Premier League Darts: Night Four Tips by SCCG Management

The fourth week of the Premier League Darts is set for Thursday night at the SSE Arena in Belfast, featuring eight players, many of whom skipped the Players Championship events earlier in the week, ensuring they are well-rested. Jonny Clayton aims to maintain his top spot, while Luke Littler hopes to reach his first final of the 2026 campaign.

Luke Littler vs. Jonny Clayton

Littler and Clayton face off in the opening match, with Clayton seeing a chance to widen the gap between himself and the tournament favorite. Clayton had a subpar performance at the Poland Darts Open, losing to Michael Smith in the last 16, whereas Littler won the tournament with an average of over 105. Littler’s odds are 2/7, while Clayton, a heavy underdog, offers value at 3/1 or above. For those backing Clayton, a +2.5 leg handicap might be wise.

MFT Tip: Clayton to win with +2.5 handicap (10/11)

Stephen Bunting vs. Luke Humphries

Humphries defeated Bunting 6-1 in the quarter-finals of the Poland Darts Open and has won their last four encounters. Bunting is seeking his first Premier League win of the year. Correct score odds for Humphries are 5/1 for 6-2, 6-3, or 6-4. Humphries is also favored to hit the most 180s, having matched the tournament-high 22, compared to Bunting’s four.

MFT Tip: Humphries most 180s (10/11)

Michael van Gerwen vs. Gerwyn Price

Van Gerwen, having missed last week due to illness, may not be at his peak in Glasgow, although Price also missed the Poland event. Both players average 97 with only a 1% difference in checkout percentage this season. A 6-4 or 6-5 outcome seems likely, making over 9.5 legs at Evens appealing. Price has won their last two meetings 12-3.

MFT Tip: Over 9.5 legs (Evens)

Gian van Veen vs. Josh Rock

Josh Rock, at the table’s bottom with six legs from three matches, is now focused on the Premier League. Gian van Veen, another newcomer, has reached two finals and was runner-up to Littler at the Poland Darts Open, where he hit a nine-darter. Despite Rock’s eagerness in Belfast, Van Veen is favored at 8/13 and for most 180s at 23/20.

MFT Tip: Van Veen to win (8/13)

Value bets for Premier League Darts Week Four

With Littler and Van Veen in separate draw halves, the 10/3 odds for both reaching the final are enticing. Littler might face Humphries in the semi-finals, while Van Veen’s draw includes two players potentially not at full strength and a local favorite yet to win.
