Stephen Bunting Current Form – LWLWW
Stephen Bunting has lost all of his matches at this year’s Premier League Darts event. He is eight points off the pace and is dire need of a win here. Last time out, he was well beaten by Nathan Aspinall and also failed to win at the weekend in Belgium.
Can Bullet finally get a win here?
Stephen Bunting News
The king of mind games? Bunting had to navigate an awkward exchange with Jermaine Wattimena at the Belgian Open. The Bullet was accused of playing silly mind games and saw his handshake at the end of the match ignored.
Gerwyn Price Current Form – LLWWL
Ahead of this round of fixtures, Price is just a single point behind the play-off position but comes into this encounter hoping to avoid another frustrating finish. After winning night three of the league, Price has failed to build on that performance. He has now lost to Luke Humphries twice and last time out to Michael van Gerwen.
He will know that a win here will see him move into the top four – so bet your bottom dollar that he will play every leg of Thursday evening with unbridled intensity.
Gerwyn Price News
He is favoured to come away with a win here, even though his most recent success in a tournament came last year. He is playing with a renewed sense of confidence and credited his improvement to a healthy confidence in his own ability.

Prediction: Gerwyn Price to Win
In truth, Stephen Bunting has shown very little to make us think that he deserves our confidence ahead of this one. Gerwyn Price isn’t the complete package, but he is consistent and for that reason, we think he claims victory here.
