Night 11 match predictions

Here are my predictions for a stacked slate on Night 11.

*Semifinals and final listed below are my predictions based on the quarterfinals

Quarterfinal 1: Luke Littler vs. Gerwyn Price

Winner: Gerwyn Price, 6-5

Price has yet to win a match against Littler in the Premier League this year, with a record of 0-4 up to this point.

However, he's in top form lately, and Littler is coming off one of his worst  TV performances from Night 10, so he'll have a solid chance to win this time around.

Whether or not Littler returns to form shouldn't matter too much, as Price should keep it a close game either way.

Additionally, Littler might not have the crowd on his side this week in the Netherlands, after his on-stage incident with Dutchman Gian van Veen two weeks ago.

Quarterfinal 2: Gian van Veen vs. Luke Humphries

Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-4

Humphries has been in inconsistent form in 2026, as he has won events, but has also had some concerning early exits at others, especially in the PL.

Humphries will have to face van Veen on his home soil this week, but he's the type of player to use pressure to his advantage, so I think we could see the Dutchman fall to Humphries in the quarterfinals.

Quarterfinal 3: Michael van Gerwen vs. Jonny Clayton

Winner: Michael van Gerwen, 6-5

MVG is the second Dutch player who will be returning to his home country this week, and his matchup will be a rematch of the final from last week.

Clayton finally grabbed a nightly win last week after a multi-week drought following his hot start.

MVG certainly had his chances to beat Clayton in that 11-leg contest, and I think because of that, he'll get revenge via a win in their rematch on Dutch soil this week.

Quarterfinal 4: Stephen Bunting vs. Josh Rock

Winner: Stephen Bunting, 6-3

Bunting is five points behind MVG for a play-off spot, which isn't bad considering his slow start.

Rock has experienced a similar start to his season this year, not winning his first PL match until Night 8.

Unfortunately, Bunting's scoring has been very consistent, so Rock could be in for a tough match because of that, as he's averaged a league-low 93.60 this PL season.

Semifinal 1: Gerwyn Price vs. Luke Humphries

Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-4

Humphries has to act soon if he wants to make a run for a play-off spot.

He's five points out of fourth place and has had a lot of early exits at events.

A quarterfinal win should boost his confidence, though, and could be the spark of an eventual run to the final on Night 11.

Semifinal 2: Michael van Gerwen vs. Stephen Bunting

Winner: Michael van Gerwen, 6-3

MVG has appeared to get better as the season has progressed.

Bunting won't be an easy opponent for the multi-time Premier League champion, but expect him to make another nightly final if they match up in the semifinals.

Final: Luke Humphries vs. Michael van Gerwen

Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-4

Both players have beaten each other twice in 2026.

As good as van Gerwen has been recently, he's had trouble at times responding to pressure.

If Humphries can produce a clean and classic performance, it will be tough for MVG to counteract that with one of his own, as his scoring hasn't been as consistently explosive in recent months when he's playing well.

Three storylines to watch during Night 11

Here are the main storylines to look out for on Night 11.

Will a Dutchman prevail?

Michael van Gerwen and Gian van Veen both have the chance to take home the nightly title on their own home soil this week.

Can Luke Humphries have a statement week?

Humphries will look to rebound after losing three consecutive quarterfinal matches in the PL.

Was last week a one-time fluke for Littler?

After one of his worst TV performances, he'll look to rebound against Gerwyn Price this week.
