by Steve Ashfield | in PDC - Premier League Darts Predictions
This time last week Stephen Bunting had no points in the PDC Premier League Darts tournament. Then he won last week's night held in Berlin and now he faces Luke Humphries this week in Manchester. Can Cool Hand Luke beat him? Here's our match prediction.
Bunting had lost his first match in all eight previous Nights of this tournament. Then he beat Nathan Aspinall. Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price in the final. He claimed another win over Humphries in the weekend's International Open and then went on to lift the trophy.
He remains bottom of the Premier League and is still eight points behind the final play-off position. His confidence will have been greatly boosted by this turn of events and he could go well again this week.
Luke Humphries is second in the table, six points behind Luke Littler. The winner of this match will face either Littler or Gerwyn Price in the semi-final. He has hit the headlines after making comments about perhaps playing too many matches recently.
The world number one has won two Nights so far and lost in two other finals. He has had two matches against Bunting and they are level at one apiece. We tip Bunting to win this on a +1.5 legs handicap.
