2025 Premier League Darts Night 3 Betting Tips | James Hubbard

• Luke Humphries Most 180s & Win the Match: 9/5 at Midnite

Luke Humphries has started his 2025 Premier League campaign in magnificent fashion, claiming 8 points from a possible 10 to be top of the league. He lost in the final last week to Luke Littler 6-5 which will be a slight concern as he's now failed to beat him in the last two matches in the Premier League. Humphries won in Dublin last year and averaged over 104 in each of his three matches in a stunning display.

Stephen Bunting is still searching for his first win in the Premier League this year and it's certainly not going to be any easier for him tonight against the World Number 1. Like I said in my preview, it's been a very strange start considering he was in such brilliant form coming into this but the Premier League is such a hard tournament to compete in. If Bunting doesn't get a win in the next couple of weeks it may well start to play on his mind after struggling on his previous Premier League campaign in 2015.

I do think Bunting will improve soon, but tonight may be hard for him to settle against Humphries, especially with 'Cool Hand' in such brilliant form. Momentum in darts will forever be so crucial and that's why I expect Humphries to come through this game quite comfortably.

• Gerwyn Price to Win: 23/10 at William Hill

I've been tipping Gerwyn Price to beat Luke Littler a couple of times so far this year and that's only because I feel as though Price gets excited for these big matches and always produces quality.

Littler won in Glasgow last week and looked brilliant at times but he was a little fortunate in his quarter-final match with Rob Cross after trailing 5-1. 'The Nuke' played superbly to come back and win that match but you're always relying on a little bit of luck for a comeback like that to happen. The teenager did go on to beat both Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries to win the night but it could have all been so different had Cross held onto his lead.

I'm certainly not saying Littler is playing badly, he's been magnificent all year and perhaps deserved a little luck last week but I do feel he may be slightly frustrated with playing well and losing at times this year.

Price hasn't caught a light so far in the Premier League this year but he has won the last four meetings with Littler, including wins at the Bahrain Masters and on the PDC ProTour earlier this month. The odds just seem too big for me, especially over a best-of-11 match, anyone is vulnerable in this format and for that reason, I'm happy to tip this result.

• Nathan Aspinall to Win: 11/8 at AKBets

Rob Cross surrendered a 5-1 lead against Luke Littler last week but did play well averaging 99. It will certainly hurt him though and that may well still be at the back of his mind going into Dublin on Thursday.

As I said before, Darts is all about momentum, and 'Voltage' may have been rocked by last week's result and that could well halt his positive progress so far this season. Cross travelled to Holland for two ProTour events during this week, something I don't understand at all.

I do feel like some players are burning themselves out too quickly by travelling to these events and then travelling to a Premier League night the same week. Managing your schedule has become a huge issue in darts, now that there are so many tournaments so I worry about Cross's energy levels this week in Dublin.

Nathan Aspinall also travelled over to Holland but I can understand his reasoning as he needs to get some matches under his belt after struggling so much with injury and rhythm over the past 18 months.

He played much better last week in Glasgow averaging 96.25 in a 6-4 defeat to Gerwyn Price. 'The Asp' lost his first 3 games in last year's Premier League before turning round his fortunes so he won't be panicking too much yet.

Aspinall seems to be turning a corner and with his experience in the Premier League over the years, I can see this being the night he turns his fortunes around, especially after Cross's loss to Littler from 5-1 up last week.

• Over 9.5 Legs in the Match: 1/1 at BoyleSports
• Chris Dobey most 180s: 23/20 at Midnite

Michael van Gerwen has made the semi-finals in both Premier League nights so far but will be frustrated he hasn't made the final yet. The Dutchman did go to the first day of the ProTour this week in Rosmalen but suffered a shock defeat to Michael Flynn 6-4 before withdrawing from the next day's action. MVG has looked fantastic at times this year and also won the pairs' last meeting in the World Championship semi-final in January.

Chris Dobey made it to the final in week 1 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 a few days later, losing out 8-7 to Gerwyn Price. Dobey is now one of the sport's most in-form players after winning his second ProTour title of the season on Monday in Rosmalen, beating Jelle Klassen 8-4 in the final. Dobey has always been a wonderful floor player and over the past few seasons has shown he can play as well on TV also.

This match could go either way, Dobey is without a doubt the man in form but MVG has looked in great shape at times so far in the Premier League. I do think it's only a matter of time before the Dutchman claims a weekly title, but it won't be easy this evening and I expect this to be a close quarter-final tie.
