We are off to Berlin for Night 9 of the Premier League as Luke Littler chases a third straight nightly win and a sixth straight final.
Michael Van Gerwen will be confident of stopping the phenom though after winning at the Uber Arena last year.
Nathan Aspinall v Stephen Bunting
Stephen Bunting being shorter than $2 against anyone is insane.
He has not won a game and is Bunting mental at present.
Nathan Aspinall continues to struggle with dartitis but he is as plucky as they come and it has netted him first round wins in four of the last six nights that saw him reach two finals.
He averaged 97 and 101 in his two last week but averages mean nothing to Bunting, who ranks 70th in checkout percentage since February 1.
The Asp won 6-2 in their only meeting this year.
Tip: Nathan Aspinall 6-3
Luke Humphries v Rob Cross
Rob Cross has an outstanding record against Luke Humphries and Voltage looks a great chance of besting Cool Hand again.
Cross holds a 14-10 all-time advantage over Humphries with six wins in the last eight meetings.
Cross has won five straight quarters while Humphries has struggled a little of late though he did make the final week in Newcastle.
Voltage is nearly two percentage points higher checking out the last two months than Humphries.
Great price.
Tip: Rob Cross 6-4
Chris Dobey v Luke Littler
This is a complete mismatch so there is no need to over-analyse this one.
Littler has won all four meetings, the last two have been 6-5 but these two are heading in opposite directions and Littler is airborne having won three of the last four nights.
Dobey’s only win since Night 1 was over fellow straggler Stephen Bunting.
Five of his last six Premier League wins have been to three or fewer.
Tip: Luke Littler 6-1
Michael Van Gerwen v Gerwyn Price
MVG has a 7-2 advantage over his old nemesis Gerwyn Price and given how Price has played of late, Van Gerwen looks a super bet.
The last six nights have been incredibly polarising for Price – he has two nightly wins to go with four opening round exits.
Van Gerwen has averaged north of 95 in five of his last seven Premier League matches.
MVG is the more consistent of the two at present and looks a nice bet.
Tip: Michael Van Gerwen 6-4

Nightly Winner
Stick with Littler until he loses. He is a genuine history maker and just keeps winning. He has lobbed with an easy opener and will not start this price in the final against anyone.
Luke Littler ($2.10)
