Night 7 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season gets underway in Dublin with Gian van Veen taking on Michael van Gerwen in the first quarter-final. The Giant is fourth in the league standings, while Mighty Mike is in sixth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Gian van Veen has enjoyed a solid start to his debut season in the Premier League, but he will be looking to bounce back after losing to Luke Humphries 6-4 in the first round last week.
The Giant’s scoring has dropped off recently, now averaging 96.13, including 25 180s in this competition. He has converted 57/134 of his checkout attempts and has a highest checkout of 167.
Van Veen lost to eventual champion Wessel Nijman in the second round of the European Darts Trophy in Germany this past weekend - his sixth loss in his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, since missing Night 3 with an illness, Michael van Gerwen’s form has dipped significantly, having now suffered three consecutive first-round defeats in this competition coming into this week.
MVG now has the second-lowest three-dart average in the competition (95.59) and the third-fewest 180s (23). However, he has maintained a solid 41.18% on checkout attempts.
Van Gerwen also lost in the first round of the European Darts Trophy at the weekend, marking his seventh defeat in his last 10 matches.
