Premier League Relegation Tips and Odds

Published by Jim Haines on March 10, 2009

Usually, with the Premier League two thirds over, it’s fairly easy to predict at least two of the three clubs likely to get relegated. This season – it’s not so clear cut.

There’s 6 or 7 teams with a realistic chance of relegation & this makes for better odds for the smart football gambler.

PREMIERSHIP FOOTBALL RELEGATION BETTING TIPS AND ODDS

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR RELEGATION ODDS :

Spurs are one of those teams that people think can’t go down. Well, they can – they’ve got Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Manchester City away and Liverpool away as part of their run-in.

The odds for Tottenham to get relegated are currently a best price 20.0 (19/1) at Unibet com .

We think : Staying Up. Tottenham’s record against the top four this season is good and their other games should give them enough points to stay in the Premier League.

SUNDERLAND AND BLACKBURN ROVERS RELEGATION ODDS

As you can tell by me lumping the team currently in 13th together with a team in the relegation zone, I don’t think either of these sides is likely to be relegated from the Premiership.

Sunderland have all round solidity and plenty of teams in and around them to pick up points.

Blackburn Rovers, under Sam Allardyce, have regained their tenacity and they still have the best strike force of any team in the bottom half. McCarthy, Roberts and Santa Cruz will get them out of trouble.

HULL CITY :

Hull amassed a lot of points very quickly at the start of the season, but right now, their form is, frankly, shocking.

You can find Bet365 offering odds of 11-4 on their relegation and their run-in includes Liverpool, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Stoke and Bolton, but – in my opinion – there are worse teams in the division and I think they’re staying up as are…

STOKE CITY

Pre-season Tony Pulis’ Stoke were one of the favourites for the drop. And some bookies still have them as one of the favourites to go down even now. Right now, they are 4/5 to get relegated at Victor Chandler.

But, Stoke at home are a formidable proposition and with James Beattie scoring the goals, I just don’t see it.

They’ve got Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham and Wigan all to come to the Britannia and I just can’t see them losing too many of those.

Stoke will stay up.

AND THAT LEAVES…

Portsmouth, Newcastle, Middlesbrough and West Brom.

For West Brom, the race is, frankly, run. They don’t score goals and can’t win football matches. Invest some money on them at to be relegated at 1/10 with Coral Eurobet.

Middlesbrough :

Currently at a best price 137/100 at Eurobet to go down, Boro have no goalscorers and a lightweight midfield. They also have Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle, Aston Villa and West Ham as their last five matches.

They’re not going to make it so get in now.

Portsmouth and Newcastle :

One of these two is going to go. While Newcastle United have by far the better players – Martins, Owen, Nicky Butt, etc – they have still to face four out of the top five.

On the other hand, Pompey have sold all their real quality outfield players, excepting Niko Kranjcar, but have fractionally easier matches to come.

Newcastle United are currently 13/8 at Bet365 to get relegated, but the best bet is Portsmouth to go down at 11/4 with William Hill.
