We are only two weeks in, but the player of the tournament so far is Jonny Clayton, who has made two out of two finals, winning the second one, after finishing as the runner-up a week earlier in his native Wales.

This has put the Ferret at the top of the table and the reigning champion has now been installed as the bet365 darts betting outright favourite at 11/4.

But what can we expect from night three in Northern Ireland and what are our favorite darts betting tips of the evening?

Night 1
Night 2
Night 4

Michael Smith V Gerwyn Price 

The night gets underway with Michael Smith and Gerwyn Price.

Both players were hotly tipped to enjoy a good Premier League campaign but have so far been massively underwhelmed.

In Price’s case, he’s to the point where his number one ranking is under serious threat from Peter Wright, winner of week one, but who himself flopped out in last week’s first match against Michael van Gerwen.

Smith is winless so far after being falling at the first hurdle in both Cardiff and Liverpool against Peter Wright and Jonny Clayton respectively.

The Iceman, on the other hand, has at least registered his first points on the board after making it through to the semi-finals last week where he eventually lost out to Joe Cullen

With his number one spot on the line, and looking for some Ally Pally revenge on the Bully Boy, you really feel like the Welshman, whose 30% finishing rate is the lowest of the eight competitors, should finally kick into gear this week after a poor start to the year.

Surely Price must win this one.

Joe Cullen v Michael van Gerwen

Last week’s runner-up, Joe Cullen is looking to continue his incredible winning run when he steps out against five-time Premier League champion Michael van Gerwen.

The Masters champion put aside his night one debut defeat to comfortably defeat both James Wade and Gerwyn Price in Liverpool before Jonny Clayton proved a match too many.

The Rockstar will now look to go one better in Belfast.

It was the Yorkshireman that prevailed the last time these two met when he beat MVG 10-7 in last month’s Masters.

Mighty Mike will be out to correct that and build on his solitary semi-final appearance so far.

The world number three thrashed Wright 6-1 in last week’s quarter-finals courtesy of a 103 average before blowing a 4-1 lead to Jonny Clayton in what ended up being a 6-4 defeat where the Dutchman posted an average of 105.

Such an average might not have been enough to topple the Ferret but it could be enough to see off Cullen here.

Gary Anderson v Peter Wright

It’s an all Scottish affair for the night’s third match where multiple World Champions Peter Wright and Gary Anderson go toe to toe for the third time this year.

The first of those came at the World Championships where Snakebite produced a 104 average and a tourney record 24 180s to deny his World Cup of Darts winning partner back-to-back appearances in the final at Ally Pally.

The pair met again a fortnight ago in Cardiff when the world number two came out on top again on a night he would go on to win.

Since then, Wright’s form has dipped a little and he was out first-time last week narrowly avoiding a whitewash at the hands of Michael van Gerwen, something he couldn’t avoid over the weekend at the hands of Ryan Joyce on the ProTour.

That said, no one flip-flops their form as much as Peter Wright, so we have to wait and which version of snakebite shows up in Belfast.

Anderson is one of four best darts players who are all tied on two points and is looking to recover from last week’s first-round dismissal at the hands of Gerwyn Price, in which the Flying Scotsman could only post an average of 90.

Depending almost entirely on Wright’s form, it is a tough one to call but given how poor he was last year, we can only hope for Wright to bring his A-game and progress through to the semi-finals.

James Wade v Jonny Clayton

The quarter-finals conclude with James Wade facing off against league leader Jonny Clayton, who came out on top in Liverpool after a memorable 6-4 win over Joe Cullen in the final.

Clayton leads the way in the table on eight points and will be rightly confident of building on that against The Machine, who was shot down 6-3 by Cullen in their first-round match last week.

With six points currently separating the two players, Wade will be hoping to put more points on the board in order to avoid losing ground on those above him.

His solitary two points came at the expense of Gerwyn Price on opening night, but his tournament average of 89.4 is the lowest in the entire field. He will need to improve upon this if he is to stand a chance against The Ferret, who looks like a certain winner in the last quarter-final of the night.

