Premier League Darts Betting Tips – Night 14

Leeds United are heading for the Premier League next season and there is bound to be a cracking atmosphere when the Premier League Darts rolls into the West Yorkshire city on Thursday evening.

There are just three weeks of the regular season remaining and time is running out to secure a top-four position.

Luke Littler has moved clear at the top of the Premier League table and the Nuke is assured of a play-off spot come the end of May.

However, it’s a little tighter the further down the table you go, and with Littler taking nightly honours in Birmingham last week, that only served to further congest the battle for a place at the O2.

Home hero can take Leeds crown 

Leeds supporter Luke Humphries will get plenty of support from the First Direct Arena crowd on Thursday night and Cool Hand Luke looks a good bet to deliver for his fans. 

The former world champion takes on Michael van Gerwen in a big-hitting quarter-final tie and, while that may seem like a tricky opening assignment, MVG may not be at the peak of his powers. 

The Dutchman has been working his way back to something like his best form in recent months, but Mighty Mike’s effort on the European Tour last week was not encouraging. 

MVG averaged only 89.52 when losing 6-3 to Dirk van Duijvenbode in the European Darts Grand Prix in Germany and a repeat of that level of performance will leave the Green Machine vulnerable. 

Humphries should be too strong for MVG and a victory for Cool Hand Luke would set up a semi-final tie against either Stephen Bunting or Chris Dobey. 

The Newbury arrowsmith will be a strong favourite to progress past either of those struggling performers and Humphries can’t meet Luke Littler until the final. 

At 9/2, Cool Hand Luke looks a good each-way bet on Night 14.

Littler heading for a whitewash victory 

Littler should blast past Nathan Aspinall in the quarter finals and backing the Nuke on the handicap or other markets can certainly be considered. 

However, there looks to be an excellent opportunity to land a big-priced winner in Leeds and the 18-year-old can be supported to whitewash the Asp 6-0 In the correct score market. 

Littler is the outstanding performer in the Premier League and that is no mean feat given the standard of the competition. 

The Nuke claimed victory in Birmingham last week and is now nine points clear at the top of the table. Aspinall has a shot at the play-offs and the battling qualities of the Asp can’t be ignored. 

However, the Stockport man has put huge effort into recent good performances on the Pro Tour, Euro Tour and Premier League and there may not be much left in the tank. 

If Littler can get in front, the Nuke may run away with this last-eight tie and, at 13/1, 6-0 looks a little more likely than the prices suggest.

Dobey value for basement battle 

Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey occupy the bottom two positions in the Premier League table and the loser of this quarter-final clash can wave goodbye to any lingering play-off hopes.

Bunting enjoyed a brief moment of joy in this competition when winning in Berlin on Night 9, but it has generally been a demoralising campaign for the Bullet, who was blitzed 6-2 by Cameron Menzies on the Euro Tour last week. 

Dobey would have hoped for more from this season’s competition, but Hollywood did win in Rotterdam on Night 11 and that was followed by a 105.61 average in Liverpool on Night 12. 

With that in mind, Dobey may just be able to dodge the Bullet at the quarter-final stage.
