Stephen Bunting vs Chris Dobey prediction

Stephen Bunting's Premier League revival ended before it really began with successive quarter-final defeats all but mathematically ending his already slim playoff hopes.

If the Bullet is to avoid finishing in last place, he realistically needs to defeat Chris Dobesy, who is one place and four points ahead of him in the table.

Bunting lost his European Darts Grand Prix opener to Cameron Menzies on Saturday, while Dobey lost at the same stage to Luke Woodhouse.

Although Dobey threatened a late Premier League charge himself by going all the way in Rotterdam on Night 11, he has also been defeated at the first hurdle in each of the last two Premier League nights, and it is surely now or never for the world number eight.

Dobey has won both meetings with Bunting in this year's Premier League, and with the greater motivation to at least threaten a top-four place, we're backing him to win this basement battle in Leeds.
