Luke Littler and Stephen Bunting will face off in the quarter-finals on Night 8 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season this Thursday. The Nuke is second in the league standings, while Bullet is in seventh place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a slow start to the tournament, Luke Littler is starting to find his rhythm and notched up his second nightly win in Dublin, coming from 5-0 down to beat Gerwyn Price 6-5 in the final.
The Nuke pinned 12 180s last week and recorded a Big Fish checkout. His tournament average is now 101.25; he has 54 180s (most in the competition), and a 41.94% checkout rate.
Littler suffered a shock second-round defeat at the Belgian Darts Open on Sunday, but has still won eight of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Stephen Bunting slipped back to second-bottom in the Premier League last week after suffering a 6-3 defeat to this very opponent in the quarter-finals.
Bullet’s scoring has been impressive at 99.14%, despite only recording 21 180s in the competition. However, his closing has been well below expectations at 36.36% (57/134).
Bunting lost in the opening round of the Belgian Darts Open and is now on a four-match losing streak. He has also lost each of his last three matches against his upcoming opponent in all competitions.
