The second quarter-final on Night 8 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season will see Luke Humphries taking on Michael van Gerwen in Berlin. Cool Hand is fourth in the league standings, while Mighty Mike is in fifth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Luke Humphries has yet to win a Night in the Premier League this season, but he reached his fourth semi-final last week in Dublin before losing to Gerwyn Price 6-1.
Despite the results, Cool Hand’s scoring has been excellent, as he is one of only two players averaging over 100 (100.82). He has pinned 43 180s, but his closing has been poor at 35.15% on checkout attempts.
However, Humphries will be feeling very good about himself this week, having beaten Jonny Clayton to the Belgian Darts Open title on Sunday. He has now won eight of his last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, owing to Gian van Veen’s withdrawal last week, Michael van Gerwen got a bye to the semi-final, where he ran Luke Littler to the wire but came up agonisingly short, 6-5.
MVG’s form has dipped since missing Night 3 through illness. He now has the second-lowest average in the competition (95.97), but his closing has been solid at 41.96% on the outer ring.
Van Gerwen got to the semis of the Belgian Darts Open before losing to his upcoming opponent 7-2, which took his record to five wins and five losses in his last 10 matches in all competitions.
