Our Michael van Gerwen vs Luke Humphries Prediction
While Luke Humphries has been scoring impeccably in this year’s Premier League, his finishing has cost him wins, and he will struggle to reach the playoffs unless that can be rectified soon.
Michael van Gerwen was clearly not at his best after returning from an illness last week, but having had some time to recoup, we expect MVG to show the type of form he produced on the first two nights of the competition. Our Michael van Gerwen vs Luke Humphries prediction is Michael van Gerwen +2.5.