Given Gerwyn Price’s side of the draw and the form of the Ferret, it is easy to see an all Welsh final where the Iceman can finally get back into his groove.

Premier League Darts 2022 Night 2 Betting Tips And Predictions

Week one of the new look Darts Premier League saw Peter Wright put in a commanding performance to win the first mini-tournament and claim five points for the table.

Cardiff was the setting as Snakebite averaged 133 in the final to beat local favourite Jonny Clayton, who now collects three points for the table to occupy second place in this PDC event.

Despite posting such a high average, the league leader still complained about his darts and claims he will carry on switching them.

What’s previously happened at the 2022 Darts Premier League:

Night 1
Night 3
Night 4

Peter Wright v Michael van Gerwen

The evening gets underway with Peter Wright taking on Michael van Gerwen.

Mighty Mike is still seeking his first points after his opening day defeat to Gary Anderson.

World champion Wright opened up his campaign by averaging 100 against a disappointing Michael Smith in a repeat of the Ally Pally final, before seeing off Anderson 6-5 in the semi-finals.

On current form, Snakebite looks to have the edge, having won their past three matches and by quite sizeable margins too.

The Scotsman was in hot form last week in Wales following a shift from his “fat” darts and, even though he is likely to change gear again, a fourth successive victory could be on the cards here.

In all, Wright has lost just three of his last 35 matches and looked red hot in the Welsh capital. You would expect to see him beat Michael van Gerwen, who cannot buy a win right now.

Snakey will face the winner of match two between Jonny Clayton and Michael Smith.

Jonny Clayton v Michael Smith

Jonny Clayton opened up his defence of his Premier League title with two impressive wins before being outplayed by Snakebite in last week’s final.

Michael Smith, on the other hand, simply never got started but, like Clayton last week, has what is basically a home crowd behind him this time around.

Unusually, Bully Boy didn’t land a single 180 in week one, while Clayton, despite being overwhelmed in the final, looked in good shape as he saw off Joe Cullen and James Wade with relative ease.

Smith needs to seriously up his game if he is to get the better of the Ferret who looks the favourite to move into the last four unless Bully Boy rediscovers his best form in time.

James Wade v Joe Cullen

The other side of this week’s draw opens with James Wade and Premier League of Darts debutant Joe Cullen facing off.

Wade pulled off an opening night upset as he took the points over the world number one and home favourite Gerwyn Price in a match where neither player hit an average above 90, although the Machine did pin three 100+ checkouts.

Cullen was dismissed with ease by Jonny Clayton on his first Premier League appearance a week ago but has beaten Wade three times in the four occasions they have met since 2018 and won’t have a hostile crowd against him this week.

With last week’s experience behind him, we can expect a close match with the Rockstar, who did shoot five 180s and a 102 checkout on his solitary DPL appearance, just about edging it so long as he improves on his doubles.

Gerwyn Price v Gary Anderson

The last quarter-final of the night sees Gerwyn Price take on Gary Anderson.

The Flying Scotsman has points on the board after beating Michael van Gerwen 6-4 last week.

Anderson averaged just 91 compared to his opponent’s 96 but took the victory due to being better at the doubles as MVG missed six out of ten.

The Iceman has won four out of their last five encounters but will need to do much better if he is to continue the streak.

Last week in Cardiff, Price looked nothing less than flat, possibly weighed down by expectation in front of his own fans, while Anderson can take heart from beating van Gerwen before a narrow defeat to eventual winner Peter Wright in a deciding semi-final leg.

Price is likely to return to being the boo boy and pantomime villain. While he is unlikely to enjoy the reception, it does seem to bring the best out of him, which will be important as must surely get some points on the board this week before his campaign derails.

Should Price progress he could have a chance to get revenge on James Wade — if the Machine overcomes Joe Cullen — which could lead to an all Welsh final with the Iceman claiming all five points and the cash to finally get his title challenge up and running.
