Premier League Darts 2026 Odds

Josh Rock to hit over 2.5 180s vs Luke Littler @ 4/7

Let’s be honest, it’s been a bit of a miserable Premier League campaign on debut for Rocky - a 9-darter at his home night in Belfast was an obvious highlight, but aside from that, results have been hard to come by and it’s all been a bit of a struggle. It’s hard to imagine this will be his only call-up to the Premier League, so he’ll be hopeful he can put it right in years to come. He’d love to finish on a high though with a first ever victory over Luke Littler, only an outright win on the night can potentially prevent Josh from finishing bottom of the pile.

Littler has already wrapped up top spot in the league, having notched up six nightly titles along the way. I imagine most of his focus will be on the task in hand next week in London for Finals Night, but would probably like to cap off the league phase with another few wins against a player he’s always had the upper hand against in Rock.

With not a lot at stake, I’d prefer to venture into the reliable 180s with these two and it’s Josh I’ll be concentrating on - he’s hit over 2.5 180s in 28 of his last 41 matches, as well as hitting over 2.5 in all five previous meetings he’s had against Littler that have been over a similar length of format as this one. Three maximums for Rocky looks far more likely than not as he looks to go out with a bang.

Luke Humphries to beat Michael Van Gerwen @ 8/15

This was a fairly easy selection, based on what we’ve seen and heard from the two players over the past week. Humphries looks to be timing his return to form to perfection ahead of Finals Night - having looked odds against finishing in the top four just a few weeks ago, Luke has now booked his spot in London with a night to spare, thanks to reaching three nightly finals on the bounce. It was third time lucky for Humphries in Birmingham last week as he finally picked up his first nightly title this campaign.

Cool Hand quickly followed up his success in the Premier League with an outstanding day on the Pro Tour in Leicester on Monday - he picked up his second Players Championship title of the year in fine style, defeating Jermaine Wattimena 8-4 in the final. Humphries posted averages of 112, 104, 109, 106, 95, 103 and 105 over the course of the day as he found his A-game.

With Van Gerwen already being eliminated from the Premier League with a night to go and the fact he’s already emphasised in interviews that his focus is on ranking events this year, I really can’t see Van Gerwen being too fussed about what happens in Sheffield on Thursday evening.

Humphries should be more up for it and he’s looking to record another victory over Mighty Mike, having won three of his last four meetings against the Dutchman. Momentum could be key heading into Finals Night and Humphries looks to have it in barrel loads right now, he won’t want that to change here.
