What are the odds on Crystal Palace securing a top 10 finish this season? Read oddschecker’s preview of all the key markets ahead of the new season.
Top 10 finish odds
Crystal Palace finished in 14th after a poor end to their campaign. But how do the bookies think they will do this season?
Crystal Palace are 6/1 for a top 10 finish
Bookies don’t think Palace are going to fare much better this season, pricing them the fourth least likely side to get into the top half of the table this season.
They are a best price of 6/1, however some firms have them as short as 4/1.
A lot hinges on whether their star man Wilfred Zaha stays or goes. If he can be convinced to stay, it is possible Roy Hodgson’s team could surprise a few.
The exciting signing of Eberechi Eze from QPR looks a cracking bit of business, with fans purring over the young talent.
Will it be enough for them to force their way into the top 10? Only time will tell but they may be up against it.
Are Crystal Palace in danger of relegation?
Bookies think it is more likely that Palace will be relegated than finish in the top 10. Harsh? Maybe, but since the restart of last season’s Premier League, they were desperately poor. They only won one game, losing seven of their last eight games.
The bookmakers make Crystal Palace a 9/4 chance to be relegated, making them fourth-favourites. Only Newcatle (7/4), Fulham (11/10) and West Brom (11/10) are shorter in the betting than them.

Who will be Crystal Palace’s top goalscorer?
Crystal Palace struggled in front of goal last season, and that reflects in their top goalscroer odds for this season.
Wilfred Zaha is a best price of 250/1, and as short as 80/1 with a few bookmakers. Clearly, firms don’t think he has much of a chance at winning the Golden Boot, but he is Palace’s best shot at doing so!
Jordan Ayew was their top scorer last year, but he is as big as 500/1 to be top goalscorer in the Premier League this year. However, he is as short as 150/1 with two firms.
Next Premier League manager to be sacked: is Roy Hodgson safe?
Roy Hodgson is the current favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
He is a best of 6/1 to be sacked, but one firm are half the price at 3/1.
There has been plenty of interest in him on oddschecker too, and two firms have clipped him into 9/2 in the last few days.
The 73-year-old will know there will be a lot of pressure on his shoulders if he starts the season poorly, but the board are sticking by their man at the moment.
