The third week of the 2026 Premier League Darts is set for Thursday night as eight players head to the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. With two different winners so far, two players winless, and Luke Littler not yet in a weekly final, the race in Scotland for a top-four position is wide open.
### Stephen Bunting vs. Gian van Veen
Stephen Bunting enters this event winless but with a 98.64 average and a final appearance in Players Championship 3 on Monday. Gian van Veen, while reaching the final in week one, struggled in this year’s initial PDC floor tournaments. Despite being priced at 2/5, Bunting, available at 6/5 with a +1.5 leg handicap, seems a good bet.
**MFT Tip: Bunting to win with +1.5 handicap (6/5)**
### Luke Humphries vs. Josh Rock
Josh Rock’s poor performance against Michael van Gerwen last week isn’t indicative of his form. Meanwhile, Luke Humphries benefits from recent PDC ProTour participation. Humphries is expected to win 6-3 (5/1) and could achieve the most 180s, highest checkout, and victory in the match.
**MFT Tip: Humphries to hit most 180s, highest checkout and to win the match (7/2)**
### Michael van Gerwen vs. Luke Littler
Michael van Gerwen, leading by six points, faces Littler, who remains without momentum. Van Gerwen is priced at 9/4, but Littler winning 6-4 (5/1) or 6-5 (6-1) seems feasible, making total legs over 9.5 a safe bet.
**MFT Tip: Total legs over 9.5 (5/4)**
### Jonny Clayton vs. Gerwyn Price
Despite Gerwyn Price winning their last ten meetings, Jonny Clayton has kept margins close. With a 100.15 average and 46.67% checkout rate, Clayton with a +1.5 handicap is appealing.
**MFT Tip: Clayton to win with +1.5 handicap (8/11)**
### Value bets for Premier League Darts Week Three
This week’s fixtures are unpredictable, so consider small bets on accumulators. A Bunting, Humphries, Littler, and Clayton four-fold is available at odds of at least 13/1.
