Every year, at least a few hundred million homes watch the live broadcasts of one or more Premier League games. It’s by far the most popular domestic football league in the world. With so many superstars, exciting teams, flamboyant personalities and unpredictable games, each season brings so many new stories that being a fan is totally worth it. The 2023/24 campaign is no different. There is plenty of intrigue, especially at the top. Let’s look at the best odds for the Premier League.
Title winners – a three-horse race
At the time of writing this article, there are 7 matches remaining for each of the top 3 teams. The standings are as follows.
Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City as the main contenders with an insane battle down the stretch. Arsenal, currently leading, has shown significant maturity and control in their games, catching the right wave in the crucial 2nd half of the season. Despite a challenging schedule ahead, Arsenal’s squad is understaffed so to speak, particularly if key players like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, or Martin Odegaard face injuries. They have a tough road ahead, facing Tottenham, Man United, Chelsea along with a 2nd leg against Bayern in Munich, in the Champions League.
Liverpool are neck and neck with Arsenal on points but trail on goal difference. From a neutral POV, this team, faces an arguably easier conclusion to their year. Jurgen Klopp’s final season could see Liverpool reds clinch the title after a 4-year drought. Opposed to Arsenal who compete for the UEFA Champions League, the Merseyside team is competing in the weaker Europa League, yet battling a formidable Atalanta and having a huge deficit for the 2nd leg. Moreover, their schedule turns out to be quite difficult too as they face surprising Aston Villa, dangerous West Ham and the 4th place Spurs before the season’s end.
Manchester City is just a point behind. That team can never be counted out. Even more so, the most star-studded roster in the history of professional English football has a much easier schedule, only facing one top shelf team before the season’s conclusion – Tottenham.
The best odds for winning the Premier League are:
Manchester City – 3/2
Arsenal – 7/4
Liverpool – 9/4
Relegation Odds in the Premier League 2023/24
In the unfortunate battle for relegation two teams are most certain “favourites”. They are Sheffield United and Burnley. Right now, bookmakers offer by far the best odds in the Premier League relegation bets for Sheffield United at 1/200.
Burnley comes at close second and they get 31/500 odds. This means that a 100 GBP bet would pocket you 106,2 GBP or a profit of 6,2 British Pound Sterling.
Some other teams are in hot water as well. These include Crystal Palace, Brentford, Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Luton Town. The latter 3 seem most at risk. Everton might be in a much better state, but they had 12 total points deducted for financial violations. Notthingham Forest got 4 points deducted too. These teams’ performances in the coming weeks will be crucial to their survival aspirations.
Best Odds for the Golden Boot
The top scorer title is always sough-after. Premier League has never been lacking in terms of offensive firepower and the 23/24 campaign seems to be having a super-competitive race in that regard. As of matchday 31-32, these are the standings
Erling Haaland of Manchester City leading the pack. The Norwegian has tallied 19 goals so far this year after a monumental scoring output last season. His odds fluctuate from 2/5 to 4/9 and somewhere in that region.
- Liverpool’s faithful Mo Salah is second with 9/2 odds
- Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins has 7/1 odds
- Cole Palmer has 9/1 odds
In the assists category, only 1 successful pass separates the 1st and 7th positions with 1st-3rd and 4th-7th positions in a dead tie. These assistmen will have to rely on their strikers to meet their marks if they want to be crowned Premier League’s top scoring chance creator.
Finally, in order to be crowned the best goalkeeper, you have to have the most clean sheets. A lot of that is not just on the goalkeeper, but on the entire defensive lineup. Yet, the goalie has to do most of the work. As of now, it seems that the Gunners’ David Raya will run away with the nods. Jordan Pickford mustn’t be forgotten as well. The keeper for the Toffees has been one of the brightest spots in their very woeful campaign.
In conclusion – with the season drawing to a close, and with you knowing the best Premier League odds, maybe it’s time to place a bet?
