2026 Premier League Darts – Terry Foord’s Week 12 analysis
Jonny Clayton got the job done again last week in Rotterdam, landing for followers at 9/1 despite not producing huge scoring averages. What stood out was his finishing – clinical when it mattered – as he beat both Josh Rock and Luke Littler without needing to go beyond a 93 average.
That win now puts Clayton five points clear of Littler at the top, with Gerwyn Price ten points back in third. The race for the play-off spots is still open, but it’s starting to take shape. Clayton, Littler and Price look the most consistent, leaving a scrap behind them for that final place.
The night opens with Gerwyn Price against Gian van Veen. Price comes into this off the back of a European Tour win in Germany and looks in excellent touch. This will be their fifth meeting in this year’s Premier League, with Price having won three of the previous four.
The winner faces either Stephen Bunting or Jonny Clayton in the semis. Clayton has had the edge in this matchup as well, winning two of their three meetings so far. Bunting’s scoring is competitive, but his doubling continues to hold him back at key moments and it's hard to back him with any confidence as a result.
In the bottom half, Josh Rock takes on Michael van Gerwen. Rock has now won four consecutive quarterfinals and, in truth, probably should have gone further last week. If his doubling holds up, he’s more than capable of taking MVG out.
The final quarter-final sees Luke Humphries face Luke Littler. Littler started last week’s final strongly but lost focus as the match went on, particularly with the crowd heavily behind Clayton. That kind of atmosphere could again play a role here, especially if things don’t go his way early.
Terry Foord’s best bets for the 2026 Premier League Darts Night 12
Stephen Bunting being in his hometown adds a narrative, but it doesn’t fix the doubling issues – and that’s been the difference most weeks. It’s why Clayton keeps getting over the line.
The top half looks set up for a Price vs Clayton semi-final, and on current form, Price probably edges that. The price around 4/1 doesn’t offer enough margin, though, so it makes sense to look elsewhere.
Josh Rock is interesting in the bottom half. He’s playing well and could beat Van Gerwen, but there’s always a concern around his finishing deeper into the night.
That leads us to Luke Humphries. He needs points, plain and simple, and this feels like the moment where he must step up to preserve his Finals Night bid.
If he gets past Littler, the path opens. With potential pressure on Littler from the crowd again, that first match is key to how the whole evening unravels.
At 7/1, Humphries still looks the main value play this week, but I’ll also have a small saver on Josh Rock at a bigger price.
If his doubling clicks, he’s more than capable of going deep – and if we land a Humphries vs Rock semi-final, we’re in a very strong position.
Bet Summary & Staking Plan:
1.25pts e/w – Luke Humphries to win night 12 – 7/1 (Various)
0.25pts e/w – Josh Rock to win night 12 – 16/1 (Sky Bet/ Paddy Power/ Betfair)
Total staked - 3.5pts
