SELECTION: 1pt Dobey v Humphries to produce most 180s in the QFs at 7/2 (bet365)

Luke Humphries got plenty of unfair stick about feeling 'emotionless' on stage due to the hectic schedule but his response was anything but emotionless as he averaged a staggering 118.43 in last week's quarter-finals against Stephen Bunting.

That was the sixth highest televised average in PDC history and although he followed it up with two in the 90s against Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall, it still serves as a warning sign to his rivals.

He's opted for rest over Players Championship action this week and will be confident of making it four Premier League wins in a row over Chris Dobey, who is running out of time to pick up the points he needs to challenge for a play-off place.

Hollywood stunned a lacklustre Luke Littler in the quarter-finals a couple of weeks ago but was below his best in a 6-4 defeat to Michael van Gerwen in Manchester and didn't produce much to write home about in the Pro Tour events this week.

The maximums battle, however, is too close to call and given their respective 180 per leg ratio they could challenge Littler v Cross for producing the most, especially if we see at least 10 legs.

Scoreline prediction: 4-6

Gerwyn Price (4/6) v Nathan Aspinall (6/5)

Head-to-Head: 20-13 (TV: 10-9)
Average (2025 all comps): 98.39 - 95.36
180s per leg (2025 all comps): 0.33 - 0.35
Checkout % (2025 all comps): 44.41% - 39.37%

Nathan Aspinall reminds me of the weather forecast when it gives you an actual temperature followed by a 'feels like temperature' that's actually higher.

He may well be one of the weaker players when it comes to statistics and averages, but it feels like he's enjoying one of the best seasons out of everyone this year - particularly when you bare in mind all the controversy surrounding his selection at the start of the season.

His attitude has been exemplary. He's given his absolute all every single week to give the fans entertainment and prove he's so much more than just a great walk-on track.

Not only did he achieve a dream nightly win in front of his Manchester crowd last week but he's also picked up a maiden European Tour title from two finals this season and came agonisingly close to landing a Players Championship crown earlier this week.

I'll be honest - I didn't think he should have been picked. But several months on, I'm really hoping he can keep this consistent run going and get himself in the play-offs.

Sadly, after all this build-up, I feel Gerwyn Price might have too much in the tank for him in Rotterdam, even though he's managed two nightly victories here in the past.

The Iceman was extremely consistent on the Pro Tour this week with three 100+ averages from his six matches and hasn't dropped lower than 97 in any of his last 11 games in all competitions.

Price, who averaged 103.5 in defeat to Luke Littler seven nights ago, is warming up nicely and could well pinch a tight encounter that has plenty of pressure on it due to both players being level on points with MVG in the battle to finish in the top four.

Stephen Bunting (19/20) v Michael van Gerwen (4/5)

Head-to-Head: 4-21 (TV: 1-10)
Average (2025 all comps): 97.28 - 96.54
180s per leg (2025 all comps): 0.37 - 0.26
Checkout % (2025 all comps): 39.82% - 39.93%

There may well be 10 points separating Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting in the Premier League table but that clearly doesn't reflect a genuine gulf in class.

MVG has endured a highly difficult season so far having failed to win a title of any kind or a Premier League night, and just seems to be getting harder thanks to his injury mishap a couple of weeks ago and just a general loss of form.

He's managed just one 100+ average in his last 13 matches while he's dipped below 90 four of those occasions, including a disappointing 86 against Nathan Aspinall in Manchester last week.

The Rotterdam crowd will obviously be in his favour but sometimes the weight of expectation can be a hinderance, and if Bunting plays to his form, then he could well be the party pooper.

The Bullet has averaged over 100 in five of his last six games in all competitions, which includes his triumphant European Tour run last week, and he'll be rested after opting against the Players Championship events this week.

Luke Littler (1/4) v Rob Cross (11/4)

Head-to-Head: 12-2 (TV: 11-2)
Average (2025 all comps): 100.81 - 97.39
180s per leg (2025 all comps): 0.48 - 0.27
Checkout % (2025 all comps): 41.35% - 41.36%

Luke Littler has rarely found himself in a rut during the early stages of his blockbuster career but - relatively speaking - he's in the midst of one now having averaged over 100 just once in his last 13 games in all competitions.

This baffling run, which began at the start of April, has seen him lose five of those matches while he's also failed to reach a Premier League final as he chases a record-breaking fifth nightly victory.

That latter target seemed inevitable when he picked up his fourth towards the end of March and some even pondered the thought of him even reaching 10 before the season was out.

With six weeks remaining, he's got more than enough time to smash the record - even if it's not going to be as many as 10 - and having opted to miss the Players Championship events in Rosmalen this week, he should be fully rested and fired up to overcome an opponent he's beaten in their last five meetings.

There's not much logic to favour Rob Cross tonight considering he's lost four of his last six matches since March 31 and only averaged above 100 in one of those, so I'm expecting a routine win for Littler.

Scoreline prediction: 6-2
