Gabby Logan has now shortened into 5/4 to be next Match of the Day presenter
Betting odds continue to be offered on who will be the next Match of the Day presenter with bookmakers still giving odds on who will replace Gary Lineker in the role.
Gabby Logan is now the 5/4 favourite to be the next MOTD presenter with the betting market changing right around in the past week after a surge of bets has seen her odds shorten.
Logan was as big as 8/1 last week but now her odds have been slashed into just 5/4 now with Bet365's market having a whole host of popular names in there.
The latest market gives an implied probability of 44.4% that Logan takes over from Lineker next with the BBC still yet to announce a replacement for him in one of their key presenter roles.
| Next Match of the Day Presenter | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Gabby Logan | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Mark Chapman | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Kelly Cates | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Alex Scott | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Kelly Somers | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| David Jones | 20/1 | 4.8% |
| Reshmin Chowdury | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Former favourite Mark Chapman now drifts out to 2/1
Mark Chapman had been a long-time favourite to host Match of the Day but has since drifted out in the betting market in the last week.
Chapman now sits at 2/1 second favourite in the market with Bet365 still suggesting that he is one of the frontrunners for the role.
Reports earlier this month from The Sun say that the turned down the role with the report suggesting that he said no to a job share between him and Kelly Somers.

Gary Lineker set to step down from role at end of season
Gary Lineker is set to leave the Match of the Day presenter role at the end of the current Premier League season after 25 years in the hot seat.
Lineker though will stay at the BBC for the 2026 World Cup and will lead the coverage of their fixtures for that huge tournament with Thomas Tuchel taking charge of England.
The 63-year-old has been one of the biggest names at the BBC throughout his time there and the latest figures say that he made roughly £1.35m during the last financial year.
