Who Are The Runners And Riders?

Premier League Darts is one of the most popularbetting markets with long standing sports betting operators, who offer odds on single matches,outrights and much more. At the time of writing, while it’s still early days,van Gerwen looks to be the man to beat. He’s not won a night yet, but he’sexpected to be the overall winner if the odds are anything to go by.

Therefore, against Aspinall in the firstfixture of Night 3, you would expect van Gerwen to come out on top. And many wouldalso predict Wright and Clayton to do well in Glasgow too. Arguably, where thequarter-finals are concerned, the game between Price and Smith is certainly oneto keep an eye on.

The duo come into the fixture, both wanting towin, but with different motivations. Price was victorious last week in Cardiffand will naturally want to build on that. On the other hand, Smith has enjoyeda fantastic run of late in darts and is the world champion. He's yet to makehis mark in Premier League Darts 2023, and what better way than to defeat Priceand progress to the semi-finals?
