Premiership Relegation Battle The Most Exciting Ever According To Odds

 Subscribe in a reader

Not only is this season’s Premiership title race and the Champions League qualification race more open than ever before, we are also looking at what is probably the most open relegation battle ever in the Premiership.

The bottom half of the Premiership are currently separated by just seven points and all the teams in the bottom half are within at least five points of the relegation zone, meaning that very few teams consider themselves safe with just over ten games to go this season. According to the table it is Blackburn and Blackpool who are the safest of the bottom half teams but Blackpool are still far from safe despite their win over Spurs during the week, Blackpool are deemed fifth favourites to go down with the bookies and can be backed at 3/1.

According to the bookies the bottom four at the end of the season will feature all the W’s, who are the four teams that make up the current bottom four. West Brom are most likely to survive, they are 5/4 to go down with the current bottom three expected to remain there, all three of the bottom three are odds on to go down.

Wigan and West Ham are most likely to finish bottom, both teams are 8/15 to be relegated and around 11/4 to be rock bottom. That just leaves Wolves who are likely to make up the numbers in the bottom three according to the current Premiership relegation odds, they are 4/5 to do down this season.

The other team who could still be in trouble according to the latest odds are Birmingham, some good recent form has seen them move three points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand over most of their rivals and they are probably safe now at 4/1 to go down. The likes of Aston Villa and Everton are still very close to the relegation zone but both are clearly expected to survive given their odds to go down of 16/1 and 22/1 respectively. With Premiership matches coming thick and fast the relegation odds are changing dramatically each week, we could have three new favourites to go down in a few weeks time.

Relegation battle baffling punters and bookies alike

With Blackpool currently riding high in the Premier League, and Liverpool occupying one of the relegation positions, punters and bookies could well be forgiven for scratching their heads in wonder as to which team they should be backing to be one of the unfortunate three that will not be playing Premier League football next season.

Even though minnows Blackpool have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season, bookies have failed to react and the Seasiders are still a very short price to spend just one season in the Premier League. With this in mind, punters looking to put football bets on Blackpool may well be wiser having a look at their final league position, rather than simply betting that they are going to be relegated.

One bet which rival fans might enjoy getting involved with is backing Liverpool to complete their fall from grace by joining the likes of Cardiff City in the Championship next season, an occurrence that, despite all the troubles both on and off the pitch at Anfield, bookmakers still believe is an unlikely scenario, which therefore leaves betting fans with some rather tempting odds, even if they are not Premier League tips for relegation.

With the likes of Wigan and Wolves still not presenting punters with great odds for failing to avoid the drop, one side that does hold a far greater appeal, and also offers a reasonable chance of punters seeing a return on their money, is Newcastle United. Although they’ve started the season well enough, they are yet to convince bookies that they are not one of the likeliest sides to be relegated.

Liverpool Relegation Odds

After what was another shocking and upsetting weekend in the Premier League, if you’re a Liverpool FC fan that is, many are giddy with delight at the prospect of Liverpool getting relegated i.e. MANU and Everton fans to name but two.

So Blackpool are just the most recent team to take a scalp at Anfield and things are not looking good at all for the scousers, even with the supposed saviour that is Roy Hodgson but let’s be fair – you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear and neither can he.

And though I have no doubt that they will turn their fortunes around over the next few weeks, you can still take a cheeky bet on them getting relegated at Paddy Power Bookmakers who are currently offering a reasonable 16/1. Worth a punt????
