Premier League pundits on what they are looking forward to: “Barney v Michael in Rotterdam could be the match of the league”

For most it is the Van Gerwen vs Van Barneveld match in Rotterdam in front of a home crowd. For Rod Harrington though he is looking forward to most to the fight for the Premier League playoffs with multiple players vying for a few spots. Rod Studd said: The double-header in Rotterdam was a smart move by the PDC after the awful weather in Exeter cost us that night. MVG takes on Barney which is arguably the biggest match in world darts. John Part said: The two nights in a row in Rotterdam will be riveting. There will be so much to play for. It cannot help but to be entertaining due to the atmosphere, the electricity, and the meaningful matches. Wayne Mardle said: Barney v Michael in Rotterdam could be the match of the league. Barney will have the majority of the fan-base making noise. Michael will want to keep them quiet, but also keep some onside. Both will be under pressure. It could be massive for Michael to stay top, and for Barney's play-offs hopes. Rod Harrington said: For the first time in years, we're going to have three or four players in the mix for two play-off spots. No 2, No 3 and No 4 could have six players going after it. Gary Anderson isn't home, and Rob Cross could fall back into the pack if he loses to Michael Smith [this week]. Every week, you'll see so many positions change because it's so close.
