Premier League Title Betting

At the start of the season, the betting markets pointed to Liverpool v Man City in this season’s title race. Seven games into the domestic football season, it appears the bookies were correct. Last year’s top 2 are streaking ahead of the field this season. The only question for punters is: which of the two teams will win the title?

Man City still lead Liverpool in the latest title odds despite falling 5 points behind the Reds on the EPL table. According to the latest Paddy Power odds, Man City is paying 8/11 to win the Premier League, followed by Liverpool who are 6/5. It would take a miracle for any of the next 5 contenders to win it: Tottenham, 75/1, Chelsea, 90/1, Arsenal, 125/1, Leicester City, 200/1, and Manchester United, 275/1.

Premier League Top 4 Betting

Premier League title battles have tended to be lopsided in recent years, causing fans to look elsewhere for interesting betting markets. The most popular EPL betting market tends to be the one for Top-4 finish. That’s because the top-4 betting market involves four winners rather than just one, making it more open, exciting, and unpredictable. Man City and Liverpool are shoe-ins for the top 4, which leaves two spots up for grabs. At last count, 11 EPL clubs were in realistic contention to make the top 4.

We checked out William Hill’s top 4 betting market and found Tottenham, 8/1, and Arsenal, evens, in the box seat for the final top places. With that said, a host of other clubs could challenge. Chelsea, 5/1, Man United, 9/4, and Leicester City, 7/2, are all lining up to qualify for next year’s Champions League. Other clubs seen as realistic contenders to make the top 4 are: Everton and West Ham, both 25/1, Wolves, 40/1, Bournemouth 80/1, and Crystal Palace and Southampton, 100/1.

Premier League Relegation Betting

The other EPL betting market that seems to have become popular in recent years is the one involving the three relegated sides. While the Premier League title chase tends to narrow down fairly early in the season, the relegation battle usually contains many unknowns until the final few weeks. This makes it an appealing option for punters and bookies alike.

Premier League relegation odds usually mirror the title and top 4 odds. As you would expect, the seven teams at the top of the title and top 4 betting markets are the same 7 at the bottom of the relegation betting market. That leaves 13 teams that should be worrying about potential relegation to The Championship next year.

Here are the latest relegation odds: Newcastle, evens, Watford, Norwich and Aston Villa, all 6/4, Sheffield United, 14/8, Brighton & Hove Albion, 9/4, Burnley, 4/1, Southampton, 9/2, Crystal Palace, 5/1, Bournemouth, 6/1, Wolves, 12/1, and Everton and West Ham, both 25/1.
