Premier League Darts Night 5 Accumulator Tip
The four-fold is a best price of 23/10 with bet365 when writing.
Michael van Gerwen vs Luke Humphries - Luke Humphries + 1.5 Handicap
Luke Humphries’ performances in this season’s Premier League have arguably been stronger than his points tally suggests. Cool Hand has suffered a few narrow defeats, so he’s unlikely to give Michael van Gerwen an easy ride.
MVG has been a bit more consistent during the opening month of the Premier League, although he was edged out 6-5 by Gerwyn Price last week. Another close contest could be on the cards here, with Humphries looking a solid option with a +1.5 handicap.
Gian van Veen vs Jonny Clayton - Over 8.5 Legs
Gian van Veen spoiled Josh Rock’s homecoming last week and will be in a similar pantomime villain role when he faces Jonny Clayton in Cardiff on Thursday night. The Dutchman secured a comfortable 6–2 win over Rock last week, but taking on Premier League leader Clayton is unlikely to be so straightforward. The Ferret has won six of his nine matches so far and will also enjoy strong backing from the Welsh crowd.
The pair’s opening night clash nearly went the full 11 legs, making over 8.5 legs a sensible option here at 4/11 on BoyleSports.
Gerwyn Price vs Stephen Bunting - Gerwyn Price Win
Gerwyn Price tends to be fired up whenever he takes to the oche, but he’ll be even more motivated to make his mark in front of his home crowd on Thursday night. The Iceman has made a solid, if unspectacular, start to his Premier League campaign and currently sits 4th on 7 points.
While Stephen Bunting will be buoyed after getting off the mark by banking all five points in Belfast last Thursday, he could hardly have asked for a tougher opener in the Welsh capital. The Bullet is unlikely to roll over, but having the crowd behind him could prove crucial in helping Price get over the line.
Luke Littler vs Josh Rock - Luke Littler Win
The alarm bells aren’t ringing just yet for Luke Littler, but he’ll be eager to get his Premier League campaign moving, and a quarter-final tie with Josh Rock offers the perfect opportunity. The teenage sensation has accumulated just 4 points across the opening four weeks and sits second from bottom, but he now faces 8th-placed Josh Rock in Cardiff.
While Rock wowed the crowd with a roof-raising nine-dart finish in Belfast last week, he hasn’t had much else to celebrate on his Premier League debut, having come away empty-handed from each of his opening four matches. Therefore, Littler looks well-placed to steady the ship and claim a couple of points on Thursday night.
Premier League Darts Week 5 Outright Tips
Gerwyn Price To Win Night 5 - @ 11/2
Having already claimed one weekly victory, Gerwyn Price will be desperately looking to add another in front of a passionate Welsh crowd on Thursday night.
Price has shown he can deliver on home soil, having taken top honours at this venue during the 2023 edition of the Premier League. It won’t be easy to repeat the feat, with last week’s winner Stephen Bunting standing in his way and a possible semi-final showdown against Luke Littler on the horizon. The Iceman is unlikely to freeze under pressure though, particularly with the Cardiff crowd behind him, and if he can reach another final, that momentum could see him pocket all five points at best odds of 13/2 on BetMGM.
Jonny Clayton To Win Night 5 - @ 14/1
Jonny Clayton, another Welsh homecoming hero, looks overpriced at 14/1 on Paddy Power to be the last man standing on Thursday night. The Ferret has made an impressive start to his Premier League return and heads back to his homeland setting the pace in the table.
Notably, Clayton has already won each of his opening four quarter-final matches this season, and he also boasts a weekly victory, having claimed the Night 3 crown in Glasgow a fortnight ago. What’s more, the Welsh ace has already beaten his quarter-final opponent Gian van Veen once this season, while back-to-back victories over Luke Littler in recent weeks suggest he’ll be a tough man to stop in his own backyard at a big price.
