Night 6 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season kicks off in Nottingham with Josh Rock taking on Stephen Bunting in the first quarter-final. Rocky and Bullet are eighth and seventh in the league standings, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Josh Rock is the only player yet to win a match in the Premier League this season. Last week, he was ousted in the opening round 6-4 by Luke Littler.
Rocky also has the lowest three-dart average (94.37) and the lowest checkout rate in the competition (26.09%). He has pinned just nine 180s but is the only player to throw a nine-darter so far.
Rock had a much better showing at the UK Open over the weekend, where he reached the semi-final before falling to Littler. He has now split his last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats.
Meanwhile, Stephen Bunting was unable to follow up his first nightly win from week 4 last week as he suffered a first-round defeat to Gerwyn Price, leaving him on five points.
However, Bunting is still putting up good numbers, currently one of three players averaging over 100, while pinning 43.24% of checkout attempts. He has 12 180s and a highest checkout of 143.
Bunting got to round three of the UK Open before losing to this very opponent. He has won seven and lost three of his last 10 matches in all competitions.

Our Josh Rock vs Stephen Bunting Prediction
Josh Rock has struggled to find top form in this competition, still winless after five nights, while holding the lowest three-dart average and checkout rate, and recording only nine 180s so far.
However, Rocky had an impressive run at the UK Open over the weekend, where he reached the semi-final, beating this very opponent en route to the final four. That performance would have given him a massive boost of confidence, and we feel that even if he loses here, it won’t be by a big margin. Our Josh Rock vs Stephen Bunting prediction is Josh Rock +1.5.
