Premier League Darts Night 13 Accumulator @ 2/1 (Bet365)

Leg 1: Josh Rock v Luke Littler - Luke Littler Win @ 2/7 (Bet365)

It is top against bottom in the opening match of the night as Luke Littler faces Josh Rock. Littler arrives in Aberdeen on the back of a 4th nightly win of the campaign in Liverpool last week and made no secret afterwards of his desire to climb back to the summit of the Premier League table.

While Rock has shown signs of life over the past month, his momentum was halted by Michael van Gerwen in a 6-3 defeat last week. The Northern Irishman has since suffered a couple of disappointing losses in this week's Players Championship events.

Littler has won each of his seven previous meetings with Rocky across all competitions, including their only clash in this season’s Premier League, and the Nuke looks well placed to make it eight in a row. 

Leg 2: Stephen Bunting v Gerwyn Price - Gerwyn Price Win @ 4/9 (Bet365)

Gerwyn Price can strengthen his grip on a playoff place by getting the better of Stephen Bunting on Thursday night. Having fallen at the first hurdle on each of the last three Thursdays, the Welshman still has work to do to secure his spot at next month’s showpiece at the O2. However, Price can take confidence from the fact he has won each of his previous two meetings with Bunting in this year’s Premier League.

The Bullet’s already slim hopes of a top-four finish faded further last week when he lost to Jonny Clayton. That means Bunting has now come away empty-handed from four of his last six quarter-final ties in the Premier League, and another early exit looks likely in Aberdeen.

Leg 3: Jonny Clayton v Gian van Veen - Jonny Clayton +2.5 Handicap @ 2/7 (Bet365)

I’m surprised to see that the bookmakers are struggling to split Jonny Clayton and Gian van Veen on Thursday night. Clayton has lit up the Premier League on his return this year, leading the table and looking all but assured of a top-four finish. While van Veen is still hanging on in the play-off race, he was edged out 6-5 by Clayton in one of last week’s semi-finals. In fact, the Dutchman has come off second best in three of his four meetings with the Ferret in this year’s Premier League. 

On that basis, the value lies with Clayton here, and I’m happy to keep the Welshman onside with a +2.5 start on the handicap.

Leg 4: Luke Humphries v Michael van Gerwen - Over 8.5 Legs @ 4/11 (Bet365)

Luke Humphries is an unappealing 8/11 favourite with Bet365 to defeat Michael van Gerwen on Thursday night. The reigning Premier League champion has struggled to build any real momentum in this year’s competition, with his top-four hopes beginning to look increasingly vulnerable.

While van Gerwen has also blown hot and cold, he starts the week inside the top four and just a point behind Gerwyn Price following last week’s 6-3 win over Josh Rock. It is also worth noting Mighty Mike averaged a monstrous 107.54 and fired in nine 180s in a narrow 6-5 defeat to Luke Littler last week.

With that in mind, this clash looks set to be closer than the pre-match odds suggest, with over 8.5 legs appealing - a selection that landed when the pair met in the Premier League just over a month ago. 

Premier League Darts Night 13 Weekly Winners

Tip 1: Luke Littler To Win Night 13 @ 6/4 (SpreadEx)

It’s hard to look past Luke Littler going back-to-back in Aberdeen on Thursday night. The teenage sensation secured his 4th weekly win of the campaign in Liverpool last week and will now have his sights set on leapfrogging Jonny Clayton at the top of the table.

Littler finds himself on what looks like the softer side of the draw, starting against Josh Rock before facing either Stephen Bunting or Gerwyn Price, the latter of whom he has beaten in all 5 of their meetings in this year’s Premier League.

The Nuke would then be the clear favourite in the final and hard to oppose, as he targets a repeat of his Aberdeen triumph in 2024.

Tip 2: Jonny Clayton To Win Night 13 @ 9/1 (SpreadEx)

Jonny Clayton continues to look undervalued for another weekly win, with the Welshman as big as 9/1 on SpreadEx to go all the way on Thursday night. The Ferret has already racked up a joint-high four nightly victories this season and has also finished runner-up on two occasions, most recently last week.

Clayton’s head-to-head record against opening opponent Gian van Veen makes for encouraging reading, and he has also held his own against both Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen across this year’s Premier League campaign. While a potential showdown with Luke Littler would be a stiff test, it is by no means beyond Clayton - he has already beaten the teenage star in a nightly final this season, and on current form he is more than capable of repeating the trick.
