Premier League Darts Betting Tips Night 15 Birmingham: Price's position is in peril

By the close of play on Thursday, we will be another step closer to discovering who will compete in London on 23 May for the Premier League title.

Things are incredibly congested with a lot of movement expected over the next couple of weeks, we are all set for an intriguing conclusion to the league phase.

Luke Littler claimed a record equaling sixth nightly win of the campaign in Leeds and third in a row, he will be keen to set a new record this week as the roadshow rolls into Birmingham. The Nuke is now 8/111.73 to win the tournament for a second time.

Could The Iceman be the player to miss out on finals night

A few weeks ago, it looked almost a certainty that Gerwyn Price would secure his spot at finals night. He was in tremendous form, his numbers were exceptional, remarkably clinical on the outer ring, he seemed to be in a really good headspace and looked like he'd be a genuine contender for major glory throughout the campaign.

In addition, he was taking care of business outside of the Premier League with success on the floor and Euro Tour.

Having lost in the quarter-finals in four of the last five weeks of Premier League action, not made himself available for World Cup selection and with health concerns that seem to be impacting the displays he's putting in, things are no longer looking so promising for the Welshman who currently occupies third place in the table.

The 2023 finalist is two points ahead of Luke Humphries and three of MvG.

With Michael van Gerwen posting ludicrous numbers and producing some astonishing performances on the floor earlier this week, picking up his first Players Championship title since October 2024, his match against The Iceman, in the midlands, is going to be of huge significance and it's the Dutchman who'll be feeling the more confident.

Whilst he's not as dependable as he once was to replicate good displays or to turn it on when the pressure is ramped up, I think he'll fancy his chances here against an opponent who seems a little in limbo.

MvG is 1/12.00 just to advance to the semi-finals.

Given the fixtures, the fact that he plays the seven time Premier League champion up first and that Humphries is in the other half of the draw, Gerwyn Price at 2/13.00 to finish outside the top four has caught my eye.

There are so many uncertainties surrounding his game right now and I think the other two are showing more encouraging signs that they can do what's required to get over the line.

Cool Hand to keep accumulating points

Luke Humphries fell just short of winning in Leeds for a third consecutive season, last week, but his run to the final has elevated him up into the top four.

Despite struggling with the conditions, the wind a huge source of frustration, he was able to keep a lid on his emotions to pick up three more valuable points.

Slowing down his throw and speeding up when needed, he is making small adjustments that are bringing him more joy and he is showing more signs of winning those close contests, producing in clutch moments, we may have seen a huge turning point for him.

Cool Hand has come out on top in five of his last six encounters with Stephen Bunting, including in last week's semi-final clash, and I think he will be victorious in this one too and am backing him at 7/42.75 to win and hit four or more 180s.
