Here are my predictions for a stacked slate on Night 12.
*Semifinals and final listed below are my predictions based on the quarterfinals
Winner: Gerwyn Price, 6-4
Price is coming off a title at the European Darts Grand Prix from this past weekend.
GVV has struggled to play well in the last month of PL matches. He hasn't held a play-off spot since the end of Night 6.
He certainly has the skillset to beat Price, but he won't have a shot at winning if he produces the type of performance we've seen out of him in recent weeks.
Winner: Stephen Bunting, 6-5
Clayton has been the man to beat in recent weeks, rebounding well after a three-week dry spell from Night 7 to Night 9.
Bunting has won two of his last three quarterfinal matches, and with the Liverpool crowd behind him, we could see him take what feels like a must-win game regarding keeping his play-off hopes alive.
Winner: Josh Rock, 6-4
Rock has won his last four quarterfinal matches after losing the first seven of the 2026 PL season.
MVG has either been the runner-up or a quarterfinal loser in the last four weeks, so there's some uncertainty about what to expect from him entering this match.
This feels like a 50/50 match, but I like Rock's chances, as he's been very consistent in the quarterfinals over the last three weeks.
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-5
Littler has averaged over 99 just once over his last six PL matches, dating back to Night 9.
This has come after a stretch where he averaged over 105 in 7 of his previous 10 matches.
Littler beat Humphries 6-5 last week in Rotterdam, and although I see the same scoreline occurring, Humphries could be the one coming out on top.
There's no doubt Littler can flip the script and end this mini dry spell he's experiencing, but Humphries will be feeling more urgency to win, entering this game.
Humphries has won just one of his last four quarterfinal matches and currently sits three points out of the play-off positions.
Winner:Â Gerwyn Price, 6-3
Price has a 3-3 record in semifinal matches this year, while Bunting is just 1-3.
Price holds a 2-0 record against Bunting this PL season, with a 6-5 win and a 6-2 win.
Price tends to feed off the energy of an opposing crowd, so expect a lot of 'GWANNNs' from Price this week.
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-4
Humphries and Rock are two of the three players to not win a PL nightly title in 2026 (van Veen is the third).
Rock is the only one to not make an appearance in a nightly final yet, and that trend might continue, as Humphries will have the chance to make up some ground on Michael van Gerwen if he makes it to the final.
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-4
Humphries has been one of the main talking points of the PL season, and not for the right reasons.
He's on pace to miss the play-offs, just a year after winning the title, and two years after being the runner-up in a thrilling final against Littler.
However, he has the chance to stay within striking distance of a play-off spot, but he'll need to start picking up a win or two each week to stay in the mix.
A nightly win would be the cherry on top for Night 12.
Here are the main storylines to look out for on Night 12.
A quarterfinal win for Rock on Thursday would give him the second-longest quarterfinal win streak of the season, trailing only Jonny Clayton (won six straight from Week 1 to Week 6).
Bunting is five points out of the play-off positioning, but a magical run in front of the Bunting Mental army this week could give him a shot at making it to The O2.
Littler and Humphries will face off for a second straight week, renewing one of the greatest rivalries the sport currently has.
