The opening round sees eight PDC stars take on eight Nordic & Baltic players. Stephen Bunting is the top seed due to winning the Bahrain Masters earlier this year.

Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price and Luke Littler round out the rest of the seeds, while Luke Humphries, Jonny Clayton, Chris Dobey and Nathan Aspinall all look to go deep in Denmark.

The favourites

Of course, the two Lukes (Humphries and Littler) headline the betting market ahead of the event. Littler reached a second consecutive Premier League final last week, but he was unable to defend his crown.

The teenager lost 11-8 to Humphries at the O2 Arena, despite averaging over 100 and hitting ten 180s during the encounter. In the end, the 2024 world champion was simply too good when it mattered.

Nevertheless, he is still the man to beat in Copenhagen and he is 5/4 to lift the trophy with Ladbrokes.

Despite his stunning Premier League triumph in London, Humphries isn’t even seeded for the Nordic Darts Masters.

He faces one of the tricker opening matches, as Latvian Madars Razma stands in his way of a place in the last eight.

By winning the Premier League, the Englishman became just the fourth person to win the sport’s triple crown, adding this to his World Championship and World Matchplay titles last year.

Humphries heads into the event full of confidence and he is 7/2 to win the title with Ladbrokes.

FIRST’s top tip for 2025 Nordic Darts Masters

Given the fact he will be riding the crest of a wave after sealing Premier League glory, backing Humphries to go all the way in Copenhagen is FIRST’s top tip this week.

Pick: Luke Humphries to win the Nordic Darts Masters - 7/2 (Ladbrokes)

Extra tips

Gerwyn Price won this event last year, triumphing over Rob Cross in the final. He heads into the 2025 event high in confidence having reached the semi-finals of the Premier League.

This will be his first event outside of the Premier League since the start of May, indicating that he is certainly well rested. Price at his best is a danger to anyone, even Littler and Humphries.

As such, a price of 13/2 with BetMGM is indeed generous for the former world champion.

Pick: Gerwyn Price to win the Nordic Darts Masters - 13/2 (BetMGM)

Elsewhere, Jonny Clayton could be one to keep an eye on at the event. The Welshman’s form on the Euro Tour has been superb of late, capped off by winning the Dutch Darts Championship at the end of May.

He also reached the semi-finals of the European Darts Open last week and comes into the event fresh and ready to go. A tricky opener awaits against Darius Labanauskas, but he could face a winnable tie against Stephen Bunting in the quarter-final.

Clayton is certainly worth backing at 12/1 with BetMGM to go far in Copenhagen.

The value picks

Nathan Aspinall has been playing excellent darts over the previous few months. He won nights 10 and 15 in the Premier League, sealing a place at the end of season playoffs.

The ‘Asp’ may have been eliminated in the semi-finals at the O2, but looking back, it was a wonderful tournament for him, especially after his injury issues last year.

He faces a straightforward opener against Benjamin Reus of Denmark and if he plays at his best, he could get the better of Littler in a potential quarter-final matchup.

Odds of 14/1 with Ladbrokes offer some good value for the Englishman.

While it is expected that the eight PDC players will reach the quarter-finals, Jeffrey de Graff could upset the status quo.

The Dutchman reached the fourth round of the 2025 World Championship, being defeated by Michael van Gerwen. He also reached the final of Players Championship 8 earlier this year.

He faces an out of sorts Chris Dobey in his first match this week. A victory will likely set up a clash against Rob Cross.

Both men are certainly beatable given their form. Should he reach the semi-finals, who knows what could happen and he is worth taking a punt on at 50/1 with Ladbrokes.

FIRST’s value pick for 2025 Nordic Darts Masters

Going with Aspinall is tempting, but if De Graff hits the ground running against Dobey, it could pave the way for a solid tournament for the 34-year-old.

It is a big gamble at odds of 50/1 with Ladbrokes, but he has the talent to progress deep in the tournament.

Pick: Jeffrey De Graff to win the Nordic Darts Masters - 50/1 (Ladbrokes)

Odds correct at the time of writing.
