Night 3 of the 2026 PDC Premier League Darts season kicks off with Stephen Bunting taking on Gian van Veen in Glasgow. The Bullet is in seventh place in the league standings, while the Giant is fourth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Stephen Bunting is having a tough Premier League campaign, yet to win a match in the competition after two nights. He has lost to Michael van Gerwen (6-2) and Jonny Clayton (6-4).
Last week against Clayton, the Bullet averaged a solid 99.55 and made 50% of his checkout attempts, but the Ferret was in excellent form, averaging 103.93 while pinning 85.71% of his doubles.
Since then, Bunting has shown improvement by reaching the final of the Players Championship 3 on Monday. However, he needs to carry that momentum back to the Prem tonight.
Meanwhile, Gian van Veen made a promising start to his debut campaign, reaching the final on Night 1, but he was unable to follow up, losing his opener to Gerwyn Price 6-5 last week.
On Night 2, the Giant averaged 95.61 including two 180s, both better than his opponents’ numbers. He converted 5/12 of his checkout attempts and recorded a highest checkout of 112.
Van Veen exited PC3 in the second round on Monday and has now lost six and won four of his last 10 matches across all competitions.

Our Stephen Bunting vs Gian van Veen Prediction
Stephen Bunting struggled to find top form across the first two nights in the Premier League, but his performance in the Players Championship 3 on Monday was much better and would have given him a much-needed boost of confidence.
Gian van Veen opens as a big favourite in this match, but his form has taken a slight dip since Night 1. The Dutchman may well win this one, but we feel Bullet will push him to the wire at the very least. Our Stephen Bunting vs Gian van Veen prediction is Stephen Bunting +2.5.
