Premier League Darts Night 8 Preview & Betting Tips
📍 Newcastle – Utilita Arena, Thursday, March 28
Night 8 of The Premier League Darts heads to Newcastle, with the Utilita Arena ready to host the best of the PDC. Fresh from celebrating their EFL Cup success, the local crowd will be out in full force to back hometown hero Chris Dobey.
Let’s break down three standout betting angles from Night 8 in the North East.
🧊 Gerwyn Price to Beat Rob Cross @ 1.64
Price was edged out by Rob Cross in a tight 6-5 defeat in Cardiff last week, despite outscoring him with a 97.10 average. The loss came after Cross hit a fantastic 170 checkout – but form suggests the Welshman is primed to bounce back.
On the European Tour last weekend, Price posted massive averages of 103.74, 110.83, and 107.40 across his three matches. That’s the type of sharpness that wins nights in the Premier League. But for now, play it safe that he sees past Cross.
✅ Tip: Price to Beat Cross – 1.64
🎭 Chris Dobey to Beat Luke Humphries @ 3.00
Dobey hasn’t yet hit top gear in this year’s campaign, but he could be well up for it with the home crowd at his back. He recently averaged 101.73 in a Euro Tour outing, proving that the form is still there if he can simply find it.
Humphries is usually the more consistent of the two, but he struggled in Germany last week and looked rattled by the crowd noise.
On home soil, Dobey’s price is tempting – and at 3.00, the value is firmly with Hollywood to deliver on Tyneside.
✅ Tip: Dobey to beat Humphries – 3.00
🐍 Aspinall to Upset MVG @ 2.47
Aspinall may not have the smoothest throw, but he never lacks for grit – and his win at the European Darts Trophy showed what he’s capable of.
He took out big names including Humphries, Gary Anderson, and Ryan Joyce en route to the title, averaging over 100 twice. MVG was solid last week but can be inconsistent in back-to-back events.
At 2.47, The Asp is worth backing to take out the Dutchman.
✅ Tip: Aspinall to beat Van Gerwen – 2.47
