2025 Premier League Darts Night 5 Betting Tips | James Hubbard

• Over 7.5 180s In The Match: 11/10 at Paddy Power
• Luke Littler over 4.5 180s: 5/4 at Paddy Power

Luke Littler was unbelievable at times during his UK Open triumph and dealt with the standard against him superbly. The majority of players in world darts right now are raising their game against the young man, but the way he's comfortably brushing them aside is special to watch.

In Exeter on Night 4 he also produced some magic, averaging 112.34 and 109.67 in victories against Bunting and Aspinall before narrowly losing out in the final against Humphries. Incredibly Littler hit 20 180s in his three matches last week, which is more than Cross, Bunting, MVG and Gerwyn Price have hit over the opening four weeks of the Premier League.

Chris Dobey is on a tough run at the moment after losing his last four Premier League fixtures. He's now down to 7th on just three points after making the final on Night 1 so needs some results fast to avoid being isolated away from the Playoff positions. It certainly doesn't get any easier for 'Hollywood' though as he faces the in-form Littler in Brighton.

Although Dobey has lost his last four matches, he's still hitting maximums regularly and has it 15 in his last three defeats. That bodes well for my tips here as Littler is hitting 180s at a rate that is perhaps the greatest in darting history and hit 10 maximums in his quarter-final against Bunting last week.

• Nathan Aspinall to Win: 13/10 at Ladbrokes

For me, this is another match where I think the bookies have it wrong. Stephen Bunting remains winless in this year's Premier League and faces Nathan Aspinall who has shown a vast improvement in performance and results over the past two weeks.

Bunting lost again last week but did average 104 in defeat to Luke Littler, which is perhaps why the bookies have him favourite. However, 'The Bullet' lost again in his opening match last week, this time in Minehead at the UK Open. He was a little unfortunate in drawing fellow Premier League player Chris Dobey, but he was the favourite in that match too, and lost 10-6.

I don't think he's miles away from regaining his form, and I would say luck has certainly gone against him lately, but he'll know he needs to start picking up points otherwise he could have a similar season to Peter Wright last year and become the whipping boy of the tournament.

Nathan Aspinall has won three of his last five matches to rise to 5th in the table, just one point away from the Playoffs. Credit to him, he's overcome some early struggles just as he did last season and looks set to go on a charge.

He played well in Exeter but lost in the semi-final to Luke Littler who averaged 109. He then went to the UK Open and had a very solid run to the quarter-final where he lost 10-7 to Josh Rock, but did average 98.45 in defeat.

As I always say, momentum is everything in Darts and we'll use that theory again by backing an Aspinall win. Bunting hasn't won a game on TV now since February 1st, where he beat Peter Wright 4-2 at the World Masters.

Surely this is now playing on his mind, and unfortunately he would have targeted this match to get some points a few weeks ago, but now with Aspinall seemingly finding his form again, it could turn into another disappointing night for The Bullet.
