Gian van Veen will take on Luke Humphries on Night 11 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season in Rotterdam on Thursday. The Giant is fifth in the league standings, while Cool Hand is in seventh place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Gian van Veen was unable to follow up on his finals appearance on Night 9, as he was knocked out in the first round in Brighton last week, 6-4 by Michael van Gerwen.
The Giant’s three-dart average in the competition has now dipped to 95.58, which is the second-lowest, but he has been solid on the outer rung, converting 44.19% of his checkout attempts.
Van Veen has now lost each of his last three matches, but he has won seven of his last nine against his upcoming opponent in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Luke Humphries’ title defence is looking increasingly unlikely, as he dropped to seventh place in the standings last week after another first-round elimination, 6-5 against Jonny Clayton.
Cool Hand Luke is one of only two players - along with Luke Littler - still averaging above 100 in this competition, but his closing has been very poor at just 35.23% (68/193).
Humphries featured in the Players Championship over the last week and reached the quarter-final of PC9 before bowing out in his opening match of PC10 on Tuesday afternoon.

Our Gian van Veen vs Luke Humphries Prediction
Luke Humphries is enduring a very poor title defence, but his dip in form has not been confined only to this competition, as he was also underwhelming in the Players Championship earlier in the week.
Gian van Veen has also not been at his absolute best of late, but he will have his home crowd behind him here and has gotten the better of Humphries in seven of their last nine encounters. The value lies with the Dutchman for us in this match. Our Gian van Veen vs Luke Humphries prediction is Gian van Veen +2.5.
