Game 2 on Night 16 of the Premier League darts season is undoubtedly the pick of the first-rounders, with Nathan Aspinall facing Michael van Gerwen in Sheffield. The Asp is fourth in the league standings, while MVG is fifth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Nathan Aspinall took a massive step toward securing the final Playoff spot last week, having gone all the way to win the Night, beating Chris Dobey 6-1 in the final.
With that win, the Asp moved into fourth place and will secure the final Playoff spot if he beats MVG in the opening round this week.
Notably, though, prior to winning the final last week, Aspinall had lost his two previous opening-round matches, and his record stands at four wins and six defeats in his last 10 across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen will have his chance to get revenge here, as he was beaten in the quarter-final by Aspinall last week, which forced him out the top four.
Given that the Asp went on to win the Night last week, MVG now has to win the Night this week in order to overtake his opponent and reach the Playoffs.
However, van Gerwen has struggled against this opponent this year, having won only one of the five Premier League matches in 2025 to date.

Our Nathan Aspinall vs Michael van Gerwen Prediction
While Michael van Gerwen is showing up as the favourite in this match, most would agree that he was been well below his usual standard this year, now one of just two players yet to record a nightly win.
Nathan Aspinall took a massive step toward the Playoffs last week and will be brimming with confidence coming into this match. He has also beaten MVG four times this season, and we feel that even if he does lose this match, it will be by a very slender margin. Our Nathan Aspinall vs Michael van Gerwen prediction is Nathan Aspinall +1.5.
