a position to have enough goes at a double to earn the victory and they are more than capable of covering this 5.5 180s line as long as the match is not a blowout.

The expectation is that we will see at least nine Legs and that could see the two players have enough time to surpass this mark.

Josh Rock to win & most 180s v Ryan Joyce: The Premier League has been challenging for Josh Rock, but he has picked up at least one win in each of the last two Nights.

He may not Qualify for the Play Offs, but that will have helped Josh Rock's confidence nad there have been some better signs about the performances being produced in that tournament setting.

It should be noted that Rock has largely played pretty well outside of the Premier League this season and he should be able to produce the most maximums in this contest with Relentless.

Ryan Joyce will be steady and he will believe in his doubling- that has always been a strength and so Josh Rock will have to be a little wary about this opponent.

However, Joyce had been struggling a little bit prior to the First Round win on Saturday and an improving Josh Rock should complete the Match Double.

Nathan Aspinall to win & most 180s v Ricardo Pietreczko: The home fans are going to be right behind Pikachu, but Nathan Aspinall's scoring power gives him the real edge in this contest.

It will be really important to not get engrossed in Ricardo Pietreczko's antics, nor getting involved with the crowd and so there is going to be some mental pressure on Nathan Aspinall in this one.

He has not been happy about issues he has had getting to Germany, while The Asp has not been playing at his very best over the last three weeks. Some of the draws have landed him in some tough spots, which is the case again here, but Pietreczko has also been struggling for form.

Ricardo Pietreczko had lost five matches in a row before edging out Ian White in a last Leg decider in the First Round- being able to win in that manner will give him belief, but Nathan Aspinall may have too much scoring for the home player and that can give him every opportunity of still be playing here on Monday.

Martin Schindler to win & over 1.5 180s v Brendan Dolan: There are big expectations on Martin Schindler, but the start to the 2026 season has largely been disappointing.

He will feel confident in this Second Round match up against Brendan Dolan- Martin Schindler beat him 6-1 earlier this year and has won the last four against Dolan.

However, Martin Schindler will know that the home fans are expecting a deep run in this tournament.

Last year he did have some solid European Tour outings, but Schindler has won one match in the previous three events already played this season. He will want to start putting some consistent results together and that begins by seeing off a Brendan Dolan who has been struggling for consistency of his own since Players Championship 5 in late February.

Martin Schindler is still a solid maximum hitter and he will need those scores to put himself in a position to be playing on the last day at home and it does feel like he has enough to win this match.

European Tour 4- German Darts Grand Prix Day 1 Picks 2026 (Saturday 4th April)

The European Tour events are usually played from Friday through Sunday, but the German Darts Grand Prix takes place across Easter Weekend and that allows the organisers to use a Saturday through Monday schedule.

Some of the big Premier League names are missing this weekend- the top two are both absent and so is Gerwyn Price, but that doesn't lessen the importance of the event nor the motivation for those competing to pick up a big title.

It all begins with sixteen First Round matches played across two Sessions on Saturday before the top Seeds join the party on Sunday in Second Round action.

Sebastian Bialecki v William O'Connor: There is nothing outstanding about Sebastian Bialecki, but he is a player that is pretty consistent and that can be difficult to shake off.

He reached the Third Round at a European Tour event last month and Sebastian Bialecki put up plenty of wins across two Players Championship events held earlier this week.

The latter of those saw Bialecki reach the Semi Final and there will be some confidence within that he can keep the run going through the opening Round in Germany.

William O'Connor is over twenty places higher in the World Rankings and that may be a contributory factor to the prices for this First Round match.

However, O'Connor has been beaten in eleven of the last fifteen matches played and that includes early defeats in the last couple of European Tour events he has entered.

At his best, William O'Connor can be tough to beat, but he has not always been at his best over the last six weeks and Sebastian Bialecki is steady enough to take advantage if the Irishman is not at a normal level.

Niels Zonneveld to win & most 180s v Adam Lipscombe: Back to back strong performances at European Tour events suggests Niels Zonneveld is playing much higher than his current World Ranking.

The Darts Rankings do take some time to adjust into what we are seeing on a week to week bases and Zonneveld is a player making a move.

Early losses in the Players Championship events will not have dented the confidence too much considering the level produced and Niels Zonneveld should have enough to beat Adam Lipscombe.

The World Number 71 has won the most recent meeting between the two and Adam Lipscombe will feel he was hard done by when the draws were made for the Players Championship. He had a win on Monday and Tuesday, but was beaten in Second Round matches against Wessel Nijman and Andrew Gilding.

Niels Zonneveld may feel he is playing at the kind of level that has gotten the better of Lipscombe in recent matches and his power scoring can make the difference in this First Round match.
