Following their 3-1 victory away at Old Trafford on Saturday, Brighton are now the sixth most likely team to secure a Top 4 finish according to bookmakers.
At odds of 9/4, Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton now trail only Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle in the Top Four Finish betting market.
The Seagulls are second-favourites behind Liverpool to lift the Europa League this season, which would automatically enter them into next season's Champions League.
Brighton Top 4 Odds
Brighton continued to shake up the status quo in English football as they recorded their fourth consecutive victory over Manchester United with a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro gave them their fourth win from their opening five Premier League matches and moved them up to fifth in the table.
Since the comfortable victory over United, Brighton's odds to finish in the Premier League top four have dropped from 3/1 to 2/1 and bookmakers believe they have a better chance than both United (11/4) and Chelsea (3/1).
Football bettors are in agreement with the bookmakers on this sentiment too, as Brighton are the second most popular bet (12.6% of total bets) to finish in the Top 4 since the season began (Tottenham are the most backed through oddschecker).
| Top 4 Finish | Best Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 1/50 | 98% |
| Liverpool | 4/11 | 73.3% |
| Arsenal | 2/1 | 73.3% |
| Tottenham | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Newcastle | 9/4 | 33.3% |
| Brighton | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Man United | 14/5 | 26.3% |
| Chelsea | 7/2 | 22.2% |

Brighton Europa League Odds
One potential hindrance to Brighton's top-four aspirations could be their first-ever Europa League campaign, which gets underway on Thursday when they host AEK Athens.
They are joined in Group B with Ajax and Marseille, and bookmakers expect Brighton to navigate what looks to be a tricky group on paper.
Albion are 1/4 to qualify from Group B and 11/10 favourites to win the Group and avoid the qualification round which they would take part in if they finished second.
The Seagulls are second-favourites to go all the way and win the Europa League at 14/1, behind Liverpool, who are the overwhelming favourites with bookmakers at 7/2.
| Europa League Winner | Best Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Liverpool | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Brighton | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Roma | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Villarreal | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| West Ham | 20/1 | 4.8% |
