Stephen Bunting vs Rob Cross Prediction

It’s almost fitting that Stephen Bunting and Rob Cross should meet on the opening night of the Premier League as the pair have traded places between number four and number five in the world on a couple of occasions recently.

They also met in the final of the Dutch Darts Masters a little over a week ago, with Cross holding off a Bunting fightback to win 8-5 on that occasion. That came a week after Bunting had gone all the way at the Bahrain Darts Masters, so both are naturally carrying some confidence heading into this event.

With two in-form players doing battle in this quarter-final, expect some high-quality darts in a contest that is likely to go over 9.5 legs.

Stephen Bunting vs Rob Cross Tip: Over 9.5 legs
