The penultimate quarter-final on Night 11 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season in Rotterdam will see Michael van Gerwen facing off against Jonny Clayton. Mighty Mike is in fourth place, while the Ferret leads the league standings. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

This is a rematch of last week’s final in Brighton. Unfortunately for Michael van Gerwen, that match ended in defeat, as he went down to this opponent 6-5 in a thrilling clash. 

Still, the points earned have taken MVG back into the Playoff zone. He is now averaging 96.96, including 44 180s, though he will be looking for improvement on his 39.34% checkout rate. 

Van Gerwen has split his last 10 matches in all competitions, five wins and five defeats. However, he has now lost each of his last three against Clayton since last April. 

Meanwhile, Jonny Clayton has now won three nights (joint-most) in this season’s Premier League, and his triumph in Brighton also took him three points clear at the top of the table.

The Ferret is averaging 98.00 and has hit the second-most 180s to date (56). He has also been impressive with his checkout conversion, pinning 107 of 236 attempts (45.34%). 

Clayton reached the last 32 of the PC9 event on Monday and bowed out in round two of PC10 the following day. He has now won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
