The quarter-finals on Night 14 of the 2026 PDC Premier League Darts season will conclude with Gian van Veen facing Stephen Bunting in Leeds on Thursday night. The Giant is fifth in the league standings, while Bullet is in seventh place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Gian van Veen pulled off an impressive 6-2 victory over Jonny Clayton before bowing out to Luke Humphries in the semi-final in Aberdeen last week. He is now two points behind fourth-placed Michael van Gerwen.
The Giant‘s scoring has dropped off in recent weeks, now at 95.99, including 52 180s. However, he has remained solid on the outer ring, converting 42.79% of his attempts at checkouts.
Van Veen has won four and lost six of his last 10 matches in all competitions. Notably, the last six matches between these two players were split, three wins apiece.
Meanwhile, Stephen Bunting suffered another first-round loss to Gerwyn Price last week. He now trails the top four by seven points and needs a huge finish to the season in order to reach the Playoffs.
Despite having the fewest 180s in the Premier League, Bullet has maintained a solid average of 98.24. However, his closing has been an issue at 34.07% on his checkout attempts (77/226).
Bunting has only won three of his last 10 matches, but none of those victories were in the Premier League.

Our Gian van Veen vs Stephen Bunting Prediction
Despite missing a week due to a health issue, Gian van Veen has kept within touching distance of the top four, and a deep run in Leeds could see him end the week inside the Playoff zone.
Stephen Bunting has struggled for consistency in the Premier League this year, and he will need a lot to go his way in order to reach the Playoffs. However, given his recent form, we doubt that Bullet will be able to get past the Dutchman in this one. Our Gian van Veen vs Stephen Bunting prediction is Gian van Veen wins.
