What is the likelihood of Everton getting relegated?
To better understand the likelihood of Everton getting relegated at the end of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, you may want to study and compare the odds currently being offered at today’s most trusted sports betting sites.

Everton are currently second odds-on favourite team to be relegated from the Premier League, along with Bournemouth (odds-on favourite to get relegated) and Southampton.
Let’s take a closer look at the latest odds for this particular market.
- Everton – It’s not looking good for the Toffees. They are currently priced at 7/10 in UK fractional odds to go down at the end of the season. In European decimal odds, it’s the same as saying 8.00. If you prefer American/moneyline odds, it’s -143. It also means that Everton have a whopping 58.8% implied probability rate of going down to the Championship. Therefore, it’s looking fairly certain they will get relegated
- Bournemouth – The Cherries are currently priced at 33/100 (which is 1.33, or -303). This team has a 75.20% chance of getting relegated
- Southampton – It’s also looking bad for The Saints, who are currently priced at 17/20 (1.85, or -118). This team has a 54.10% chance of getting relegated
Behind these three favourites are Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, and Wolverhampton Wanderers. All three of these teams are currently priced at 11/4 (275, or 3.75), with a 26.70% chance of getting relegated.
