Jonny Clayton and Michael van Gerwen will face off in the quarter-finals on Night 6 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season in Nottingham. The Ferret leads the league standings, while Mighty Mike is in fifth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Jonny Clayton has been the most impressive performer across the first five weeks of the Premier League, and got to his second final on Night 5, but lost to Luke Littler 6-4.
The Ferret has pinned the most 180s to date (39) and is averaging 98.72 per visit to the oche. He also has the highest checkout rate in the competition (46.21%) and a highest checkout of 156.
Clayton lost to compatriot Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals of the UK Open at the weekend. He has won six and lost four of his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, after missing Night 3 due to an illness, Michael van Gerwen has not looked at the same level he showed in the opening weeks. He’s suffered back-to-back first-round defeats, last week falling to Luke Humphries.
MVG has recorded the third-fewest 180s in the competition (21) and has the second-lowest average (96.16). However, he has been good on the outer ring, holding a 43.33% checkout rate.
Van Gerwen lost to veteran James Wade 10-3 in the third round of the UK Open, marking his sixth loss in his last 10 matches across all competitions.
