James Wade vs Mike De Decker prediction: Mike De Decker to record a win

At the round of 16 of the 2025 PDC World Masters, James Wade and Mike De Decker will face each other. Who will win this match? This and more information about the match are in the next paragraph. There are also options for betting.

James Wade - Slight underdog on paper

James Wade will compete in this match to advance to the subsequent round with a win. He is coming into this match coming off three straight losses. These losses were to Jermaine Wattimena (0-3), Stephen Burton (4-6), and Cameron Menzies (9-10). He will be looking for some redemption after falling off the World Grand Slam, Players Championship finals, and the PDC World Championship. After winning the World Grand Prix in 2007 and 2010, the UK Open in 2008, 2011, and 2021, the Premier League in 2009, the Championship League in 2010, the Masters in 2014, the European Championship, and the World Series of Darts Finals in 2018, James is currently ranked in 15th place in the world of darts. We anticipate the Englishman to provide a spectacular performance.

Mike de Decker - slight favorite

Mike de Decker has suffered consecutive losses to Luke Woodhouse (1-3) and Luke Littler (3-10). In November 2024, he recorded strong victories over Niels Zonneveld (4-10), Ian White (6-0), Richard Veenstra (6-1), Michael Smith (0-5), Mensur Suljovic (5-2), Wesley Plaisier (6-3), Boris Krcmar (6-4), Berry Van Peer (6-2), Josh Rock (1-6), Martin Schindler (6-2), Brett Claydon (6-1), and Danny Noppert (0-6). In 2016, he was awarded a PDC Tour Card. After failing to maintain it through the end of 2017, De Decker was forced to go without a Tour Card for the following two years. During that time, he primarily competed on the Development Tour, the Challenge Tour, and the occasional European Tour.

Expert Betting Tips

They have faced themselves a total of six times. In all those meetings, Mike De Decker has won five, including the recent 3-0 victory in the last match. I believe this will all play an important role despite being ranked 7 places below Wade. Both players truly have equal chances. Based on the stats, I am relying on Mike to get the win and advance.
