The penultimate quarter-final on Night 6 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season in Nottingham will see Luke Humphries taking on Gian van Veen. Cool Hand is sixth in the league standings, while The Giant is in fourth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Luke Humphries has yet to find top gear in the Premier League this year. He has not reached a final as yet after bowing out in the semis to Jonny Clayton 6-4 in Cardiff last week.
Cool Hand’s scoring has been excellent, as he has the highest three-dart average (100.79) and has recorded the second-most 180s (33). However, his 33.93% checkout rate has been his biggest downfall.
Humphries only reached the third round of the UK Open before losing to Danny Noppert at the weekend. He is now 6-4 in his last 10 matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Gian van Veen has enjoyed a solid start to his Premier League debut season, but suffered his second first-round defeat last week, losing 6-4 to league leader Jonny Clayton.
The Giant’s scoring has dipped recently, now averaging 96.73. He has pinned 25 180s and has converted 43.09% of his checkout attempts, including a highest checkout of 167.
Van Veen was ousted in the opening round of the UK Open by Rob Cross. However, he has been a thorn in the side of Humphries, having already beaten him twice in this competition.
