Martin Lukeman v Rob Cross Expert Tips & Predictions
Martin Lukeman and Rob Cross will contest one of Friday night’s two quarter-final ties at the Grand Slam of Darts. Lukeman has made a real splash on his Grand Slam debut, he cruised to top spot in Group C before swatting aside Ross Smith in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Cross placed second in Group C but has since produced his best performance of the tournament to reach the last-eight with a 10-4 win over Ritchie Edhouse on Wednesday night.

Martin Lukeman v Rob Cross Best Bet
🎯 Rob Cross -3.5 Leg Handicap
📈 Odds: 2.0
Lukeman defeated Cross 5-3 during the group stage last weekend, which could serve as a psychological advantage when the pair renew hostilities on Friday night. However, ‘Voltage’ will be seeking revenge and the pre-match odds imply that he will emerge victorious. With Cross too short to support as a single, backing him with a – 3.5 handicap start certainly appeals at 2.00.
Cross delivered a darting masterclass in finishing when downing the aforementioned Edhouse on Wednesday night. The 34-year-old posted a finishing percentage of 83.33, missing just two of his 12 efforts at the outer ring. What made that performance all the more impressive was the fact Cross averaged just under a ton. Having finished as runner-up in Wolverhampton last year, Cross also has course and distance form in his locker, not to mention he has enjoyed multiple deep runs in TV majors throughout 2024.
While Lukeman’s string of impressive performances en-route to this stage can’t be overlooked, overcoming Voltage in a race to 16 looks a bridge too far. Cross sent out a timely reminder that he has what it takes to lift the trophy by brilliantly dismantling recently crowned European champion Edhouse. He won that game with a six-leg margin, making him an attractive option to overcome a -3.5 hurdle against ’Smash’ on Friday night.
