2026 BetMGM Premier League Darts - Dublin: Betting Tips

Stephen Bunting vs Luke Littler

Stephen Bunting has started to find some form again, but he will be disappointed with his opening round defeat at ET2 in Germany last week. He has also won just once in 2 weeks since claiming Night 4 and is handed an opening match against the world number one tonight.

Luke Littler suffered his first defeat in 11 matches in all competitions last week, 6-5 against Luke Humphries. He's looked unbeatable at times over the last month or so, and I don't expect him to be troubled tonight.

If the Nuke comes out flying, he can blow Bunting away, and if he does so, the 180s will be limited.

Josh Rock vs Gerwyn Price

Josh Rock has lost his first six matches during his Premier League debut and is clearly in deep trouble. The Northern Irishman fully deserved his place and has all the tools to get himself out of this mess, but time is running out for the 24-year-old.

I do think it's a matter of time before Rock becomes comfortable and plays as he can, and in the 180 market, I can see some value. Rock has recorded over 2.5 180s in his last three Premier League matches, and if he sticks with the Welshman tonight, that looks fantastic value to replicate itself again.

Jonny Clayton vs Luke Humphries

Jonny Clayton sits eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table and, remarkably, is still 13/8 to defeat Luke Humphries tonight. Clayton was a 6-1 winner over the Englishman in last week's final in Nottingham, averaging 99.59.

Humphries is, of course, a huge threat, but the way 'The Ferret' has thrived during his Premier League return makes it very difficult to ignore this price.
