Prediction
Luke Littler
Clear favourite
- Littler leads the Premier League with 34 points and five night wins — no other player has more than four
- MvG averaged 107.54 in the Night 12 semi-final and still lost 6–5 to Littler — his best performance of the season, in defeat
- Littler has beaten MvG twice this season: 6–5 in the Night 12 semi-final and 6–3 in the Night 5 quarter-final
Stat worth knowing
Van Gerwen is the only player in the field capable of producing a 107 average and losing. The problem is he has produced those averages against Luke Littler specifically. Their Night 12 semi-final was the best individual performance of any losing player this season — and it was not enough. Littler is the most reliable match player in the competition right now.
Stats verdict
Littler on form, wins, and head-to-head. MvG is capable of anything — but recent history is squarely against him.
