Bournemouth have shortened from 15/2 to 7/2 with Betway as four of 19 bookmakers cut odds on Bournemouth to finish in the top 6 of the Premier League.
The odds on Bournemouth to finish in the top 6 of the Premier League have been slashed from 15/2 to 7/2 with Betway, and on this evidence the Cherries have earned every bit of that cut.
Bournemouth beat Leeds 2-0 on 31 October, with Evanilson and Amine Adli on target.
Four of 19 bookmakers have cut their odds on Bournemouth to finish in the top 6 of the Premier League.
Bet Victor still hold the best price on the board at 4/1.
Bournemouth have won their last 3 matches in the Premier League, keeping a clean sheet in each of them.
The result that got the bookmakers moving was Saturday's 2-0 win over Leeds at the Vitality Stadium. Evanilson put the home side ahead in the first half and Amine Adli sealed it deep into stoppage time, although Leeds will grumble about an early Dominic Calvert-Lewin goal chalked off by VAR for handball. What really stands out is the back line. That win marked the first time in the club's history that Bournemouth have strung together three straight Premier League wins without conceding. A side this stubborn at the back is a side that keeps picking up points on bad days as well as good ones.
That defensive steel is the main reason the market has turned, and Evanilson is giving it the cutting edge at the other end. The Leeds opener was his fourth goal in four consecutive Premier League matches, and he was hailed as a "real number nine" afterwards, with praise for his instincts in the box and his work rate. Pair a defence that refuses to concede with a centre-forward in that kind of form in front of goal and the bookmakers have little option but to react. Even after the cut, Bet Victor still offer 4/1, which is the number to look at for anyone who believes this run has legs.
Premier League Top 6 Finish odds
Best odds on Bournemouth to finish in the top 6 of the Premier League are 4/1 with Bet Victor, worst 3/1 with AK Bets. Betway, Bet365 and QuinnBet sit together in the middle of that range, with Unibet just a touch shorter than that trio.

Who is favourite as the odds on Bournemouth to finish in the top 6 of the Premier League shorten?
Arsenal are the clear favourites at 1/500 with William Hill, and that price makes sense for a side that went top of the log after Kai Havertz's winner at Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target in that defeat but remain next in the betting, with Chelsea and Brighton close behind. Bournemouth sit tenth-shortest, so this move is about a side forcing its way into a crowded conversation rather than threatening the clubs at the very top.
Arsenal – 1/500 with William Hill, and top of the table after winning at Anfield.
Liverpool – 1/5 with Bet Victor, still short despite that blunt home defeat to Arsenal.
Chelsea – 3/10 with Betway, the third-shortest price in the market.
Brighton – 1/3 with Bet Victor, rounding out the leading group.
Latest bookmaker offer
Can Bournemouth finish in the top 6 of the Premier League?
The next week will show whether this run has staying power. Bournemouth travel to Prague to face Sparta Prague at the epet ARENA in the Europa League, then head back into league action against Ipswich at Portman Road, where squad depth and fresh legs will come under real scrutiny. History offers little to separate the two clubs, with one win apiece and four draws in their previous meetings. Our view is that the defence is the foundation of everything good Bournemouth are doing, and Evanilson is the man turning that control into goals. Keep both of them on the pitch and firing through this busy stretch, and the odds on Bournemouth could keep shortening as the season goes on.
