The quarter-finals on Night 13 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season will draw to a close with Luke Humphries facing Michael van Gerwen in Aberdeen on Thursday. Cool Hand is sixth in the league standings, while Mighty Mike is in fourth place. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Luke Humphries’ Premier League title defence is slipping away. He lost to Luke Littler 6-2 in the first round in Liverpool and is now five points behind the Playoff cutoff after 12 weeks. 

Cool Hand’s scoring has been very impressive, averaging 100.35, including 56 180s in this competition. However, his closing has been his downfall, currently at 36.16% - the third-worst in the Prem. 

Humphries got to round three of the PC11 event before a first-round elimination in PC12 earlier this week, which left his record at four wins and six losses in his last 10 in all competitions. 

Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen ran Luke Littler to the wire but lost 6-5 in the semi-finals last week. He is the gatekeeper to the Playoffs, currently four points above fifth-place Gian van Veen.

MVG has the third-most 180s in the competition (61) and is averaging 97.65 after 12 weeks. He has converted 96/238 attempts at the outer ring, giving him a 40.34% checkout rate. 

Van Gerwen did not play in the Players Championship this week. He is 5-5 in his last 10 matches and has won two of his three against this opponent in the Premier League this season.
