Michael van Gerwen
Michael van Gerwen is currently the No. 3 ranked player in the world. Van Gerwen had an outstanding year in 2022, winning three-ranked televised events and one non-ranked event. He then opened 2023 with a runner-up finish to Michael Smith in the PDC World Championship. He beat Smith in Night One of the Premier League, but he could not ride the momentum of that victory to a win in the Finals, where he fell to Chris Dobey. Van Gerwen made it to the semi-finals of Night Two, but lost to Gerwyn Price by a score of 6-5.
Van Gerwen’s draw for the opening round of Night Three is the runner-up winner of Night Two, Nathan Aspinall. Van Gerwen is the favorite to win his opening round matchup.
Michael Smith
The No. 1 player in the world, Michael Smith, had possibly the toughest draw of Night One when he matched up against Michael van Gerwen in the Quarter-Finals. Van Gerwen triumphed in that game, beating Smith 6-3 and then moving on to the Finals, where he fell to Chris Dobey. On Night Two, Smith got past his first-round opponent, Jonny Clayton, but he dropped his semi-final matchup against Nathan Aspinall by a score of 6-4.
Smith is in the unenviable position of facing the winner of Night Two of the 2023 Premier League in the opening round of Night Three. In that matchup, Smith faces Gerwyn Price. Smith is a very slight favorite to get by Price in the quarter-finals.
Gerwyn Price
Gerwyn Price did not have a good Night One of the 2023 Premier League. The veteran player lost to Nathan Aspinall by a score of 6-4 in the opening round. Last week, Price, who is the No. 4 ranked darts player in the world, bounced back from that performance by winning Night Two of the Premier League.
Price has never finished higher than fifth at the end of a Premier League season.
Peter Wright
The No. 2 player in the world, Peter Wright, has yet to make it past the first round of the 2023 Premier League. On Night One he fell to eventual winner Chris Dobey. On Night Two, eventual runner-up Nathan Aspinall sent Wright packing.
In the first round of Night Three, Wright is matched up against Dimitri Van den Bergh. Wright is the favorite to win that contest.
Best bet to win Night Three of the 2023 Darts Premier League
Michael van Gerwen made it to the finals of Night One of the 2023 Premier League and on Night Two he made the semis. Van Gerwen played well in both those games, losing by a close score of 6-5, he is due for a breakthrough performance heading into Night Three.
Pick: Michael van Gerwen to win Night Three of the 2023 Premier League.
