Jonny Clayton and Josh Rock will face off in the quarter-finals on Night 9 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season this Thursday. The Ferret is in second place, while Rocky is bottom of the league standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
For a second week in a row, Jonny Clayton suffered a first-round elimination in Berlin, losing 6-3 to Luke Humphries, which saw him overtaken to first place in the standings by Luke Littler.
The Ferret has pinned 46 180s, but his three-dart average has now dipped to 97.55. Still, he has the best checkout rate in the competition to date of 45.95% (85/185).
Clayton lost to James Hurrell in the third round of the Players Championship 7 event on Monday, marking his fourth defeat in his last 10 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Josh Rock will be feeling a lot better after finally getting his first points in the Premier League last week by beating this very opponent 6-3 in the opening round.
However, Rocky has plenty to do to get into Playoff contention, as he still has the fewest 180s (21), lowest three-dart average (91.15) and worst checkout conversion (24.44%) in the competition.
Rock did not feature at the PC7 event this week and has now won only four of his last 10 matches across all competitions.

Our Jonny Clayton vs Josh Rock Prediction
Josh Rock will be feeling a lot better after recording his first win of the Premier League season last week, but now comes the big test - can he follow up on that result and try to get off the foot of the table?
Jonny Clayton has not been at his best in the last couple of weeks, but we’re marking that down more as a minor dip rather than an indication of what is to come. We fancy the Ferret to bounce back here, but will opt for some safety by backing him in the underdog role. Our Jonny Clayton vs Josh Rock prediction is Jonny Clayton +1.5.
