Sunderland to be relegated from the Premier League odds have shortened from 5/1 to 4/1 best price as bookmakers cut odds. Get the latest market prediction.
The odds on Sunderland to be relegated from the Premier League have been cut to a best price of 4/1 with Boyle Sports after a blunt home defeat by Brighton dragged them firmly into the bottom-end conversation.
Sunderland lost 2-0 at home to Brighton at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, despite playing against ten men for over half an hour.
Sunderland are priced at 4/1 with Boyle Sports to be relegated from the Premier League.
Coventry remain the favourites at a best price of 4/7 with Bet Victor in the Premier League relegation market.
Starting forward Brian Brobbey and defender Dan Ballard were both ruled out with hamstring injuries before the Brighton defeat.
Sunderland had every reason to take something from Brighton. Pascal Struijk was sent off after a VAR review for denying Wilson Isidor a goalscoring opportunity, handing the home side a man advantage for more than half an hour, and still they could not find a way past ten men. Maxim De Cuyper had already opened the scoring early in the second half, and Jaouen Hadjam rubbed salt in the wound with a stoppage-time counter-attack to seal a 2-0 win for the visitors. That is a messy outing for any side looking to stay clear of the bottom of the log.
The reasons for the market reaction are hard to argue with. Sunderland were without Brobbey up front and Ballard at the back, and the lack of a cutting edge in front of goal was obvious once Brighton went down to ten. The coaching staff had flagged before kick-off that structural adjustments were needed to stop the side being exposed in defensive transition against aggressive opponents, and Hadjam's late breakaway was exactly that problem playing out. Sunderland are now priced at 4/1 with Boyle Sports to be relegated from the Premier League. Our take is simple: this is a team that could not turn a numerical advantage into goals, and the drop in price reflects that.

Who is favourite to be relegated from the Premier League?
Coventry are the favourites in this market at a best price of 4/7 with Bet Victor. The bookmakers see a promoted side who topped the Championship to end a long absence from the top flight as the most vulnerable team in the division. Sunderland sit at 4/1 with Boyle Sports in that same market, some way off the sharp end of the betting but firmly part of the bottom-end conversation after their showing against Brighton.
Coventry – 4/7 with Bet Victor, the clear favourites at the top of the market.
Hull – 5/6 with Betfred, the second-shortest in the betting.
Man City – 13/8 with Bet365.
Ipswich – 9/4 with Bet Victor and Bet365.

What next for the odds on Sunderland to be relegated from the Premier League?
There is no quick fix coming. The club have already confirmed that squad rotation will be needed to manage fitness through a congested domestic and European schedule, and Ballard faces several weeks out, so the back line stays stretched while the attack goes on without Brobbey. Next up is a trip to Bournemouth, followed by a Europa League visit to Lech Poznan, and those outings will show whether this side can find the edge in front of goal it lacked against ten men. Boyle Sports' 4/1 is the number worth watching while Sunderland try to put that result behind them.
