We’re in Rotterdam this week, which means that van Gerwen and van Veen are both on home soil and can benefit from the raucous support of the darts-mad fans.
As ever, there are four quarter-finals, followed by two semi-finals and then the big final, all played over the course of one evening.
Premier League Darts Betting Tip: Gian van Veen to Beat Luke Humphries
Sometimes it’s a little hard to understand the odds on offer, and this is a case in point.
Gian van Veen is currently fifth in the table while Luke Humphries is seventh. Van Veen will benefit from the home support in Rotterdam and has a 7-3 head-to-head record against the Englishman, so he really should be the favourite here.
All the better for us because we can get 2.1 on van Veen.

Some sports can be a little predictable, as the cream always rises to the top and the great champions end up prevailing one way or another. But the same, thankfully, can’t be said about the Premier League of darts.
For starters, the current leader after 10 rounds is Welshman Jonny Clayton, who was certainly not among the favourites when the competition got underway. He’s on 24 points thanks to three event wins and a further runner-up spot. Despite leading the way as we’ve just reached the halfway stage, he’s 7.5 to go on and win the 2026 Premier League at darts betting sites.
Trailing him on 21 points is current PDC World Champion Luke Littler, who this season has been a bit of a case of feast or famine, winning three times but also being knocked out in the first round on four separate occasions. But the bookies aren’t taking too many chances, and ‘The Nuke’ is just 1.73 to go all the way.
Completing the Top 4 at the moment are Gerwyn Price, a winner in Antwerp and Manchester (the second favourite to win this year’s Premier League at 6.5) on 19 points, and Michael van Gerwen, who won in Week 1 in Newcastle and has been runner-up on three separate occasions. MVG, as they call him, is 9.0.
But that’s not as many runner-up spots as fifth-placed fellow Dutchman Gian van Veen. Remarkably, van Veen has made four finals and lost them all. So he’s consistent enough, but is going to have to start converting those appearances in the final into wins. He’s 13.0.
All of the Top 4 have won at least once this season, while Stephen Bunting, down in sixth, won in Belfast in late February.
