Head to Head
The pair have met four times with two wins each - all in Players Championship events this year. Clemens won the first two before Nijman levelled things with the more recent two victories.
Wessel Nijman Form
Wessel Nijman has been a revelation in 2025, firmly establishing himself in the world's top 32 and a bright new light in darts.
He captured two Players Championship titles (PC30 and PC34) in the latter half of the season, beating high-calibre opponents like Damon Heta and Luke Woodhouse in finals.
Nijman also reached the Last 16 of the World Matchplay and the Grand Slam of Darts this year, proving his floor game translates to the big TV stages.
Nijman's seasonal average sits comfortably in the mid-to-high 90s, and he is capable of 110+ bursts. In his Round 1 victory over Karel Sedlacek (3-0), he looked imperious, barely giving his opponent a dart at a double.
Gabriel Clemens Form
Gabriel Clemens has endured a mixed 2025, resulting in a slide down the rankings to 47th. However, he remains the most successful German player in World Championship history following his semi-final run in 2023.
Clemens navigated a potentially tricky first-round tie against Alex Spellman, winning 3-0 with a professional, if unspectacular, performance. He averaged just over 90, doing enough to punish Spellman's missed chances.
The German Giant has struggled for deep runs on the floor this year, with his best efforts coming in the Players Championship in Germany with a run to the semi-final on home turf in July.
Verdict
Nijman is playing with the confidence and aggression of a future top-10 player. His ability to relentlessly pound the treble 20 puts immense pressure on opponents to hold their own throw, something Clemens has struggled to do consistently this season.
Clemens has the experience and the crowd support though, and he can take a set in what is likely to be a Nijman victory at Ally Pally.
