Night 7 match predictions

Here are my predictions for a stacked slate on Night 7.

*Semifinals and final listed below are my predictions based on the quarterfinals

Quarterfinal 1: Gian van Veen vs. Michael van Gerwen

Winner: Gian van Veen, 6-3

It's been a rough stretch for MVG, results-wise, in the last few weeks, as he's lost 7 of his last 9 matches.

He's sprinkled in some impressive averages during that stretch, but the consistency has been lacking.

GVV has lost a handful of games in recent weeks as well, but 2026 overall has been a great year for the young Dutchman so far, and I expect him to take advantage of this form MVG is in.

Quarterfinal 2: Stephen Bunting vs. Luke Littler

Winner: Luke Littler, 6-4

Littler has been virtually unstoppable in recent months.

He has had some tough matchups in the PL recently, but Bunting should be an opponent he can get past.

He has beaten Bunting in 4 of their last 5 meetings.

Quarterfinal 3: Josh Rock vs. Gerwyn Price

Winner: Gerwyn Price, 6-3

Rock enters another PL week with zero points, and this week will be another very tough matchup for him.

Price was runner-up in an ET event this weekend, and made a semifinal run at the UK Open the previous weekend.

Rock will have some confidence in his game after a semifinal run at the UK Open himself, but had an early third-round exit in Germany this past weekend, losing at the hands of an incredible performance/weekend from Wessel Nijman.

Quarterfinal 4: Jonny Clayton vs. Luke Humphries

Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-5

This could be the match of the quarterfinal, as we'll get a rematch of Night 6's final.

It was a one-sided match in favor of Clayton, but a lot of that stemmed from issues on Humphries' end that I believe he'll clean up this week.

It's a match that can go either way, but I liked Humphries chances.

Semifinal 1: Gian van Veen vs. Luke Littler

Winner: Luke Littler, 6-4

This would be the fifth time in 2026 that Littler and van Veen play.

It's evident this could be one of the biggest rivalries in the sport in the coming years, although Littler has been the better player when they've matched up recently.

I expect a fight from van Veen, but Littler has started to find his rhythm again after a period with some sub-par performances to his typical standard.

Semifinal 2: Gerwyn Price vs. Luke Humphries 

Winner: Gerwyn Price, 6-5

As good as both players have been recently, only one player can win.

Price has been chasing a major title, and that drought could end in May with the PL, as he's been off to a great start.

With Humphries pushing towards the top-4 on the table, this would be a great chance for Price to give himself some space on the table, as others push for play-off positioning.

Final: Luke Littler vs. Gerwyn Price

Winner: Luke Littler, 6-4

If this match has half the drama of their quarterfinal last week, then we are in for a treat.

Littler averaged 108.66 in that match, with both players combining for a total of 14 180s in the 11-leg game.

Price has had his fair share of close battles against Littler, but has struggled to close games, so expect a Littler victory in what should be a close contest.

Three storylines to watch during Night 7

Here are the main storylines to look out for on Night 7.

Will MVG and Rock's drought continue?

Rock and van Gerwen have struggled to get points in recent weeks and will look to get back on track in the quarterfinals this week.

Night 6 final rematch: Clayton vs. Humphries

After a blowout win in favor of Clayton last week, Humphries will look to get back on track in the quarterfinals against Clayton this Thursday.

Can Littler close the gap on Clayton for first place?

As it stands, Clayton has a sizeable lead on the table, and it appears it will remain that way until his undefeated streak in quarterfinal matches ends.
