Night 16 of the Premier League darts season kicks off with Luke Littler taking on Stephen Bunting in the opening match in Sheffield. The Nuke is the league leader, while Bullet is bottom of the standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Luke Littler is nine points clear at the top of the standings and will head into the Playoffs as the favourite to win the title. He has the highest average in the competition and has hit 162 maximums.
Last week, the Nuke played out arguably the best match of this season’s Premier League to beat Luke Humphries in the quarter-final, but lost to Chris Dobey in the semis.
Littler has only won one of the last seven Nights, but still has a very good record of six wins from his last eight league matches since the start of this month.
Meanwhile, this will be Stephen Bunting’s final match in the 2025 Premier League, but he is still in with a chance of avoiding a last-place finish with a solid run in Sheffield.
The Bullet was outclassed by Nathan Aspinall last week, losing his first-round match 6-1, which marked his seventh loss in his last 10 matches across all competitions.
Bunting has faced this opponent four times in the Premier League this season, but has lost three of those games.
