Premier League Darts Night 8 Accumulator

Best odds of 4/1 at Ladbrokes while publishing.

Leg 1: Jonny Clayton vs Josh Rock - Jonny Clayton Win @ 4/7 (SpreadEx)

Jonny Clayton suffered a quarter-final defeat for the first time in this year’s Premier League when losing to Luke Humphries last Thursday. But the Welshman has the ideal opportunity to bounce back immediately when he faces Josh Rock in the Berlin curtain-raiser.

The Ferret has been the standout performer thus far and remains top of the table, even if his lead has been slightly trimmed. Rock, in contrast, is enduring a nightmare Premier League debut, having lost all seven of his matches so far - including a 6-2 defeat to latest opponent Clayton back on the opening night of this year's Premier League. Therefore, the Welshman looks worth siding with at best odds of 4/7 on SpreadEx.

Leg 2: Luke Humphries vs Michael van Gerwen - Luke Humphries Win @ 8/15 (William Hill)

Luke Humphries looks well placed to add a few more points to his tally when he takes on Michael van Gerwen on Thursday night. While Cool Hand has yet to claim a weekly victory, he has been steadily racking up points in recent weeks, climbing to 4th in the table in the process. 

Humphries will head to Berlin brimming with confidence after clinching the Belgian Darts Open title at the weekend. Notably, Humphries defeated van Gerwen 7-2 in the semi-finals on his way to that triumph last Sunday, and he could once again prove too strong for the Dutchman, who has not won a quarter-final tie on his own merit since week two.

Leg 3: Luke Littler vs Stephen Bunting - Luke Littler Win @ 1/4 (BetMGM)

Following a slow start to his Premier League campaign, Luke Littler is beginning to motor. The teenage sensation has been the last player standing in two of the previous three weeks, including a remarkable comeback from 5-0 down to beat Gerwyn Price 6-5 in last week’s final in Dublin.

As for Bunting, he remains second-bottom of the table after falling to a 6-3 defeat to Littler last Thursday. The Nuke also got the better of the Bullet in four of their five meetings during last year’s Premier League, so he looks poised to come out on top again in the German capital.

Leg 4: Gerwyn Price vs Gian van Veen - Gerwyn Price Win @ 4/5 (Betfred)

Gian van Veen was absent in Dublin last week due to health reasons, and doubts remain over whether he will be fit enough to feature in Berlin this week. If the Dutchman does make it, it could be a short night for him, as he will come up against Gerwyn Price. 

The Welshman produced two emphatic displays to defeat Josh Rock and Luke Humphries last week and was on course to whitewash Luke Littler before a startling collapse. However, that setback is unlikely to have dented Price’s confidence, and he can get back up and running at the first attempt with a victory over van Veen.

Premier League Darts Night 8 Weekly Winners

Tip 1: Luke Humphries To Win Night 8 @ 4/1 (Bet365)

It’s surely only a matter of when, not if Luke Humphries finally gets a weekly win under his belt. The reigning Premier League champion reached the final two weeks ago, and he could go one better in Berlin by banking the five-point bounty at 4/1 on Bet365. 

Humphries lifted the European Darts Trophy in Belgium at the weekend, and if he carries that momentum into his quarter-final clash with Michael van Gerwen on Thursday night, he would be well positioned to see off Jonny Clayton at the semi-final stage - whom he beat in the Belgian final last Sunday.

A potential final against Littler or Gerwyn Price would be a tough obstacle to overcome, but Humphries wouldn’t be fazed by either challenge, especially after defeating Littler the last time they met in this year’s Premier League.

Tip 2: Gerwyn Price To Win Night 8 @ 7/1 (Sky Bet)

Luke Littler looks a little short to back for a second consecutive weekly win, with Gerwyn Price offering better value at best odds of 7/1 on Sky Bet. The Iceman came agonisingly close to claiming his second weekly victory in Dublin last week before hitting the self-destruct button in the final against Littler. 

Price could have the chance to exact revenge this week, and he might gain an edge if he has one less game to play, depending on Gian van Veen’s availability. The case is strengthened by the fact that the Welshman delivered a dominant display when defeating Luke Humphries 6-1 last week - whom he could find himself facing in the main event on Thursday night in Berlin.
