Ipswich are now 1/1 for Premier League relegation following their recent defeat. Get our full market breakdown, odds analysis and prediction here now.
Ipswich's Premier League Relegation odds have been slashed from 123/200 to just 1/1 with Skybet, and it is not hard to see why the sportsbooks have turned the screw.
Ipswich are now a best-priced 1/1 in the Premier League Relegation market, offered by eight books including Skybet, Paddy Power and William Hill.
Gary O'Neil arrived as head coach on a three-year deal ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, taking over from Kieran McKenna.
The Tractor Boys did land a promising deadline-day signing, bringing in Dutch striker Zian Flemming from Burnley on a four-year contract on 1 September 2026.
Ipswich opened the season with a 2-1 home win over Sunderland at Portman Road on 22 August 2026, but the mood has soured since.
That opening-day win over Sunderland feels like a long time ago. Ipswich were taken apart 5-2 at Old Trafford by Manchester United on 30 August 2026, then came home to Portman Road and were flattened again, losing 0-2 to Liverpool on 4 September 2026. The scoreline barely tells the story — Alexander Isak had the game killed off inside ten minutes, netting twice before the home crowd had properly settled. Two heavy defeats on the spin, both of them leaking goals in bunches, and suddenly the backline looks like the problem the sportsbooks feared it would be.
That is the reason the price has come in. When a newly promoted side ships seven goals across two matches and can not keep the ball out early, the money follows. O'Neil's rebuild always looked like a season-long project, and Flemming's arrival gives the attack a genuine focal point, but the concern has never been about scoring — it is about stopping the bleeding at the other end. Until the defence tightens up, drifting into the Premier League Relegation conversation at 1/1 looks like a fair reflection of where things stand.
Ipswich Premier League Relegation odds
There is little to separate the books on this one. The best available price on Ipswich in the Premier League Relegation market is 1/1, and it is matched right across the board — Skybet, StarSportsBet, Paddy Power, QuinnBet, 10Bet, Live Score UK, William Hill and Unibet are all lined up at that same 1/1, with no shorter or longer number on offer anywhere.

Who are the favourites for Premier League relegation?
Ipswich's 1/1 makes them one of the most likely candidates to go down, but they are not the shortest name on the board. That distinction belongs to Coventry, into the market at 1/2, with Hull nudged in just behind them. Ipswich sit next, and Fulham are the longest of this quartet. The weekend around them offered mixed news for the strugglers: Sunderland grabbed a point in a 1-1 draw away at Brentford thanks to an 82nd-minute Enzo Le Fée penalty on 5 September 2026, and Leeds United dug out a 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion the same day, while Coventry came up short in a 1-0 loss at Manchester City.
Coventry – 1/2 with AK Bets, Bet Victor, Skybet and Paddy Power; the current market favourite for the drop.
Hull – 8/15 with Ladbrokes, Bet Victor and others; second-shortest and firmly in the danger zone.
Ipswich – 1/1 with Skybet, Paddy Power, William Hill and more; two heavy defeats have them squarely in the frame.
Fulham – 9/4 with Bet Victor, Skybet, Paddy Power and others; the longest price of these four but still in the picture.

How do Ipswich avoid relegation?
The short answer is defend better, and quickly. The fixture list does not do O'Neil's side any favours in the near term: Ipswich travel to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on 12 September 2026, then head to Everton at Goodison Park on 19 September 2026. Neither is a gimme, but both are exactly the kind of match a side scrapping to stay up has to make count. If Flemming settles fast and the backline stops conceding early, the 1/1 will start to look generous. If the leaks continue the way they have over the last fortnight, that price will only shorten further.
