The darts travelling roadshow heads to Liverpool this weekend with plenty to play for as the top five continue to jostle for position.
Below, Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross and Peter Wright aren’t giving up the ghost just yet, but will need a points return this week if they are to threaten the playoffs come May.
Let’s take a look at the best betting in Liverpool for this Thursday:
Luke Littler to beat Gerwyn Price
Luke Littler has only lost three quarter-finals across 12 weeks of Premier League action, and we’re not backing the youngster to make it four on Thursday.
Gerwyn Price’s form is undoubtedly on the up, but with three wins to one in 2024 for Littler, it appears the 17-year-old has his number.
After leaving Rotterdam pointless last week, Littler should be able to make moves in the table again after slipping into second spot.
Luke Humphries vs Nathan Aspinall – Over 9.5 legs
Nathan Aspinall continues to underline himself as a major threat in this season’s Premier League.
The “Asp” won last week in Rotterdam and is now above MVG in the standings up in third.
With an unrivalled 101 tournament average, Luke Humphries can still rightfully consider himself as the ‘man to beat’ in the remaining weeks, but Aspinall has proven many times he has the game to compete with everyone in the Premier League.
We’re avoiding the winners market here and backing a 6-4 or 6-5 either way at over 9.5 legs.
Michael van Gerwen to beat Peter Wright 6-2
Peter Wright is a bad week in Liverpool away from being cast aside in the race for a playoff spot.
Regarding Wright’s elimination this season, it’s more of a ‘when’ rather than ‘if’, with just two wins in 14 matches propping him up with a +4 points tally.
MVG is blowing hot and cold as he often can at the back end of a Premier League season but should canter to a victory against a bruised “Snakebite”.
Rob Cross to beat Michael Smith
Rob Cross now has the longest losing run in the Premier League this season, going seven matches on the spin without picking up a point.
He’s lost to pretty much everyone on the roster across that run, except Thursday’s opponent Michael Smith.
In fact, “Voltage” has a surprisingly good 11-5 record against the “Bully Boy”, and Evens is too good for us to turn down a punt at Cross extending this run in Liverpool.
Smith hasn’t lost his quarter-final since week nine so he’s due one.
