Premier League Darts Heats Up in Belfast: Luke Humphries Aims for Fourth Straight Win
Belfast, April 6th – The Premier League Darts circuit heads to Belfast this Thursday, with the in-form Luke Humphries looking to extend his winning streak to four consecutive nights. Humphries, who has won the last three editions, will open the evening against Luke Littler, a match-up that has seen the teenager emerge victorious in their last three meetings.
Humphries’ recent run of form has been nothing short of exceptional. He has won 15 points in the last three weeks, propelling him to the top of the overall standings with a commanding seven-point lead over Michael van Gerwen. The Englishman’s averages have been consistently high, with only one match in the last 10 seeing him throw below a 100-point average, a testament to his remarkable consistency.
“Humphries’ recent run of form has been nothing short of exceptional.”
Despite Humphries’ dominance, Littler will be determined to upset the odds and claim his first victory over the in-form star. Sitting fifth in the standings with 13 points, the same as third and fourth-placed players, Littler will be eager to capitalize on any opportunity to climb the table.
Elsewhere, Michael Smith has been steadily improving in recent weeks, reaching the finals in Dublin and Brighton. With 13 points and the best leg difference among the players on that tally, Smith will be aiming to continue his upward trajectory and challenge for a spot in the final four.
Meanwhile, Van Gerwen’s form has been a cause for concern, with the Dutchman losing his last four Premier League Darts matches. However, he still maintains a slim two-point lead in the race for the finals, and will be keen to regain his winning touch in Belfast.
Other notable matches include Nathan Aspinall‘s clash with Gerwyn Price, and Rob Cross‘ showdown with Peter Wright. Aspinall has been one of the most improved players in recent weeks, while Cross will be looking to bounce back from two consecutive defeats and solidify his position in the top four.
As the Premier League Darts season heats up, the Belfast leg promises to deliver another evening of high-stakes, entertaining darts action.
