- Either Tottenham or West Ham United will be relegated, but the Spurs have the advantage.
- Two Champions League spots are up for grabs between Liverpool, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Bournemouth.
- Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes needs one assist to set the Premier League season record, has +200 odds to record an assist against Brighton.
MANCHESTER, England – There are plenty of storylines and drama ahead of Sunday’s action-packed final matchday with 10 Premier League matches kicking off at the same time. Arsenal has already claimed the title, but there are legal sports betting implications for relegation, Champions League spots, and individual incentives.
Bruno Fernandes To Set Premier League Assists Record (+200)
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes tied the single-season Premier League assists record with his 20th on Sunday. He has the opportunity to break the record with +200 odds by recording an assist against Brighton & Hove Albion, but two assists for Fernandes would give him the record for most assists in a single season across Europe’s top five leagues.
Filling Up Final Champions League Spots
The assists record is all that United have to play for in that one, but their opponents Brighton can clinch a spot in the UEFA Champions League. Brighton have -115 odds to win the match at Premier League betting sites, but they’ll also need a loss from Bournemouth (+225) against Nottingham Forest, along with some goal differential assistance to claim the sixth spot.
A Liverpool point (win or draw) at -400 odds would be enough for them to clinch the fifth spot, but Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and Brighton are all in the mix for the final European Champions League spots. Betting odds for a top four finish favor Aston Villa (-190) against Liverpool (+145), so those two teams are likely to occupy the fourth and fifth spots with Bournemouth and Brighton battling for the final spot.
Tottenham Or West Ham Will Be Relegated On Sunday
Over in London, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United fight for their Premier League lives. Relegation odds for betting on soccer favor West Ham United to be relegated at -700 odds, while Tottenham stands at +450 odds.
The only combination of results that sends Spurs down instead of West Ham is a home defeat to Everton (+280) and a West Ham victory (-115) at home against Leeds. West Ham’s inferior goal difference means they must rely on Everton, but the +450 odds for a Tottenham relegation are worth it for the humiliation of one of the most passionate fan bases.
