Premier League Sack Race Betting Intensifies
The Premier League run-in is underway and bookmakers are offering markets on which manager could be the next to leave their position.
With only nine matches remaining this season, pressure is building on several clubs battling at both ends of the table.
According to the latest markets, Burnley manager Scott Parker has moved to the head of the betting to be the next Premier League boss to depart.
His side’s difficult season has left them deep in relegation trouble prompting BetVictor to make him the evens favourite in the latest sack race odds.
Next Premier League Manager to Go Odds
| Manager | Club | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scott Parker | Burnley | EVS | 50.0% |
| Oliver Glasner | Crystal Palace | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Arne Slot | Liverpool | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Fabian Hurzeler | Brighton | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Eddie Howe | Newcastle | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Parker’s evens price suggests bookmakers believe there is a strong chance Burnley could make a managerial change before the end of the season.
Burnley’s Relegation Battle Driving Sack Race Odds
Burnley’s struggles this season have played a major role in Parker becoming the favourite in the sack race betting.
The club currently sits 19th in the Premier League table, with a nine-point gap to safety and only nine matches remaining.
Their poor form has also been reflected in the relegation betting market.
Burnley are currently priced at 1/100 to be relegated, indicating bookmakers see their drop to the Championship as almost inevitable.
Even bottom-placed Wolves are shorter in the relegation market at 1/80, highlighting just how difficult Burnley’s position has become.
What the expert says...
Glasner Could Depart Before Season End
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is also prominent in the betting market at 5/4.
While it has already been confirmed that Glasner will leave the club at the end of the season, betting markets suggest there is still a significant chance he could depart earlier.
Bookmakers are therefore pricing the possibility that his exit could happen before the campaign concludes, which would place him ahead of Parker in the sack race.
Further down the betting, Liverpool boss Arne Slot and Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler are both priced at 8/1, though there has been little immediate indication that either club is considering a managerial change.
