Premier League Darts Tips: Glasgow Predictions & Odds Night 3
Gerwyn Price halted Michael van Gerwen’s perfect start to the Premier League campaign with a 6-3 win in the night two final in Antwerp.
Van Gerwen, who lifted the curtain-raiser in Newcastle, had booked another spot in the final after seeing off Luke Littler in the semi-finals. However, the seven-time champion couldn’t keep the run going, as Price — battle-hardened from surviving two last-leg shootouts earlier in the evening — controlled the decider to take the nightly crown.
Earlier in the session, Littler kicked off the event’s first-ever stop in Belgium by squeezing past Luke Humphries in a deciding-leg thriller of his own, but the “Nuke” struggled against MVG’s 100+ average in the semi-finals and is still without a final appearance after two weeks of action.

Darts Premier League Tips: Night 3
So, to Glasgow we go for the third week of action, and without a Scottish player in the field expect loyalties to be split across the OVO Arena.
Let’s take a look at some of the best betting tips for Thursday night’s action:
Luke Humphries to win night three at 15/4 with bet365
We’re backing a third different winner in as many weeks in Glasgow.
Sitting in the top half of the draw, former world number one Luke Humphries will avoid the likes of Gerwyn Price, Luke Littler and in-form Michael van Gerwen until the final, and it’s safe to say that “Cool Hand” is due a result in the Premier League.
Humphries has lost two of his three matches so far this campaign, but has made the final in Glasgow the last two seasons in the Premier League.
Luke Littler -1.5 handicap vs Michael van Gerwen at 8/13 with bet365
After suffering a 6-4 defeat to MVG last week in Antwerp, expect Littler to have the bit between his teeth this Thursday as he looks for a reversal in fortunes against the seven-time champion.
Littler hasn’t done a lot wrong yet in the Premier League, but is struggling to get over the line in these short dashes to six legs.
Van Gerwen is showing some good form of late, but Littler is a class above — if the youngster turns up, then there is a chance he can blow “Mighty Mike” away, underlining why he is the world champion and world number one.
6-4 or better for Little grabs our attention at a stretched price.
Johnny Clayton vs Gerwyn Price — Over 10.5 legs at 11/4 with bet365
This all-Welsh affair looks set to be one of the best opening round clashes of Thursday.
Clayton and Price know each other’s games inside out, and despite an 18-7 lead over the “Ferret” in the head-to-heads, Price will know how much of a threat Clayton is on the Premier League oche.
They sit second and third in the league standings, and we’re not expecting much more to separate them at the end of their race to six on Thursday night.
