The final night in the group stage of the 2026 Premier League Darts season kicks off with Jonny Clayton taking on Stephen Bunting in Sheffield. The Ferret has won three of his four matches against Bullet in this competition, and we are leaning toward another win for the Welshman as our main prediction.
Jonny Clayton saw the gap to top spot widen to seven points last week after losing 6-0 to Luke Littler in the opening round, but he is still guaranteed second place heading into the Playoffs.
The Ferret’s scoring has dipped in recent weeks, now averaging 97.33 with 84 180s recorded to date. However, he still has the best checkout rate in the competition at 45.07%.
Clayton lost in the second round of the Players Championship 17 event on Monday and has a record of seven wins and three losses in his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, for a second successive season, Stephen Bunting will not feature in the Premier League Playoffs, having only managed 13 points across the 15 weeks in this year’s competition.
Bullet was defeated 6-0 by Luke Humphries last week. His stats read as 97.96 (three-dart average) and 33.46% (checkout rate). He has recorded 60 180s - the third-fewest in the Prem.
Bunting reached the quarter-final of PC17 before bowing out to Jermaine Wattimena. He is also 7-3 in his last 10 matches in all competitions.

Our Jonny Clayton vs Stephen Bunting Prediction
Jonny Clayton secured his spot in the Premier League Playoffs with a couple of weeks to spare. His level of play has dipped since then, but he will know the importance of getting a win here to start building up momentum heading to the O2.
Stephen Bunting has struggled to find his best in this competition again this year, and while he was much better in the Players Championship on Monday, we feel he will be unable to get the better of the Ferret in this one. Our Jonny Clayton vs Stephen Bunting prediction is Jonny Clayton wins.
