Following five thrilling evenings in the 2024 BetMGM Premier League Darts, The Brighton Centre will play host to Night 6 on Thursday.
Premier League Darts Night 6
Runaway Premier League Darts leader Michael van Gerwen was unable to earn a fourth consecutive nightly win in Exeter last week, with Luke Humphries ending the Dutchman's recent dominance with a 6-3 quarter-final victory .
However, Cool Hand Luke came up short in his subsequent semi-final tie with eventual night winner Nathan Aspinall, whose recent resurgence has seen him rise up into the all-important top four.
Can the Asp continue his ascent up the table by bagging another five points in Brighton?
Premier League Darts Night 6 Predictions
Gerwyn Price has crashed out early in each of the last two weeks and he could come up short again in this Thursday’s curtain-raiser with Luke Humphries.
Michael van Gerwen is 8/13 on Betfred to get back on track against Rob Cross, but in-form Voltage should run the Dutchman close.
Having won five of his last six Premier League matches, Nathan Aspinall looks overpriced as the 7/4 outsider against Luke Littler.
Michael Smith’s last win came way back in Week 2 but he is fancied at 8/13 on Star Sports to further add to the woes of rock-bottom Peter Wright.
Who is the Night 6 Premier League Darts favourite?
Despite failing to land a weekly win so far, Luke Littler is the joint bookmakers’ favourite to bank the five point bounty in Brighton (3/1).
The Nuke will be desperate to get a first nightly success under his belt but he faces a tough opener against Nathan Aspinall. Whilst Littler should secure maximum points sooner rather than later, it could pay to look for value elsewhere.

Premier League Darts Tips for Night 6
Luke Humphries +1.5 (vs Price) & Luke Littler +1.5 (vs Aspinall) @ 3/4 William Hill
Gerwyn Price has been struggling for form since the early rounds of the BetMGM Premier League and his latest opponent Luke Humphries looks difficult to oppose after his weekend run to the final of the UK Open.
The World Champion has been performing better than his sixth-placed position suggests and I’m backing Cool Hand with a +1.5 head start on the handicap as part of a 3/4 double on William Hill.
We can pair that selection up by also opting to get Luke Littler onside with a +1.5 start of his own against Nathan Aspinall.
Teenage sensation Littler has won a minimum of five legs in nine of his 10 Premier League outings so far and I’m happy to side with a repeat here in a duel that could go the distance.
Luke Littler Most 180’s vs Nathan Aspinall @ 22/25 on BetMGM
Given his scoring prowess, I’ll also back Luke Littler to hit the most 180’s against Nathan Aspinall at 22/25 on BetMGM UK.
Littler racked up the most maximums in both of his matches last week, while the Asp lost the 180 count in each of his final two victories en-route to triumphing in Exeter. This selection is as short as 8/11 elsewhere.
