2025 Premier League Darts Night 2 Betting Tips | James Hubbard

• Rob Cross over 2.5 180s: 5/4 at BoyleSports
• Luke Littler Most 180s, Highest Checkout and Win: 13/8 at Betfair

Rob Cross has started the season superbly with a win in the Dutch Darts Masters and winning Players Championship 1 on Monday. He beat Stephen Bunting last week in his first game and was pretty impressive averaging 97.61 before losing his semi-final 6-4 to Chris Dobey. Cross was poor in that game though only averaging 89.55.

Luke Littler has continued his brilliant form in 2025 but is still finding wins hard to come by. Losing with an average of 113.91 to Michael van Gerwen last week has summed up 'The Nuke's' luck since his win at the World Championship. If he continues to play like he has done though, he won't continue losing and it's a matter of time before it all comes together for him.

I expect Littler to get out of the traps this evening and get his first win in his 2025 Premier League campaign. Cross is clearly in big form but I just think tonight is the night where Littler's luck turns around.

• Michael van Gerwen most 180s: 7/5 at Betfair

Michael van Gerwen was looking hungry and very sharp last week in Belfast which was slightly surprising as he hasn't played a great deal so far this season and skipped the Players Championship floor events earlier in the week. I understand it though as it looks as if the Dutchman may well be managing his schedule this season.

He beat Luke Littler in his first match last week, averaging 105.91, and hitting 6 180s in a game he could easily have won 6-3 after missing 3 clear at a double before ultimately winning a last-leg decider. He then lost 6-5 in a tight match against eventual night 1 winner, Luke Humphries.

Stephen Bunting lost his first match back in the Premier League since 2015, 6-4 to Rob Cross. 'The Bullet' looked nervous and failed to live up to his brilliant form coming into this event, I think we can probably forgive him for that though as it's been so long since he was on a Premier League stage.

I have a feeling this season Michael van Gerwen is looking in a bullish mood which always tends to bring the best out of him. Last week's win against Luke Littler will do wonders for his confidence. He hit 6 180s during that match whilst Bunting only hit 2 so I think the odds for the Dutchman to have the most 180s are too big to ignore.

• Gerwyn Price To Win & Most 180s 2/1 at Betfred

Nathan Aspinall showed signs of his usual high standards last week as he battled back from 3-0 behind against Luke Humphries before succumbing 6-2. An average of 95.73 and one 180 is pretty much where his game is at the moment. He did play this week in the Players Championship floor events but failed to get past the last 32.

Gerwyn Price surprisingly lost to Chris Dobey 6-4 last week but he didn't play badly, averaging 96.21 and 3 180s. Dobey made it through to the final which was a great run for someone who seemingly looked out of form coming into that match so I'm sure Price took plenty of positives from his performance. The Welshman continued his recent resurgence with a win at Players Championship 2 on Tuesday, beating Jonny Clayton, Martin Schindler, Luke Littler, Ryan Searle, and then Chris Dobey 7-6 in a fantastic final. The fact he's seemingly willing to enter most tournaments again this season is a fantastic sign for any Gerwyn Price fan.

For me, I think Gerwyn Price will be far too strong tonight and will pile more misery onto the struggling 'Asp'. There have been plenty of positive signs for the Englishman, but I just don't think he's quite there yet with his rhythm and I expect Price to come through this match fairly comfortably.

• Over 9.5 Legs in the Match: 23/20 at BoyleSports
• Chris Dobey most 180s: 6/5 at Midnite

Luke Humphries was extremely impressive last week in Belfast in seeing off Nathan Aspinall, Michael van Gerwen, and Chris Dobey in the final. His best performance was seeing off MVG in a last-leg decider 6-5 with a 99.31 average.

It was particularly impressive after MVG looked so good in denying Luke Littler in the previous round. Another season in which Humphries comes into the Premier League as World Number 1 and still he hasn't got the credit he deserves, but a win last week has put the marker down to the rest of the field.

Chris Dobey made it to the final last week after being completely out of form in the lead-up. It clearly did the world of good for his confidence as he made it to the final of Players Championship 2, losing out 8-7 to Gerwyn Price.

I don't think this match will be straightforward at all for Humphries and I expect it to be a tight contest. As well as Luke Humphries has been playing lately, he's certainly not hitting the maximums like he usually does so I think Dobey most 180s is brilliant value.
