Cool Hand Luke came second in the league phase with 34 points, while The Asp finished third with 26 points. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Luke Humphries enters the Playoffs as the second-favourite behind Luke Littler, who he lost to in the final last week in Sheffield 6-3.

Cool Hand Luke averaged 99.67 in the league phase and had a checkout percentage of 41.11%. He was also the only other player (aside from Littler) to throw 100+ 180s this season (101).
Meanwhile, Nathan Aspinall had a stunning second half of the season, during which he claimed both his Nightly wins in Manchester and Aberdeen before edging Michael van Gerwen for the final Playoff spot.
The Asp has recorded 93 180s and is averaging 95.70 this season. He has a checkout rate of 38.41%, which ranks fifth in the Premier League this year.

Our Luke Humphries vs Nathan Aspinall Prediction
Nathan Aspinall has arguably been the standout performer over the second half of the season, but has understandably been overshadowed by the record-breaking performances of Luke Littler.
However, you simply can’t write off Luke Humphries.
