Premier League darts betting tips: Luke Littler and Luke Humphries to shine in Brighton

Despite losing in the night four final to Luke Humphries in Exeter last Thursday, Luke Littler is coming off a week to remember, as he went and added the UK Open to his ever-growing list of achievements.

Littler demolished James Wade 11-2 in the final, and it sets him up nicely for night five this week.

After four weeks, Humphries is at the top of the table, seven points clear of Littler. 

However, the gap between second and seventh is only five points, meaning there is plenty to play for on the south coast.

Stephen Bunting vs Nathan Aspinall

Key talking points: Littler and Humphries to battle it out yet again?

Gerwyn Price roared back to life during night three in Glasgow, defeating Littler, Humphries and Nathan Aspinall to claim the £10k weekly prize.

His clash against Michael van Gerwen is the standout tie of the quarter-finals this week. 

The Dutchman has yet to reach a final in the Premier League in 2025, while he also slipped to a shock loss to Robert Owen in the UK Open.

Fresh off his first UK Open title, Littler will be aiming to get revenge on Humphries this week. 

He averaged over 108 in his first two matches last week but couldn’t maintain this in the final. Chris Dobey, on the other hand, is trending in the wrong direction.

Since winning Players Championship 3 last month, he has won just two matches, losing a deciding leg to Dimitri van den Bergh in the UK Open. 

On the opposite side of the draw to Littler once again, Humphries will be looking to make short work of Rob Cross. 

The 2024 world champion looked incredible in wins over Ryan Searle and Ryan Joyce, remarkably conceding just two legs, but he came unstuck against Wade in the quarter-finals.

He defeated Cross in Exeter last week, scoring seven 180s and averaging over 100 in a 6-5 win, but ‘Voltage’ will take heart from his run to the sixth round of the UK Open.

Stephen Bunting has won zero points entering week five, and if Aspinall continues his recent form, it could soon be five weeks without a Premier League victory.

He did succeed with 60% of his checkout attempts while averaging 104.69 against Littler last week, yet still lost 6-3, indicating how big a gulf there is at the moment.

We at FIRST were on the money last week, predicting ‘the Asp’ to defeat Dobey, and it should be a straightforward win for Aspinall.

FIRST’s top tip for Premier League Darts night five

In the Premier League this season, Littler has averaged 5.25 180s per match, including a record 10 in his win over Bunting in Exeter.

As such, siding with Littler to score over 4.5 180s at 10/11 on BetMGM is our top tip of the week.

Pick: Luke Littler to score over 4.5 180s - 10/11 (BetMGM)

Extra tips

Price vs Van Gerwen over 9.5 legs – 17/20 (BetMGM)

Five of Price’s seven matches have gone over 9.5 legs in the Premier League, while Van Gerwen has seen four of his seven games this season go beyond ten legs.

Aspinall to defeat Bunting  – 6/5 (BetMGM)

Given the respective form of the two players, Aspinall defeating the 39-year-old at this price is simply too good to ignore.

Humphries -1.5 handicap to beat Dobey – 4/7 (BetMGM)

Humphries’ ruthlessness was on show at Minehead last week. He may not have won the competition, but he will be desperate to make it three nightly wins in just five weeks. Expect him to win comfortably against ‘Hollywood’ in Brighton.

Odds correct at the time of writing.
