The Premier League Darts goes into the crucial season phase. Among other things, Michael van Gerwen must worry about moving into the playoffs. Record world champion Phil Taylor suspected.
On Thursday evening, the Premier League Darts will be guest in Birmingham on match day 13. The race for the playoffs continues to spoil four rounds before the end.
Luke Littler is currently comfortable at the top of the table with 30 points. This is followed by Luke Humphries (26), Gerwyn Price (20) and Nathan Aspinall (17), who, according to the current stand, would also be qualified for the playoffs.
Michael van Gerwen (17), Rob Cross (14), Chris Dibey (12) and Stephen Bunting (8), on the other hand, still have to make up for places to be part of the big showdown in London on May 29.
In addition to Cross, van Gerwen is the only player who has not yet won an evening in the Premier League Darts in the previous course of the season.
“He will certainly not like that”
“Michael van Gerwen is currently fifth and he will certainly not like that,” said darts legend Phil Taylor to “Betngoodwin” a nearby suspicion.
“We will see what happens on Thursday. The one who has his nerves best under control, especially in front of the spectators, has a great chance to win,” added the record world champion with a view of the coming matchday in Birmingham.
After all, van Gerwen was able to collect confidence on the European Tour when he won the German Darts Grand Prix in Munich on the Easter weekend.
“That definitely means a lot to me. I am in a very difficult phase of my career. Winning this event with the pressure of the week after week to win on me means the world,” the Dutch was cited by the PDC Europe.
On the last matchday of the Premier League Darts, van Gerwen initially achieved a respectable success with a 6: 5 against Littler. After that, 4: 6 ended against Humphries.
