Premier League Darts heads north of the border to the SSE Hydro in Glasgow this week, with some intriguing match-ups lined-up, including Barney facing The Power, and the top two going head-to-head.
After earning an impressive win over Barney in Nottingham last week, James Wade went on to win the Player’s Championship on Sunday, with a 6-5 victory over Peter Wright in the final in Barnsley.
Adrian Lewis suffered a hefty 6-0 defeat to Gary Anderson in the quarter-final of Saturday’s event, and will be eager for a victory in the Premier League having also been turned over 7-1 by Anderson last week. Lewis certainly needs to wary of the threat of relegation, having now not won since the opening week of this competition.
It took Bunting a few weeks to get in the swing of Premier League Darts, but following back-to-back wins over Lewis and the previously unbeaten Dave Chisnall, it seems safe to say the 29-year-old from St Helens has found his feet.
However, Peter Wright has also just hit form after suffering demoralising 7-1 victories in the opening two weeks. Can Snakebite earn a victory in his homeland?
The seemingly timeless rivalry between this pair reignites once again here, with Taylor certainly outperforming the reigning champion so far this season.
Although you can never rule him out, Barney finds himself second-bottom with just three games remaining before the bottom two players are relegated. What’s more, Barney’s run-in is a tough one, with Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson to face after Taylor.
Can The Power add to his rivals woes or will Barney start to demonstrate his quality?
Despite being bottom of the table, Huybrechts has certainly showed himself to be no pushover in his debut Premier League Darts campaign. The Hurricane has impressed throughout the tournament, however his big downfall has been his failure to hit the doubles when it matters most.
With a quality opponent in the form of Gary Anderson, Huybrechts will need to perfect his game if he wants to earn a win here and reduce his relegation worries.
The top two face off here, with van Gerwen having snuck ahead of Chizzy last week.
Chisnall suffered a disappointing defeat against Bunting in Nottingham last time out, while MVG saw away Phil Taylor by a 7-4 scoreline.
Michael van Gerwen is joint favourite alongside Phil Taylor (11/4) to win this year’s PDC Premier League Darts title, while you can still get around a massive 33/1 on Chisnall to secure a shock championship victory.
