Luke Humphries vs Stephen Bunting Prediction

Although Luke Humphries is top of the Premier League table heading into the third week of action, he will have been frustrated by the fact his performance level dipped in last week’s final against rival Luke Littler.

The world number one has been imperious in both of his Premier League openers so far though, averaging 105 against Nathan Aspinall in the first week and then 106 against Chris Dobey in Glasgow.

Given how strong Stephen Bunting’s form has been over the last few months, he has not made the start to the Premier League that he would have wished. Yet to win a game, the Bullet will be desperate to get points on the board and justify his first selection in the event since 2015.

Unlike Humphries, Bunting entered both Players Championship events in the Netherlands at the beginning of the week, losing in the first round on Monday before bowing out in the last 16 to eventual finalist Cameron Menzies on Tuesday.

The short format can always make these outcomes somewhat unpredictable, but Humphries very rarely loses at the first hurdle in the Premier League, and against an opponent who is likely to be feeling the pressure, we’re backing him to come through this quarter-final in Dublin.
