Littler, recently booed by the crowd, aims to make a statement and continue his remarkable run, having won all four past encounters against Ratajski. Despite recent health setbacks, Ratajski has shown resilience, but Littler's current form and track record suggest he's the likely favorite to win.

Luke Littler was booed after his last 16 win over Rob Cross and I'm expecting the reigning champion to come out an make a statement to the crowd at Ally Pally.

Krzysztof Ratajski is playing in the quarter-finals for just the second time and I'm expecting to struggle after the dominant force that Littler is.

Head to Head

Littler has won all four previous meetings including most recently at the UK Open this year.

Luke Littler Form

Luke Littler's 2025 campaign has been impressive with the world number one dominating the sport.

Having won the World Championship at the start of the year, he added the Premier League, World Matchplay and Grand Slam to his dominant season of six titles in total.

Littler began is World Championship title defence with a bang, averaging 101 and hitting two ton-plus checkouts (124 and 120) in a whitewash of Darius Labanauskas.

He wasn't as fluent in the early part of his 3-0 second round victory over David Davies, but was eyecatching with a 107+ average as he thrashed Mensur Suljovic 4-0 in the third round.

Littler was booed by fans at Ally Pally during his fourth round win, despite the world number one averaging 106+ in a 4-2 victory over Rob Cross.

Krzysztof Ratajski Form

After slipping out of the world's top 32 due to health issues, Krzysztof Ratajski kicked off his World Championship run with a 3-0 victory over Alexis Toylo including a 170 checkout.

He defeated Ryan Joyce in straight sets in the second round before playing his part in one of the matches of the tournament in the third round.

Ratajski trailed Wesley Plaisier 3-1 and looked to be packing his bag, but he clawed his way back to win 4-3, including surviving match darts and holding his nerve in the decider.

The Polish Eagle faced a tough last 16 clash with Luke Woodhouse but came through with a solid, if unspectacular, 4-2 victory to reach just his second World Championship quarter-final.

Verdict

Luke Littler has won all four previous head to heads and will have a point to prove after his interactions with the Ally Pally crowd following his last 16 victory. I'm backing him to dominate the Pole once again.
