2019 Premier League Darts 2019 Week Six Betting Preview
Time for our 2019 Premier League Darts week six betting preview. Has there ever been an atmosphere at a darts tournament quite as raucous as that served up by the Aberdeen crowd in Week Five of the Premier League?
It was a tasty ambience, that’s for sure, and it was that which must have spurred big John Henderson on to deliver arguably the performance of his career on home soil to nick a point against Michael van Gerwen. The Aberdonians went home suitably happy.
Elsewhere, James Wade delivered the highest average of Premier League 2019 thus far – 109.59 – in his 7-0 demolition of Daryl Gurney, while victories for Rob Cross, Peter Wright and Gerwyn Price maintained their push for a play-off place.
Will the assembled masses inside Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on Thursday produce a carnival atmosphere to match that of north of the border? You suspect they’ll give it a very good go…
Bully Boy to Go Back to Basics
When Michael Smith looks at the Premier League table, he will surely be surprised to find himself embroiled in something of a relegation dogfight.
Last year’s finalist has won just one of his five games thus far, and despite averaging topside of a ton against Cross last week he still suffered a 3-7 defeat.
But, some crumbs of comfort, he has hit more 180s than any other player in the tournament so far, and his leg injury will at least be less compromised by the shorter trip to Nottingham from his St Helens home.
An Outsider
Another bit of good news for the Bully Boy is that his opponent, Nathan Aspinall, is one of the few ‘contenders’ without local connotations on his big night. The Asp is from Stockport, and so won’t be on the receiving end of such vociferous support from the partisan crowd as Henderson was in Aberdeen.
Still, the boy can play – as proven by his UK Open triumph at the start of the month, and Smith will have to be at his best to claim the points. He can be backed at 23/20 with Unibet, Aspinall at 11/6 with Betsafe and the draw at 33/10 with 888sport.
