2024 Premier League Darts Betting Tips And Predictions

The excitement of the 2024 Premier League Darts continues on Thursday, promising another night of thrilling tungsten action.

Week three saw us head to Glasgow, where Michael van Gerwen edged out Luke Humphries in the final to claim the £10,000 weekly prize.

Betting sites anticipate another intensely competitive Premier League week, as the players head to Newcastle for week four of the 17-week-long competition.

This season an array of new faces have entered the competition, with Rob Cross, Luke Littler, and reigning world champion Luke Humphries stepping in for Jonny Clayton, Dimitri Van den Bergh, and Chris Dobey. 

After week three, Van Gerwen is the 5/2 frontrunner among darts betting sites to win the Premier League trophy at the 02 Arena on May 23. 

Hot on his heels are Littler (11/4) and the reigning world champion Humphries (10/3).

Last season's runner-up, Gerwyn Price, stands as the fourth favourite with odds of 6/1 supplied by Boylesports. 

Meanwhile, the 2023 world champion and week one winner, Michael Smith, is pegged at 10/1 for the title, down from the 11/1 he was in week one.

For those seeking a higher risk and reward, Rob Cross carries odds of 12/1, Nathan Aspinall is 33/1, and Peter Wright is now a huge outsider with odds of 80/1. 

Littler And Humphries Favourites To Win In Newcastle

Suprisingly, Michael van Gerwen is positioned as the 16/5 third favourite to win night four, despite triumphing in successive weeks.

The Dutchman sits behind Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, who are both a slightly shorter 3/1 to claim a first weekly title.

While the 2024 world finalists arguably have easier draws, against Cross and Wright, they will have to face MVG at some stage of the evening if he prevails against Price in his opener.

The likes of Price, Smith and Cross find themselves in a competitive range between 13/2 and 11/1 odds with Coral. 

At the other end of the spectrum, current form places Aspinall and Wright as the outsiders for success this week, with odds of 16/1 and 22/1 available for either of the pair to clinch victory.

Will We See A New Winner In Week Three?

The quarter-final match between Price and Van Gerwen takes the stage as the headline act, but this could be the most competitive week so far.

After subpar performances in the Players Championship events in midweek, new betting sites may be correct by installing Might Mike as the third favourite this week.

He didn't record a single ton-plus average on route to victory last week in Glasgow, but his B game was still enough to reign supreme.

The match of the night came in the opening round, in which Price edged out Littler 6-5 in a Premier League classic, but he fell victim to a rampant Humphries in the semi-finals.

Cool Hand looked destined for victory as he took the torch off MVG in terms of averages, recording three averages in excess of 100.

If he is able to build on those performances as he becomes accustomed to the Premier League format, Humphries could be the one to beat this week.

Smith To Bully His Way To The Final

There is a real chance for any of the four players from the top half of the draw to go on a run to the final this week.

In our eyes, best positioned for that run is week one winner Michael Smith.

After a disappointing week in Glasgow, Bully Boy faces Nathan Aspinall in round one, if he wins a tie with Cross or Humphries awaits.

Being such a rhythmic player, this format suits Smith down to the ground and if he is able to pick up a comprehensive win over the Asp in his opener, his confidence will soar.

We, along with betting apps, expect Humphries to overcome Cross in his match and it could set up for a blockbuster affair in the semi-final.

Smith appears to be going under the radar as a 9/1 shot this week, but just like in the opening night, you can never write off the former world champion.

The duo of Smith and Humphries are well worth keeping an eye out this week, as they will be eager to open up the gap between the top and bottom half of the table.

Both players currently sit in the top four, and would qualify for the Premier League finals night if things stayed the same, but chasing down MVG in top spot is the primary aim.
