Luke Littler vs Stephen Bunting Prediction

Luke Littler continues to amaze in the world of darts with last week seeing him hit a nine-darter in Cardiff en route to a 6-4 victory over Michael van Gerwen in the final - his third nightly win of this year's Premier League.

Heading into Newcastle, Littler is six points clear at the top of the table and, given that he leads the field in both the tournament average and overall checkout % metrics, it is hard to see him relinquishing that position.

It has been a contrasting experience for Stephen Bunting though, who is still yet to register a single point after seven weeks of play. Last week saw him post his lowest average of the event - just 87.05 - in a 6-2 defeat to Chris Dobey, and it is clear that his losing run has effected his confidence.

With Littler the overwhelming favourite here, consider the adding the 180s market to your betslip. The world champion has hit an astonishing 92 maximums across the seven weeks to date (48 more than his nearest competitor, and he should pile in a few here.
