Night 8 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season kicks off in Berlin with Jonny Clayton taking on Josh Rock in the first quarter-final on Thursday. The Ferret leads the league standings, while Rocky is in eighth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Jonny Clayton saw his lead atop the Premier League standings cut to just three points in Dublin last week after he exited the night in the first round, losing 6-3 to Luke Humphries.
The Ferret’s average in the tournament has dropped slightly to 98.10, and he now has the second-most 180s (46). However, he still holds the best checkout rate in the competition of 46.59%.
Clayton reached the final of the Belgian Darts Open at the weekend, where he was again beaten by Humphries 8-6. He has now won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Josh Rock is having a very tough Premier League debut, as he is the only player yet to win a game after suffering another first-round defeat last week, 6-0 to Gerwyn Price.
Rocky is ranked bottom in almost all statistical categories, including three-dart average (91.67), 180s thrown (14), and checkout average (21.67%). His highest checkout recorded is 141.
Rock also lost his opening match at the Belgian Darts Open 6-4 on Sunday and has split his last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats.

Our Jonny Clayton vs Josh Rock Prediction
Josh Rock has struggled to find his form in the Premier League on debut, as he has yet to win a match, and in fairness, has not really come close to doing so in any of the first seven nights in the competition.
Jonny Clayton suffered his first quarter-final loss last week, but he was in stellar form at the Belgian Darts Open over the weekend, and we feel he will carry that momentum into this one. Our Jonny Clayton vs Josh Rock prediction is Jonny Clayton wins.
