Michael van Gerwen and Josh Rock will meet in the quarter-final round on Night 2 of the 2026 Premier League Darts season in Antwerp. Mighty Mike leads the league standings, while Rocky is seventh. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Night one gave us a glimpse of the Michael van Gerwen of old, as we saw MVG surge to victory with wins against Stephen Bunting (6-2), Luke Humphries (6-2) and Gian van Veen (6-4).
It was a much-needed performance for Mighty Mike as he failed to win a single night last year. Across the event, he recorded the highest checkout (117) and the most 180s (12) on the Night.
Van Gerwen has now won 12 of his last 14 matches across all competitions and also beat this opponent in their last encounter, 11-6 at the World Series Finals.
Meanwhile, Josh Rock had a disappointing Premier League debut in Newcastle last week, as he suffered a first-round defeat to Jonny Clayton 6-2.
However, Rocky put up good numbers, which will encourage him this week. He averaged a solid 101.83 and converted 40% of his checkout attempts. Unfortunately, Clayton’s scoring was immense.
Rock has won six and lost four of his last 10 matches and did beat MVG twice in a row before that defeat at the World Series Finals last September.
