Quarter-final 3 on Night 2 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season will see Jonny Clayton facing off against Stephen Bunting. The Ferret is third in the league standings, while Bullet is eighth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Jonny Clayton made an impressive return to the Premier League circuit, producing an excellent performance to outscore debutant Josh Rock in the first round last week en route to a 6-2 victory.
The Ferret delivered the highest match average of the night (109.81) against Rock and converted 66% of his checkouts. Unfortunately, he bowed out in the semi-final to Gian van Veen 6-4.
Clayton has won six and lost four of his last 10 matches across all competitions. However, he has lost two of his last three against this opponent.
Meanwhile, Stephen Bunting ended last year’s Premier League at the bottom of the table, and he is back at the foot of the standings this year after a 6-2 opening round loss to Michael van Gerwen last week.
Bullet only managed a single 180 in the match but maintained a decent average of 97.59. The issue was his closing, having only hit 2/8 checkout attempts and a highest checkout of 40.
It’s been a tough start to 2026 for Bunting. He has now lost three of his last four games and has split his last 10, five wins and five defeats.

Our Jonny Clayton vs Stephen Bunting Prediction
While we all know how good Stephen Bunting can be on his day, he has made a slow start to 2026, and his closing against Michael van Gerwen in his opening match of the Premier League was genuinely poor.
Jonny Clayton may have lost to Gian van Veen last week, but his scoring throughout the night was extremely impressive. The Ferret looks up to it upon his return to the Premier League, but we’ll take advantage of favourable odds by giving him a headstart in this one. Our Jonny Clayton vs Stephen Bunting prediction is Jonny Clayton +1.5.
