Aperçu de la quatrième nuit de la Premier League BetMGM 2024
The BetMGM Premier League roadshow arrives in Newcastle for Night Four
The BetMGM Premier League continues its exciting journey with Night Four taking place in Newcastle on Thursday. The spotlight will be on Michael van Gerwen as he aims to extend his lead at the top of the table with a third consecutive victory.
Van Gerwen leads the way
Reigning champion Michael van Gerwen currently sits three points clear at the summit of the Premier League. After a disappointing quarter-final exit on Night One, the Dutchman bounced back with back-to-back wins in Berlin and Glasgow.
In the German capital, the 34-year-old produced a trio of ton-plus averages to secure victory. He then continued his winning streak by defeating World Champion Luke Humphries in Scotland. Van Gerwen will now face Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals, a rematch of last year’s Premier League final.
A repeat of last year’s Newcastle decider
Van Gerwen and Price clashed in last year’s Newcastle decider, with Price producing an astonishing 114.96 average to defeat the Dutchman 6-1. This year, they are set to meet once again in the quarter-finals.
Van Gerwen has the opportunity to equal last year’s record of nightly victories with a successful outing in Newcastle. However, he remains focused on taking it one week at a time and not getting ahead of himself in his pursuit of an eighth Premier League crown.
Other key matchups
The winner of the Van Gerwen vs. Price showdown will advance to the semi-finals, where they could potentially face Luke Littler or Peter Wright. Littler and Wright will go head-to-head in the third quarter-final of the evening.
Meanwhile, World Champion Luke Humphries will take on Rob Cross in his Newcastle opener. Humphries impressed in Glasgow and will be looking to build on that performance. He currently sits in the top four of the Premier League standings.
Smith vs. Aspinall kicks off the evening
The evening’s action will begin with a clash between Michael Smith and World Matchplay champion Nathan Aspinall. Aspinall is still searching for his first points of the season, while Smith will be aiming to reclaim the top spot after a defeat in Glasgow.
